I decided to open up a ton of stats on my newsletter to the "public." Anyone with the link can see this page.
No one gives me feedback except a small percentage of people when they unsubscribe.
One nice side effect of this page is I can see which emails people clicked on the most or opened several times, which kind of tells me what they're interested in. Better than nothing!
The subscriber number isn't correct it's not counting all the bounces. A small bug.
How are you hoping to monetize this newsletter?
Later on I would like to allow readers to buy art through the site and we take a commission. Plus sponsorship or ads in the email.
