👋 Hey Ultrapeople, it’s Vaibhav.

In the last Ultraupdate, I told you about:

  • Winning Streak

  • Clear Path

  • Website Thoughts

In Today’s Issue:

  • Ultrafast scaling newsletter

  • New Newsletter Format BGW

  • Festivities

🤩 Ultrafast scaling newsletter

I have finally started scaling the newsletter and we’ve reached approximately ~8k subs.

I have not posted anything with the second substack, but is adding subscribers.

The goal now is to reach 50k by the end of November, i.e 10k per week added.

While only adding subs wont mean anything, I have to test different content pieces, compare engagements and CTRs.

These are some of the numbers however after the iOS update, there is a high chance that the open rates are not accurate, a better gauging metric is CTR for me which is 5%, which is decent enough.

I have to keep cleaning the list as we go ahead, but it pains my heart to let go of the subscribers.

New Newsletter Format BGW

I spent a lot of time on finalising the new BGW newsletter- TWOSDAY.

This will include 2 thoughts and 2 tools for AI marketing Automations.

It turned out to be really good, IMO.

Festivities

As this was the Diwali (my favourite time of the year) month, lot of my time went into gifting, family things and celebrations.

I travelled to the beautiful rural and spiritual destination - Govardhan.

I just came home few hours ago, and was sleep deprived.

However this was so refreshing. I’m excited for the week ahead.

AI-generated art is like a kindergartener's drawing: it's cute, but you're not really sure what it's supposed to be, and the kid just threw a tantrum because you didn't put it on the fridge.

Thanks for joining me on this Ultrapreneur journey! Let's build something extraordinary, exposing vulnerabilities and the obstacles we face.
