I had an interview with @cilerdemiralp on how I built a newsletter with over 5K+ subs. We talked about:
- key growth strategies I used
- how I increased my sponsorship revenue
- my learnings on paid subscription

From 2,000 to today, I mainly focused on social media.
First I grew on Instagram, and then I found success on Linkedin.
I tried to build a personal brand, connecting with potential subs and sponsors.
That’s helped me a great deal with nurturing sponsorship opportunities.

Now, I have more than 6,000 subscribers & around 100 paid members.
I told my story with more details at Newsletter Circle, a content platform for newsletter operators.

Media is interesting.
No one wants to buy advertising space.
They need to buy advertising space because they don't fully understand their target customer.
Media companies should commoditize customer understanding.
Not eyeballs.

Recent learning:
Don’t delegate tasks
Delegate outcomes.
If someone does a task 80%-99% as good as I can do it. Great.
But what if they can do it at 120% 👀

The internet's a wild place
Built an entire interactive site using Google Gemini & Claude AI in about 21 hours.
HMTL, CSS, JS
Static, some interactivity, pagination, fully responsive, menus, etc.
21 hours. Wild.
Probably take a 'real' dev about 3, but I'll take that.

Woke up to see the main publication passed 6k subscribers overnight.
nice milestone. I remember launching and getting 112 subs the first day.
When I passed 1k, I wrote a note to myself to document the feeling.
Still took me another 6m to go all in.
Next big one is 10k 😮
LFG

What a day. Been in the trenches today.
Building email campaigns and working on long term list distribution tasks.
Going to bed with unanswered emails where I know there's money < that's bad. So tomorrow those things are the priority!
