Hey, it's Tre from Akari Social

let’s be real if your newsletter isn’t growing, it’s not because you’re cursed by the algorithm gods. it’s because no one knows it exists.

and the truth? most founders spend 90% of their energy on writing the email… and 0% on getting new people to read it.

here’s how we fix that:

your content isn’t pulling weight if you’re not posting weekly on at least one platform, you’re invisible. harsh, but true.

growth = free attention → turned into email subs → turned into buyers.

so post:

  • personal stuff (what you’re building, why it matters)
  • email teardowns
  • hot takes
  • quick frameworks
  • client wins

you’re not a “content creator,” cool. neither am i. you’re just giving people a reason to care.

your lead magnet is weak “subscribe to my newsletter” isn’t a reason. it’s a whisper in a noisy room.

give me:

  • a checklist
  • a teardown
  • a mini-course
  • a swipe file
  • a promise

bonus points: if it solves a very specific problem. ex: “Steal our onboarding email that got 60% open rates.” that’s real. that gets clicks.

you don’t have a funnel you’re posting. people are seeing it. then what?

if you don’t have a landing page that looks good and converts, they bounce.

if you don’t have an automation that welcomes them in, they forget.

if you don’t follow up with value + soft pitches, you’re just giving out free game for fun.

we build email systems that solve this. you should too.

no one’s talking about your stuff you don’t grow alone. you grow in public with people.

repost your newsletter on LinkedIn and tag 2 people

ask a founder to quote-tweet your email

drop in communities with value (not pitch-slapping)

ask for feedback, not just subs

email grows when people talk about it. give them a reason to.

fix these this week. or keep wondering why you’re stuck at 212 subscribers forever.

if you want us to help you build the system that actually grows your list and turns it into money… you know where to find me.
