What tactics for telling people about your product worked best? Is there a best day and time in your opinion to send newsletter? How are you monetizing your newsletter - Affiliate links, paid subscribers, sponsorship? Thanks!

@mark_hinkle Hey Mark, thank you for your comment! Great questions.
I've experimented a lot on the copy to describe the value proposition and have a good conversion on the landing pages and promotions. So I'd recommend making a lot of mini-experiments (by changing one parameter at a time) and tracking the results.
As an example, removing the archive from the landing page increased the conversion by 5-6%. And all these little improvements make a big difference in the long term.
The best day and time would depend on your audience. But I'd suggest avoiding Friday and Saturday afternoons and evenings. It makes a 3-4% (negative) difference in the open rates.
Besides that, the day doesn't matter so much to me. As it's long-form content, I realized some readers even save it and read it much later when they have time.
And for monetization, I have a mix of everything: paid subscriptions, affiliates, and sponsorships (just started). I'm planning to focus on increasing the sponsorship revenue in the upcoming months.
Thanks again!
@mark_hinkle You're welcome, Mark! And if you have any other questions, feel free to DM me on Twitter.
