Hi IH!
It's been awhile since I've shared an update on my newsletter, Workspaces.
Last June I did a successful AMA here where the newsletter was making $2,000/month with 6,500 subscribers.
Since then, the newsletter has been acquired (I am still the publisher!) and has just passed 11,000 subscribers while maintaining a >55% open rate.
The recent growth can be credited to Twitter.
I have had multiple tweets go semi-viral in the last 2 months. Some are simply amazing setups that the community really loves while others are more playing to the Twitter algorithm/gamification.
Twitter has always been the primary growth driver of the newsletter but the growing Twitter audience is now accelerating this faster than ever before.
I'd love to answer any questions IH might have on how I've been leveraging Twitter to grow this niche newsletter to 11,000+ subscribers while maintaining a high open and click rate.
And as always... if you have a workspace you'd like to have featured shoot me a DM :)
how many tweets do you try before one goes viral?
I've tweeted from the account just over 1,000 times and a handful have gone semi-viral.
Hi there, that's great, and best of luck! How do you monetize a newsletter?
I was previously offering a sponsored slot for every newsletter.
However, the newsletter was acquired and we decided to refocus on growth vs monetization so pulled all sponsorships for the time being.
