Hello! Thanks for this. I have a quick question - what do you do when you don’t have testimonies? Ask people you know to do it/join and to add? Or how do you build it up from 0.
I feel like a lot of content and learning revolves around point 0 or 10 steps ahead - but what about those awkward first few steps where you haven’t established yourself because you just started. You know?
And also, manually reach out to engaged subscribers (whether free or paid) and ask them if they want to write a short testimonial that you can feature on your Substack.
Are you able to articulate why your readers would be interested in your exclusive content in particular? I'm assuming that yours isn't the only publication on that topic, so it's important to highlight what exactly you're doing differently and why they should invest in you in particular.

Yeah start by asking people you know!

I think I need to focus on the convert section
That’s definitely the part that feels most challenging to many writers! What are you currently doing to convert your readers? :)
Weekly meetings portfolio updates and exclusive content

Did you ever see investing being talked about in an easy to understand way AND funny?
Peace love light
Hi Jari.
This was all great information presented in an easy-to-read, easy-to-digest format.

I appreciate all the work that you do.
