Matt McGarry’s Post

I started The Lunch Break🍴as a daily newsletter in August 2024. But, towards the end of last year, I realized two things: 1. I was burning out trying to find and write about a new daily topic.  2. My content was all over the map because I had an aggressive content calendar to fill. So, I made some changes. I talk about this shift, my inspiration, and advice for people on the fence about starting a newsletter in my article on The 5-9 Formula. I included a link in the comments :) #morningthoughts

3 Common Newsletter Mistakes of Creators: 1. Not putting your CTA above the fold (they shouldn't have to scroll to see your CTA). 2) No P.S. section: 70% read the P.S. section first. 3) Not sharing your story: They joined for a reason, share everything. What else?

Last week, I officially started my 2025 experiment. I set up publications on three platforms I'd never used before - Beehiiv, Substack and Ghost. I'm going to be building these publications in public. In other words, I'll be sharing everything - the good, the bad and the results. * How do the platforms compare in terms of price, ease-of-use and features? * How easy or hard is it to attract subscribers (and keep them)? * How do you come up with content ideas? * How much time and effort is required to create content consistently? * How easy or hard is it to monetise your content?

Trying to cram too much information in 1 email is the quickest way to confuse a subscriber. Just keep it simple by having only one main idea. The rest of the email's content should support that main idea.

A big reason people will unsubscribe from your newsletter: 1) I subscribe to a few new cool creator's newsletters. 2) The next day I get (my regular) flood of daily emails. 3) I can't remember who the heck is sending me the email(s).. Here's how to fix it with 4 steps 👇

After the first 30 days of publishing my daily newsletter, Shots of History, here’s the number 1 thing that I’ve learned. Matt McGarry wasn’t kidding when he said that newsletters have no internal growth mechanism. What he meant was that newsletters, unlike an Instagram or Twitter account, don’t have an organic way of going viral and leading to growth on their own. Posting every day is great for the audience that I’ve currently created, but if I want to get more subscribers it means posting outside of the newsletter ecosystem. Easier say than done as I'm also trying to balance publishing daily content, but slowly starting to find a rhythm that will work for long term growth. And if you’re interested in learning more about anything newsletter related, Matt’s newsletter is an awesome place to start, along with all of the content that he post here on LinkedIn. #newsletter #growth

How do you attract more subscribers who are most likely to convert? The short answer is to offer them something irresistible at the point of sign up, and then keep them engaged with relevant, useful content that caters to their interests and your business strengths.

How do you get guest posts "right"? I don't have the answer, but I'm trying to figure it out! I want to incorporate more guests and experts into MKT1 newsletter, but don’t want to lose the strong POV and connected frameworks the newsletter is known for. Why? MKT1 Newsletter is moving from 1 to 2 posts a month, starting this month! The second each month will incorporate expert opinions or examples from the community. Thoughts on how you’d like to see me incorporate experts into the newsletter? Examples of great guest content?
