I wanted to see if there was anywhere I could look for tips on how to market an email newsletter. I just started http://www.audiochamber.xyz/ and have been looking to increase our user base. I tried looking on medium as well as posts on here but most seem to be focused on organic growth by posting in groups. I tried that with little increase in the user base. Any other places I should look for inspiration?
I've started a newsletter recently. It's not a huge focus of mine, but I'm committed to doing it weekly, just over 20 weeks in I'm almost at 100 subscribers. It seems slow, but at this stage I don't really care about the numbers, I'm interested in the habit that I'm of doing it and creating something of value. The first 15 weeks or so of it, it was pretty much fully automated, now I'm adding personal/manual touches.
What I've done:
I have a following and successes, but not necessarily in the 'community building' space. From my perspective I'm kinda starting from scratch. I've not had the time to dive into the community world, this newsletter and my general wants to 'network' with other community people is what drives me.
Here it is for reference: https://community.rosie.land/
This is great so which method netted you the highest return for the time?
Honestly, a bit of everything. When I announced it I got about 40 sign ups, but then nothing for ages which was kinda sad, but I didn't do much else to promote it. Since then, I just kept doing little bits here and there. And things just trickled in.
Hi Ayush, I've been creating email newsletters for 12 years. I have all sorts of training videos on the topic at albertideation.com/videos
Happy to chat further.
btw, also signing up for other people's email newsletters and see what they're doing. I love Michael Katz's work, and a couple others.
I guess reddit and facebook group will works the best
