AWS (our web hosting provider) has apparently found the cause of the outage and are actively working on finding a solution. Hopefully it will be resolved soon! 👍
Hey all! Our hosting company is having a bunch of issues which is causing downtime for Upscribe. Working hard to get it back up! Will post updates here 😖
On our latest podcast episode we had maker and bootstrapper @joshuaanderton on to talk about:
• How he started and got traction for @upscribe
• How he balances being a founder and a father
• Why managing your mental health is key as a creator

What can you use to incentivize people to subscribe to your newsletter?
Subscribing is a commitment.
What do people get from you _today_ for making that commitment?

Step 3:
People don't like signing up for newsletters. Especially when they're on Instagram on their phone.
So give them something better to sign up for...

Reasons why your emails go to spam (ranked):
1) Domain isn't warm enough
2) Emailing your entire list over a prolonged period of time
3) Using spam trigger words
4) Emailing inactive subs
5) Clickbait subject lines
Fix these and win.
Based on my own data,
When to send emails:
- Tuesday (best click-through rates)
- Thursday (best open rates)
- Wednesday (low unsubscribe rate)
These are very general rules of thumb.
But every audience is different.
It's up to you to find out yours.
