10,000 users & 1,000 sales

Today we reached 10,000 users and 1,000 sales! Absolutely incredible and so humbling to have reached and helped this many people.

This was hugely helped by being recommended in this newsletter with 28k subs last night which resulted in these insane stats:

Direct referrals:
👀 624 visitors
☀️ 271 signups (43%)
🦄 24 sales (8% of signups or 3% visit to sale)

Also:
📧 6,521 unsubscribes
🔍 1.93 million emails scanned
💫 $252.95

We hope to continue growing, you can always see all our stats on our open page!

    That's so awesome! 🙌🏼Looks like newsletters, although old school, still can serve a purpose.

    1. 1

      There are good newsletters out there! Leave Me Alone may be a tool to help get rid of them, but we are only helping people clear out the ones they don't want or don't read. Clearly the Recomendo newsletter is high quality and read by most of it's recipients!

      1. 2

        Totally agree. LMA seems like a solid tool that solves a real need! Look forward to seeing you guys scale up.

    Thanks for sharing the precise statistics. These are sometimes more telling than a ton of words.
    What is your plan for the future? Any updates incoming, or maybe you're planning to test other marketing channels?

    1. 2

      I know exactly what you mean! I love a good stats post ☺️

      We are gearing up to launch version 2 of Leave Me Alone next week actually! We're going to be live streaming the launch from Bali and having other makers and indie hackers on to talk about their products or just have a chat 😇.

      After that we have more plans towards our mission to stop people subscribing to unwanted mail in the first place. You can see some more on our about page if you're interested!

      Our Achilles heel is marketing but we are working on it; reaching out to journalists, blog posting, sharing on social media. Hopefully we'll find something that takes off 😅

      1. 1

        Well, keeping in mind the stats you shared the Achilles heel sure looks pretty protected 😃

    Nice one @dinkydani! Congrats. Amazing what one newsletter can do!

    1. 1

      Yup! We saw another boost yesterday around 7-8am San Fran time as everyone opened it Monday morning. So exciting!! The thing that makes me happiest is that visitors means conversions - we just need more press/marketing and people will pay!

      1. 1

        Yeah, good point. 43% conversion is ridiculous come to think of it. Bravo!
        If only there was an easy way to get press! Marketing you could try some ads maybe. Experiment with $20

        1. 1

          Thanks! The newsletter brought really high quality traffic tbh :D

          We will be doing some sort of marketing at some point. Unfortunately $20 doesn't go far haha. We'll probably look for newsletters to sponsor!

    Really good design Danielle - congrats on the stats.

    1. 1

      Thank you! Most of the design credit goes to my partner @jivings 😇

      1. 1

        He certainly has a very good eye for it :)

    Congrats, Danielle!

    Great Job! Why all the pink tho! :)

    1. 1

      Thank you! Nothing wrong with bit of pink ☺️

    I think if you want explosive growth then you should try guestposting.

    1. 1

      Do you have any recommendations?
      I've done one for blog.metomic.io and they did one in return which went down well :)

      1. 1

        I am currently building a Guestposting tool that will allow you to find sites that accepts articles. www.wuztr.com.

    @dinkydani, I'm sure you might already be aware of this but your site is giving a 502.

    1. 2

      😱 thank you for letting me know, all fixed now!
