☀️ Good Morning Newsies,

How do I get to 100 subscribers? 

That is the most asked question I get from my welcome email.

And today is your lucky day because today I will share how I did it, and how you can too!

First, it won’t be easy but if you follow these steps you will get there.

1/ Family & Friends: The first 5- 10 subscribers are going to be your family and friends who will support you because they want to and have to 😆 .

It’s how I was able to start, I shared it with them and told them to sign up.

2/Email Signature: If you send emails every day to your clients/customers. Add your newsletter to your email signature, you might be surprised at how many subs you get from that small move.

3/ Engage on X: If you're just publishing and not engaging you're not going to get noticed.

Follow people in the space your newsletter is about and start engaging with them. At the start I would engage with 50 creators on X, now I think I engage with 100 per day. You gotta put in the work on X to get noticed. Once you start people will start to check you out and if you have your newsletter in your bio they might even subscribe!

It’s probably the same on Linkedin can only write about X since it’s what I am focused on at the moment.

4/ Building in Public: This is probably one of my favorite ways to grow a newsletter on X. Share the behind-the-scenes of your newsletter.

It can be sharing your stats, or a photo of you writing your newsletter.

People who follow you will start to be invested in your journey, and this will help to get your newsletter noticed.

5/ Share Shamelessly: How are people going to know about your newsletter if you don’t plug your newsletter everywhere?

6/ Be Consistent: At the end of the day you need to be consistent. If you want to grow your newsletter you will need to show up every day.

How else do you expect to grow your newsletter? if you are not consistent.

Before I forget I am about to release my first newsletter course. 😁
