#17 on Substack's 'Top Posts'
by Dianna AllenI sent out a copy of a few archived meal plans for BMP today, and I've hit #17 on the home page of Substack!
Check it out here: https://substack.com (would also appreciate any 'likes' -- the heart -- on the post as that's what helps to keep its position)
I just switched over to Substack on Thursday, and I'm convinced this is the best move I could have possibly made for BMP.
My subscriber count is still low, but I'm at 4% of my goal to 150!
Which results in $36 MRR at the moment ($432 ARR) -- pretty cool!

Interested to know your pain areas when you were using other mailing products (MailChimp primarily!) as opposed to Substack!

Mailchimp was way too costly to support my newsletter. I have an list of over 3k emails and I send out 2 weekly emails.
I also found Mailchimp's emails went to spam quite often and have never been sure of how to fix that.
Substack seems to have great deliverability, as my open rates seem better. Also Substack just offers the ease of a free & paid newsletter option, whereas Mailchimp or MailerLite didn't offer that feature. I'd have to set up a paywall if I stayed with one of them, and for me, the less I can manage, the better.-

I agree, for a start up MailChimp stumps growth quite a lot, especially if your budget is low (No backing)
Will give Substack a try though!
(I was inspired by your products story after listening to you on the podcast! Will be following your progress for sure)
