Hey IH! ๐
I just crossed a MASSIVE milestone of 10,000 newsletter subscribers for my newsletter - Startups.fyi and I'm super grateful to everyone who has supported me so far.
What's worked for me:
- Launching on Product Hunt, BetaList
- Posting on various sub-reddits
- My personal Twitter (this is a big one)
- Launching other side projects to promote it
- Cross promotions with other newsletters
- Word of mouth
What I haven't really tried (or hasn't worked)
- Sharing on Linkedin, Medium, Quora etc.
- Posting on Indie Hackers
- Hacker News
Congrats Jaisal, now I double owe you that whiskey.
We created a competitive analysis for tech newsletters which we will publish in some days.
an โavant-goutโ which is kind of bad news: Every one of the successfull tech newsletters that has over 2000 subscribers, started already with a big following on Twitter or linkedin or had email-lists from a previous project. Not a single Tech newsletter owner (at least in substack) that doesnt have a big following on social media, has more than 2000 subscribers.
Congrats Jaisal! The growth tactics you share give us a lot to explore. Thank you.
I have two questions:
Especially the monthly revenue part.
Thanks Ciler!
Thank you!
Congrats keep it up!
Thank you! Appreciate it :)
What's been the greatest tip to cross promote with other newsletters?
This is very cool mate. Well done. Not easy to get this mark.
Wow, Great, congratulations.
I wonder how you're monetizing this project, or if you're not thinking about it yet.
(I also don't know how or If Indiehackers founders monetize this community)
Congrats man! When did you start this? How did you get the first 100 subs?
Congratulation dear, you deserve it please share some more information about your website,
..how you maintain your website
..which tools do you use for the website
