It took 4 months for my newsletter to hit 100 subscribers, and just another week to double that. In celebration of this important milestone, here are 10 things I learned along the way:
01 » Write the newsletter that you would be excited to receive in your inbox.
02 » Don’t wait for validation, just start.
03 » You won’t be equally excited with every single issue, and that’s ok. Just keep shipping.
04 » You never know which content will resonate with people, so just share things that you genuinely love.
05 » No one has it all figured out.
06 » No matter how small your audience is, people are paying attention to what you're doing.
07 » Changes will not happen overnight. So just keep going, and make adjustments along the way.
08 » Writing allows you to discover what it is that you like to write about.
09 » Celebrate all victories, no matter how small they look
10 » Remember to enjoy the journey and have fun along the way!
bonus: make sure you keep track of your learnings, milestones, appreciations, and everything that inspires you to keep going!
