Thoughts:
I was incredibly busy this month. I moved states (NC to FL), and it was all I could do to keep up with the newsletter. The fact that the conversion rate is increasing is amazing, but it did mask a decline of new people I was able to reach.
The goal for August was to expand out to try a number of new channels, but due to the tight schedule I had to put that on hold, for the most part.
Based on that, here are my goals for August:
-
Get conversion rate to 12.5% (which would be double my original conversion rate from the start of the project)
-
Explore the following channels: Referral program, podcasts, SEO, and content marketing.

Thanks! Word of mouth, Twitter, IH, some newsletter sponsorships, some podcasts, some referrals!
I currently have a grab bag of channels I'm investigating to see what drives the best results. I'll have more clear answer on this over the coming months!

Thanks! We'll find out what the real numbers look like this month, when people's subscriptions are up for renewal.
Still, looks promising so far!
