    How many editions have you written?

    It takes a lot sometimes.

    This newsletter https://theask.substack.com/p/how-to-get-your-first-1000-email posted 62 editions before cracking 1k subs.

    Ways they grew -

    1.Pay for sponsored slots in other newsletters.
    2. LinkedIn
    3. Asking people directly.
    4. Instagram
    5. Post on other platforms: Quora, Reddit, Hackernews etc

      That's a lot of issues man...I have written 5. Have to start marketing for real and it seems like asking people directly is a good way to grow. Also should start publishing content that can be chopped up for HN and reddit. It's a lot of work isn't it

        Yes totally. You should only try to start a newsletter if you really love it, or you see a huge opportunity you are willing to work for.
