Building my newsletter in public #2

Asking for testimonial

Hey, Anirban, this side.

I upskilled myself with some newsletter growth strategies.

Alright, today I am applying the strategy of Eddie Shleyner.

Eddie shares video testimonials, Short clips from real people sharing their experiences.

It increases the trust and pushes people to subscribe more.

But, unfortunately, I don’t have any testimonials.

So, I am sending an email and asking for it.

• It will help me grow quickly.

• It will add proof of quality.

• Also, it will help me reach a “different” audience.

Let me email them, wait for a minute.

Well, I am done, here it is.

I will let you know tomorrow if I receive any replies.
