Building a 10k Newsletter in Public #2

Hello everyone! This week's update on my newsletter journey brings mixed results, but every step is a learning opportunity. Here's a quick rundown:

🔹 Subscriber Growth: We added 2 new subscribers this week. While this isn't a big jump, each new member is valuable to our growing community.

🔹 Sponsorships: Securing another sponsor proved challenging this week. The first issue's sponsor felt the results were not as expected, given our starting base of 28 subscribers, which is understandable.

Despite these hurdles, I've realized the importance of a more direct approach to grow our subscriber base, especially until we hit the 100-subscriber mark. I'm planning to reach out personally through DMs and emails, using engaging copy to encourage subscriptions.

On the sponsorship front, I did extend my network on Twitter for support at $10 per issue, but the response was lukewarm, likely due to our current subscriber size. Another potential sponsor showed interest but eventually passed for the same reason. Nevertheless, I’m persistent and will continue reaching out weekly.

🎯 Next Week's Goal: I'm setting an ambitious target to reach 65 subscribers, which means about 5 new subscribers daily. It's a challenge I'm excited to take on!
