Welcome back to a Live Growth Board! Super excited to see your progress! Where you get the chance to see your progress each week, ask question and be accountable. Which is the best way to grow on Susbtack and in this community too. Each Monday, we share our work, stats and progress in the classroom! It’s also a great way for me, and the community, to support and cheer each other on. Just share your update like I did below 👇 For me: Subscriber count: 1662 (previously 1600) Open rate: 20% (previously 22%) Notes published: 22 (previously 21) Growth comments: 280 ( Working on AI right now to facilitate this process!) Classroom work: I created the new 10k Subsatck Roadmap, giving you a clear path based on your goals (after analyzing 10+ writers with 5k susbcribers or more! Try it out by clicking on the link!) More information about this coming soon!🤩 What's your progress this week?😁 (Don't foegt to share your progress with the classroom!)

Every Sunday, we do a little Q&A day inside the community! Because honestly… most creators stay stuck on small problems for way too long when one good conversation could solve it in 10 minutes. So today, ask me anything 👀 - newsletter growth - getting subscribers - comments/networking - content ideas - consistency - setup/bio - monetization - or just anything funny or to connect (don't mind making friends haha) And if there’s already a lesson, framework, or resource inside the classroom that can help you, I’ll point you to it too 🙌 No question is “too basic” here. We’re all trying to improve together and make real progress each week. So… what’s ONE thing you’ve been struggling with recently? 👇

Okay, I'm calling this a "win" because anytime you learn something or gain clarity in a particular area...it's a win! I honestly did not think I would get through the "Building Strong Research" section in Module 2. My eyes sort of glazed over it when I first read through it. But, on Saturday, I went to a Panera Bread around 7am and completed the exercise; I was there until about 12 noon but I got through it. I dumped all the research into ChatGPT and the insight I got back was eye-opening. I'm glad to say that the new framework I created for my newsletter about a month ago is already on the right path; but this research definitely helped me to see where I need to focus my writing better and the gap that I could possibly fill within my niche. Very helpful!

Let’s do something a little different today. We talk a lot about growth, newsletters, and Substack in here… But I also want this community to actually feel human and fun, not just “growth!growth!growth!" So today: Share ONE fun fact about yourself to connect and smile a little👇 Could be: - your job outside Substack - a hobby - your favorite animal - what you want to do this summer - something random about your life - or even something surprising about your writing journey For example: 4 years ago, I honestly didn’t even like writing. I thought it was terrible. Funny to think that now I want to build my whole life around it haha Curious to know more about everyone in here!
