3 milestones
Choose a topic niche, define your newsletter's unique angle, and publish twelve issues over at least twelve weeks. Each issue must be a complete, standalone piece of writing — not a link digest or a sentence of commentary on others' content. Grow to at least 100 subscribers before milestone 2.
Proof required
Submit: links to twelve published newsletter issues (hosted on Substack, Ghost, Buttondown, or equivalent); proof of publication dates spanning at least twelve weeks; and a screenshot of your subscriber dashboard showing at least 100 subscribers.
What gets checked
- Twelve complete issues are published across at least twelve weeks — not twelve issues published in rapid succession
- Each issue is original writing of at least 400 words — not a link digest or a brief comment on others' content
- Subscriber dashboard shows at least 100 subscribers — not just email contacts you imported
