Strangeness in the Substack subscriber numbers
They have been going up down up down in an odd fashion so I decided to document them.
The following 4 screenshots were all taken since 10:14 pm last night and are in chronological order. The 4th screenshot ends at 4:30 this afternoon. Are the numbers being beaten down? This has been a common pattern lately.
I thought I would add another screenshot. According to these numbers, I lost 35 subscribers this afternoon, but gained 15 paid subs today.
Totals dropping, paid increasing. With 89,000 visits today I have lost 60 subscribers!
Actually, I had hoped that by sending emails with titles, readers could choose what not to open. I have never sent so many as today. I agree it seems excessive, yet a large number of people open them, leading me to think most appreciate the titles allowing them to choose.
Small fluctuations whether real or not. You should have 20M reading. It's a long road but even if only 20K and they each influence 1 or 2 then the idea grows exponentially. Important thing is to live and practice the idea, then it gathers power as well as numbers.
