For over a year I've been running the weekly career newsletter title 3-Minute Read for my career brand, Find Fulfilling Work.
Statistics: 4000 subscribers as of June 2023 and an average open rate of 50%.
🔍 My Approach
I keep the email newsletter short and simple which is easy on both the creator and reader (win win!).
The email newsletter is just one part of the funnel—and I take the whole funnel into account.
This mean that the content where followers find me, to the email signup incentive, to the content in the newsletter, are all consistent.

⚒️ Tools Used
