I'm $489 away from $10k this month

Courtland promised I would get a 2nd podcast interview if I got to $10k in one month. You can make this happen!

Want to make my day/year and buy 6 High Signal midweek newsletter ads for $489?

This will let me hit $10k this month and hopefully get me back on the Indie Hackers podcast 😀 It's a newsletter with 6, 7 and even 8 figure founders on it where I share the best founder news: https://www.highsignal.io

Giving a discount for bulk purchase!

• 1050 newsletter subs
• 50%+ open rates

    Hey Pete,

    That's a great milestone to aim for! And you're so close! You're doing a great job offering discounts for bulk purchases as an incentive to push your goal over the edge.

    Here's a suggestion that might help - why not offer a limited-time partnership opportunity with your newsletter? For example, instead of just buying ads, let the buyers sponsor a dedicated issue of the newsletter or a section that aligns with their services/products. This could provide a deeper level of engagement for the advertiser and a higher perceived value, making the investment more attractive.

    Also, remember to leverage your existing network and connections. Ask satisfied previous advertisers to spread the word about their positive ROI from advertising with High Signal. Testimonials and word-of-mouth recommendations can often tip the scales.

    Best of luck, and I hope to hear you on the podcast soon!

    Wow, that's amazing! Really nice results!
    Have any stats on CTR%? And also how an ad looks?
    We might be interested! :)
