@Sinem Günel , @Philip Hofmacher , @Jari Roomer - I love the fact that you have 3 of you to support one another while you support other writers/creators. As mentioned very meta in a good way in my way of thinking about things. I also appreciate that you lay out your process and thinking along the way so others can learn and grow as you continue to. Looks like a great model to me.

Thanks for sharing. Well worth the read.

Such generous sharing and easy to implement strategy. Thank you.

It did make me laugh that your subtitle is over the picture of the three of you ;)

I'm $5 away from my first 1k gross annualized revenue with only 141 total subscribers. I've done a good job of converting with my premium trade ideas, but I need to attract more free subscribers who could potentially convert.

Sinem Günel's avatar

That sounds great, Jeremy! Did you already cross the 1k? :) How have you been attracting free subscribers so far?

Jeremy Mortis's avatar

Yes, about 1.4K. I had less than 200 at the crossover. However, conversion has stalled.

That's amazing! I plan to try some of this advice. Thank you for breaking it out week-by-week.

How many hours per day would you say you spent growing your Substack? (By which I mean, non-writing activities.)

This is a great overview for people just starting on Substack! Thanks!

Merhaba Sinem yazını okurken heyecan duydum. Daha fazla yazmam gerektiğini bir kez daha anladım. Bunu yaptığımda benim hedef kitlem beni bulacak?! Doğru mu anladım? Elbette ne yazdığımı ve kimlere yazdığımı biliyorum.
