Expanding Newsletter Subscriptions on the HackerNoon App

Just as you can connect with your favorite contributors, other readers who appreciate your work can subscribe to your auto-generated newsletter.


Here are some strategies to expand your mailing list and engage with your readers:

  • Publicize your newsletter on social media, within your articles, and in your author bio. Inform your readers about what to expect from your newsletter and why they should subscribe.


  • Provide exclusive content to your subscribers as an incentive to sign up - if your HackerNoon content is unique, share it!

  • Maintain consistent content and a regular schedule so your subscribers always have fresh stories to read.

  • Encourage your readers to interact with you by requesting their feedback and suggestions for future articles. This will help you build a dedicated following and cater to your readers' preferred content.

Good luck!
