Another insightful post Mack. I’m still in phase one with around 30 new subs per month. However, I have also had a few unsubscribers. Open rate seems to be going down as subscribers increase. It’s a marathon not a sprint ✨

Good morning Hege, thank you for commenting! Happy to be on this journey with you! My open rate is falling as well, but I think it’s mostly because as I add more Substack users as subscribers, they are reading posts in the app and on the website, and I don’t think that counts as an ‘open’ like reading it via email. At least that’s what I’ve noticed from my own subs.

Likewise Mack! That’s probably true! In that case it’s not so bad at all ✨

Similiar to Melissa I sometimes don't posts read immediately. Also, I took October off. I learn from your articles though. I am not sure I will ever make Stage two in your research. 😬

Thank you Sharon! It's good to take a break sometimes, hope you had a good October. Yes you will make it to Stage Two, probably before I do!

If I keep making typos I might not be even able to call myself a writer!! I had a great October.
