Crossed 2,000 subscribers. Opening paid sponsorship slots next week — two brands already in my DMs.

Day 3🏆 First viral moment
$0 MRR1240 users6/4/2026

A mid-size creator shared issue #4. 400 signups in 36 hours. Lesson: one good share beats a month of consistency hacks.

Day 2
$0 MRR380 users5/29/2026

Cross-post experiment: turned each issue into an X thread and a LinkedIn post with AI repurposing. LinkedIn drove 6x more signups than X.

Day 1🏆 First issue
$0 MRR47 users5/22/2026

Issue #1 sent to 47 friends and ex-clients. Open rate 71% — small list, warm audience. The bar only goes down from here 😅
