I hit 3,000 (ish) newsletter subscribers 🥲
To be honest, getting to this number took So. Much. Time.
I launched Internetly in March (?) of 2021. That’s over 1,300 days (195 weeks) of maintenance.
Two notes:
1) The first version of Internetly looks nothing like how it does today. That’s okay. Creations are like pottery–they exist as a slab of clay, and must spin (i.e. exist!) before you can shape them into their final form.
2) I had periods where I sent a newsletter every week. I also had periods where I sent nothing for months. Again, this is okay. The goal isn’t necessarily consistency as it is playing the long-game. Pauses are required to achieve the latter.
After nearly four years, I’m just now starting to see the compounding effects of the newsletter.
All this to say: Building takes time. :)
