Not gonna sugarcoat it - January's revenue ($137.95) isn't breaking any records. But here's the thing: I've been laying groundwork that could pay off big time.
Been exploring some interesting alternatives to beehiiv ads:

โข PassionFroot - Profile's up and running. No bites yet, but fingers crossed!
โข Wellput - This one's got me excited. Why? Can use both Substack and beehiiv newsletters, plus better tracking. Feels promising.

โข PartnerStack - Found some solid affiliate partnerships here. Looking forward to seeing how these play out.
โข SparkLoop - My beehiiv boost alternative. Haven't pulled the trigger yet - want to compare payout rates first.๐ก Revenue Streams in Progress

My smartleads emailer is bringing in some interesting queries. While we haven't closed any deals yet, I'm confident about landing 1-2 companies in the next couple months.
Plus, I'm staying disciplined with LinkedIn - 30 connection requests daily. It's a slow burn, but consistency is key here.
Not the explosive growth month I'd dreamed of, but sometimes you need to plant seeds before you can harvest. February's looking promising!
