Great transparent write up! I am still in phase one too. But it is gently moving along. Over a year now but it took me a while to find my groove! Happy Monday!
Thank you Lisa! Please do, I am enjoying your marketing content. I do think it can sometimes take marketing and really business content in general a bit longer here to gain traction. I think most people are here for stories and great writing. I am trying to do a better job of weaving storytelling into my content, Neela does an amazing job with this. Thanks for reading and commenting, let's stick with it!
Thanks, Mack. I enjoyed the backstage pass and view your numbers. I wonder what the graph dips are. Any idea? I'm going through a big dip and wonder why 😂 great prediction; I think it differs for all. I seemed to be cursed and joyed by the number 600. As soon as I get past it, I have a dip 😂
Hey Jana, dips in subscribers? If that's what you mean, mine are from unsubs and I assume most of those are from the members of the list I imported from Mailchimp back in May. I should actually start checking into that more. I still get 1-2 unsubs after every new issue goes out. My guess is someone sees it in their inbox for the first time in a while, forgot they were subbed and decide to unsub. Thanks for reading, you will fly past 600 soon!
Hey bro, it looks like you're really digging into the nitty-gritty of your Substack journey. Four months in, and you're already tracking metrics like a pro. You are so good at this stuff.
Your numbers are heading in the right direction, even if it feels slow. Slow and steady! That bump in open rates after offering the trial period? Clever move. And don't sweat the imported list too much – it's all about where you go from here. The best part about this is your mindset Mack.
You are staying flexible. Thank you for putting this together.
Thank you Neela! Well at least everyone said get ready for the slog, so at least I was prepared for it LOL Hopefully can get out of it by the end of the year. Happy Thursday!
Always love the insights Mack! Thanks for sharing your learnings. 🙌
