Hit 3,000 email subscribers

Email list growth is still chugging along, slow but steady.

Our open rate remains at 53% and click rate at 5%. That makes the slow growth worth it!

We've been experimenting with our first paid growth through SparkLoop's partner program, which helped us acquire a few dozen new subs at $7/each.

      They have several programs, but one of them lets you choose a price (I chose $7/subscriber) and make it available to other newsletter operators. They then promote your newsletter and pay you for each subscriber they send. They're piloting it as a new program right now. I'm impressed!
