Started newsletter 10 weeks ago, just crossed 400 subs
Newsletter: https://mythicalai.substack.com/
Started Oct 20th 2022.
Growth was slower than usual this last month since I only wrote 1 post in Dec.
This happened because I chose a very ambitious topic, and it took a ton of research. Add that to the holidays where I prioritized spending time with family and you have slower growth.
Still grew by about 50 subscribers however. Another reminder why it is important to share what you create. All those subs found me from previously shared links and learnings.
Awesome growth man, congrats!!
Could you share what are your traffic sources and also how are you promoting it?
Yep! Here are top sources. https://imgur.com/a/QADhAte
Twitter is #1. If someone asks a question I have talked about, I answer, providing value, and link to the newsletter.
That's awesome Josh. Seems that Indiehackers is also one of the top traffic sources for you, right? What are the type of posts you post here apart from build in public updates?
If someone asks a question about AI and I have written about the topic, I reply along with a link.
And I talk about growing the newsletter every couple of weeks with my results. :)
That's great man!!
Wow! I see it definitely pays off to be consistent!
Hopefully, I can keep this up too with my own product: Evoke
Do you have a waitlist for Dreambooth API yet? I would want to check that out.
We'll definitely have one in the near future! Just launched the SD API a couple days ago, so still have to work out the kinks for that one.
I don't remember if you've joined, but we have a discord. And when we release the dreambooth API, everyone will be notified there: https://discord.gg/dXJtarPsCm
So I guess the discord could technically be considered a waitlist :)
400 in 10 weeks is huge, congrats!
Thanks! Picking a topic that had a lot of interest definitely helped.
