How to Become a Top 5% Newsletter Creator

I read this week that most newsletter creators don’t continue their newsletter after 2 issues! That is a wild number after 2 issues, they give up.

Publishing just 21 issues makes you the top 5% in the newsletter creator space, the barrier has never been lower to be in the top 5%.

How do you join the 5% club?

1/ Start a weekly newsletter - It’s easy since you can publish once a week.

2/ Get your family/friends to sign up - This will make you publish once a week since you now have people who want to see your work.

3/ Start writing - Someone gotta do it.

4/ Repeat 20x

Fun fact this issue is post 21, officially in the top 5%. How close are you toward the goal?
