I launched my Substack newsletter just recently, on April 24, 2024.

And I’m so humbled by the significant progress I made in less than one month.

I already have over 70 subscribers and I even welcomed my first paid subscriber.

I know, it’s insane.

Knowing that someone values my writing enough to pay for it, is just…

So. Incredibly. Motivating.

I also gained 128 followers and I have an open rate of 56.19%, which is actually pretty good since the average open rate for Substack newsletters is around 50%.
