8K subscribers & 150 articles!

It's interesting to see how much my growth has slowed down in the past few months. I attribute this to the lack of articles on the front page of Hacker News, which were skewing my results. Now, the growth is slower but much more predictable. At this rate, I should reach 10K subscribers in the next few months.

Another milestone is 150 articles, which I'm much prouder about, as it's a results of my consistency and passion for the topics I write about. Much of the themes I cover are applied in the way I work and manage my time, and I'm excited to see it pay off.

Next: the very first IRL meetup with Maker Mind's subscribers, which will happen next week! It's going to be one of the first experiments I conduct to turn the newsletter into a proper community.

    Great example of consistency. I always see you getting tons of engagement on twitter as well.

    Do you have plans for future growth beyond more of the same (which seems to work for you)?

      Thank you! The main thing is add a referral system so my current subscribers can help me grow. I think that would help a lot.

    Congrats Anne-Laure

    Have you started promoting the meetup yet? I didn't see it in the newsletter?

      Thanks Harry! And yes I promoted it in the newsletter a few weeks ago, but had to close the applications quite quickly as it got full in a couple hours. I'll do another one next month!

    Well done! Do you know why there has been a change in appearing on front page of HN? Cool that you continue to see growth through your own channel though, congrats

      Thank you! To be honest, I think I got extremely lucky in the first place to be featured on the homepage so many times. Still haven't figured the magic formula 😁

    Congrats @anthilemoon! What do you think was most helpful in growing your newsletter in the beginning? :)

      Thank you! Twitter was definitely my biggest growth channel - and still is :)
