I’m taking the week off to spend some time with my family in beautiful Sardinia. So this is going to be a bit shorter than what you’re used to.
It also contains a “thank you” and my 3 favorite essays on Substack (so far).
Thank you!
Your incredible love for Getting Better is truly showing in the numbers: at the beginning of July, and in a bit less than 3 months, Getting Better has reached over 1,000 subscribers! 🥳
While I aimed to reach 1,000 readers (I prefer readers), I surely did not expect to achieve this milestone in 80 days.
What amazes me the most is not only the numbers per se, but also the incredible variety of Getting Better’s readers, with readers from 89 different countries.
It’s nothing short of amazing to think that this newsletter is read across so many geographies - Thank you!
How I got 1,000 Subscribers in 80 days 🚀
Many people have asked me to share my growth story here on Substack and through private messages. Therefore, I created this PDF detailing how I reached 1,000 subscribers in 80 days.
If you expect to get 1,000 subscribers in the next 80 days, lower your expectations - you will waste your money.
If you want to know the steps I took so you can adapt them to your experience, you are more than welcome. This might be the best money you spend today.
This is a one-time announcement, and to make sure it reaches as many people as possible, the first 30 of you can get it at a 50% discount.
My 3 favorite Substack essays
If you’re looking for some stimulating reads for a cool summer evening, these are my 3 favorite essays on Substack, so far:
About gamification and how it was supposed to change the world, but instead it is now used to addict us to apps.
A journey from laughing at nonsensical gags to appreciating more sophisticated humor as we age, revealing that while our tastes evolve, our love for laughter remains.
The shift from traditional entertainment to dopamine-driven distractions is creating a culture of addiction that undermines creativity and leads to widespread dissatisfaction and mental health issues.
