Building on Beehiiv: Week 4

Building on Beehiiv: Week 4

You know those dreams where you’re running?

You’re furiously pumping your arms and moving your legs, but you don’t move.?

That’s what this week felt like with The Lunch Break??

I mean, it was nowhere near as frustrating as those dreams but, it was more about the idea of putting in effort and not getting results.

I have to admit, I LOVE writing these newsletters.

It’s a nice outlet for me to do two things I love - write and talk about marketing and business.

But, I guess as the popular saying goes, "slow and steady wins the race."

This week’s stats:

  • 0 new followers (There are plenty of spots at my table. Join me!)
  • 1 Unsubscribe. The first unsubscribe loomed over me, so I was weirdly excited it happened. Honestly, it’s my first test of not taking things personally with this newsletter.
  • 4 emails // 53.66% open rate // 3.41% CTR
  • Best open rate: 5 things to check before sending an email (58.54%)
  • Best CTR: Comments are content (4.76%)

Notes from the week:

  • I received two nice messages about my newsletter so that was super cool!
  • I need to find a way to promote the newsletter on social media without going overboard. It’s a delicate balance of getting the name out there without overdoing it so that people get sick of it and tune me out. Any tips are welcomed :)
  • I’ve been thinking about my content and how to keep people interested and excited about the daily email. I’m wondering if I need to provide more tactical tips. Something that people can take and apply to their world.?
  • I love Beehiiv. It’s incredibly user-friendly, and I love the educational content they offer—it's super helpful. I feel like it’s the perfect platform for someone (like me) who’s creating a newsletter from scratch.?
  • I’m creating a LinkedIn guide that I'll share in an upcoming email. Stay tuned and subscribe if you haven't already!

Maria Marchewka I've been enjoying your newsletters with relatable content and actionable tips for marketing and business. You provide valuable insights, and still keep it personal. Have you noticed more engagement in the comments section here from the topics in your newsletter? I enjoy being part of the community you're building and seeing how you're using both platforms to educate and serve.
