I just crossed a MASSIVE milestone of 10,000 newsletter subscribers for my newsletter - Startups.fyi.

It's now at 10,049 subscribers with a ~50% average open rate and 20% average click rate.

What's worked for me:

- Launching on Product Hunt, BetaList and other directories. - Posting on various sub-reddits - My personal Twitter (this is a big one) - Launching other side projects to promote it - Cross promotions with other newsletters - Word of mouth

What I haven't really tried (or hasn't worked)

- Sharing on Linkedin, Medium, Quora etc. - Posting on Indie Hackers

I'm still buzzing from this and never thought I'd get to 10k so soon. I know there are some who grow way faster (it took me ~6mo after pivot) but I'm extremely happy with the progress it's made and excited for what the future holds.
