Get your first 50 subscribers
for your Author Site

A few simple steps to kickstart your subscriber base

Building your initial subscriber base is an exciting journey, and this resource will provide you with simple and valuable insights to acquire your first 50 subscribers. We are assuming that you have completely setup your website by now.

Step 1: Spread the Word about your Site

  • Start by telling everyone you know about your Website. Don’t be shy, share the news with your friends, coworkers, and acquaintances.
  • Send emails to individuals from your personal account.
  • Mention your Site during conversations, lunches, and whenever you meet someone new.
  • Make your Site easily discoverable by including the URL in your email signature, personal website, and bio on your social media profiles.

Step 2: Leverage Social Media

  • Post about your presence on Short Story Lovers on platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or any other platforms you're active on.
  • Create a pinned tweet or a prominent post about your Author Site, explaining what it offers and why your followers would enjoy it.
  • Share excerpts and insights from your stories to engage your audience.

Step 3: Be Consistent and Authentic

  • Establish a regular writing schedule that you can comfortably maintain. Whether you choose to publish daily or weekly the key is consistency.
  • Maintaining a consistent publishing schedule (Particular Day/ Time) reassures readers that you're active and committed to your Site.
  • Don't be afraid to infuse your personality into your writing. Your readers subscribe to hear your unique voice and perspective, so let your individuality shine through.

Remember, your initial 50 subscribers can, and ideally should, come from your own connections. However, simply informing them once won't suffice; you'll need to remind them repeatedly.

With each new subscriber, you amplify the possibility of them sharing your content with their circle, potentially gaining even more readers and signups. Stay persistent and patient in your efforts!
