π We need your help - you get Optimist's Edge
Help us grow. Get Optimist's Edge back. 70% discount on Premium Supporter for the first year. Only valid until the end of the week.
Our successes and my failures
A month ago, I wrote about our successes and my failures.
- We are world-class when it comes to subscriber engagement.
- A large proportion have chosen to become paying members (Premium Supporters.)
- We have attracted some of the world's leading thinkers as writers and paying members (such as Kevin Kelly and Steven Pinker.)
- But we have not broken through, not achieved global recognition.
That is why we decided to focus! My days would be spent writing and spreading Warp's mission.
Results so far?
- The number of readers is up 47 percent and 11 percent for Sweden and international (compared to the same period in February.)
- Our news has been shared in several other media outlets.
This is thanks to us having more time to create our own news and the launch of our AI bot, WALL-Y.
