im starting from scratch again

new newsletter

15 followers on this account

no proven distribution strategy

the goal: grow @GivingRevenue from 0 → 5,000 newsletter subscribers by September 30

im going to document the experiments, numbers, mistakes and everything I try to get there

follow to see if i can actually pull it off

@danellisona couldn’t agree more. Belle Delphine made 90k in 3 days from selling her own bath water…

[Dice @builtbydice]

this. if someone disagrees, just remember that Belle Deplphine sold her bath water and made like 90k in 3 days…

You don’t need the best product

You just need the best marketing

Prove me wrong 😑

[Dice @builtbydice]

im debating whether multiple Reddit accounts actually help with distribution or just create unnecessary complexity

my current instinct is that one account with genuine history and credibility is worth more than five accounts that obviously exist to market something

thoughts?

[Dice @builtbydice]

@betweenprompts @Isaac_Dev0 rely on other platforms. for example, engage on Reddit through comments or posts people actually want to see// create an IG account and post engaging content there + plug your business or service.

hope that helps!

@buildwtim i think so. any publicity is good publicity right?

[Dice @builtbydice]

one thing I’m doing differently with IGR is building the audience before the first issue exists

the newsletter launches September 2

until then, most of my work is going into giving people a reason to care before I ask them to read anything

[Dice @builtbydice]

@dom_x98 nice! how did you get your first 100 subscribers?

[Dice @builtbydice]

current startup stack:

- @beehiiv
- @figma
- a $40 Fiverr developer
- an unreasonable subscriber target

i think every founder's dream is to find one acquisition loop that works, understand why it works, then keep compounding it

[Dice @builtbydice]

question I want to answer over the next few weeks:

how efficient is Reddit as a newsletter growth channel when maximising its usage

[Dice @builtbydice]

@marclou since ive been using X a lot more, i couldn’t agree more

[Dice @builtbydice]

@thejustinwelsh i genuinely couldn’t agree more. there’s some type of beauty in pain and suffering

[Dice @builtbydice]

@ijustvibecoded focusing on Reddit and IG distribution. ive got a bit of experience on both and in the past they both worked (with low effort) so going harder this time

[Dice @builtbydice]

my last newsletter reached 62 subscribers then i lost focus

wasn’t passionate enough about the idea and, probably more importantly, I barely promoted it

this time I’m treating distribution as part of the product from day one

[Dice @builtbydice]

@ijustvibecoded i see where you’re coming from here and can agree to an extent 🙂

[Dice @builtbydice]

@adamofk_ Nice!

[Dice @builtbydice]

the idea behind @GivingRevenue is simple:

take interesting internet businesses and figure out how they actually make money but “in-depth”

i love understanding why Duolingo, Reddit or Vinted works instead of reading another list of startup headlines

[Dice @builtbydice]

@aiwithadb never. sounds cliche but you can’t lose if you don’t give up
