Launched my newsletter today and got my first subscriber

Hello! This is my first post on Indie Hackers. I launched a local newsletter today for my community and I received my first subscriber from a Facebook Ad that I am running. I will be updating my progress weekly. Looking forward to connecting with everyone!

    Congratulations! I'd be interested to see how the Facebook ads go as well (I've not tried this route yet). What's the newsletter about?

      Thank you! I will definitely share the results. I am running the ad for 4 days just to get acquainted with Facebook ads (this is my first). It is kind of like a daily mini magazine for my local community featuring local businesses (about 800,000 people). I have restaurants to try, deals/sales from local businesses, business features, etc.

      It seemed much more time efficient to start a newsletter rather than a full on blog.

        That sounds like a great project.

    Nice! Congrats on the launch. How much did it cost you in ad spend to acquire the subscriber?

    1. 1

      $1.30. I am running the campaign over 4 days so I'll do a post after it is over with all of the stats.

    Welcome and good luck!
