I run 4 newsletters with 6000+ subscribers.

It has helped in marketing my startup, and growing to $3mn+ revenue.

But when I started in 2018, I had 0 online presence.

I went from 0 to 1259 subscribers. In a week. Without writing a word of content.

Full story of how I did it 🧵
1/ Deciding what to write

I had been writing software for 6 years & building products for my own startup for 3 years. I thought people might be interested to read my take on how to build tech products.

As a first, I wrote down topics for 10-12 issues of this newsletter.
2/ Getting public validation

I had no validation if people would want to read my newsletter. I didn't want to end up writing 5-10k words & not having anyone to read it.

So I put up a public post announcing that I am starting a newsletter & a glimpse of what to expect.
