Created A Slack Community. Potential Better Way for Subscriber Growth?
Hi everyone,
As some of you may know by now, I have a newsletter called Modern InvenTech, posting weekly on exciting modern innovations in technology, some of which make it to the news.
I've tried a lot of different ways to gain subscribers, such as Reddit, LinkedIn, launching websites like InboxReads, Sparkloop for recommendations, the Top 4 on Beehiiv, and Beehiiv's boosts. I'm still in the process of getting my first 100 subscribers. Still trying almost two months in.
The Main Point: I realized that opening a Slack workspace would create a sense of special community that people would tend to join more than subscribing to a newsletter. The community will be attached to my newsletter, and I'll write about updates and everything else on there. You don't have to subscribe, but you'll be part of the community.
Other newsletter writers are more than welcome, and their support and feedback would be much appreciated.
