🗓️ Happy Saturday

Hola!

I’m still in the beautiful country of El Salvador, enjoying writing this week’s newsletter issue here.

This week’s issue concerns surveys and how I wished I had started doing this earlier for my newsletter.

DEEP DIVE

Are You Doing This?

I wish I had done this earlier when starting a newsletter.

Checking my survey I have readers fill out.

It’s filled with so much great information.

Checking it I can see where in the journey the person is, and what they are hoping to learn from me.

Example: In my stats, I can see 98% of people subscribed have less than 100 subscribers.

This tells me what type of content I can create for the reader, and also tells me they are early in their newsletter journey.

If you don’t have a survey, you should create a simple one. Start collecting more info on your subscriber.

This will help you not only know a bit more about your subscriber but also what type of content to write about.

Here are a few questions you can add to your survey for your newsletter.

• What do they do?

• Why did they subscribe?

• What are they hoping to learn?

These questions are a great starting point to get a bit more info.

How long is your beehiiv newsletter streak? reply with a screenshot.
