10 Subscribers: Breakdown, Lessons Learnt, ...
by Toheeb OgunbiyiA few days back, I created a bi-weekly newsletter with Revue to help Makers like myself Learn, and Get Results. I shared it on a little accountability group I'm in and launched that on MakerLog.
The result is 1 subscriber (from the group).
Next, I designed the landing page, shared it on MakerLog, Indie Hackers, and the group.
I got:
- 68 visits to the website
- 9 more subscribers. 1 from the group, and the rest from both IH and ML.
- 6 feedbacks - 1 on copywriting, 1 on engagement, and the rest are compliments of a good design.
That means the page converted at 14℅. Bad? Fair? Good? I'm just happy I have a waitlist to send the first issue to.
I learned something from the above - A good design is a way to build trust in your offer. If you can invest in this, good! I made the design myself so it cost me $0 from my pocket. (Will talk about my setup later)
Next...
- I was convinced of simplifying the description and I did that: 4 lists turned 2.
- Another feedback I'll try is sending an outline to subscribers so the guide can be tailored to their specific needs.
