Looking for new subscribers? Try Steady recommendations

Hey there, 

Curious about your newsletter's performance? Take a moment to explore your Steady dashboard if you haven't recently—you might discover some exciting developments. Welcome to your Steady Growth Newsletter, the go-to resource for mastering the membership landscape. It’s been two months since we launched our new recommendations feature. Today, let's take a quick look at how Steady newsletters are doing post-launch (plus we’ll dive into some product hacks).

Subscribers Growing Like Never Before

Finding new audiences is a challenge for media makers, yet our new recommendation engine leverages the Steady network to unprecedented effect. On average, recommendations drive 20% of new newsletter subscriptions, with some reaching even higher gains. In our April issue (Öffnet in neuem Fenster), we featured Treibhauspos (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) and its 71% growth in subscribers. Today, let's look at another creator maximizing their potential.

For nearly a decade, Übermedien (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) has stood as a beacon of trusted fact-checking in Germany, supported by community funds and hosted on Steady. Since the recommendation feature's launch, they've seen a 24% increase in subscribers. Alexander Graf, CEO of Übermedien, shares:

The newsletter is an important channel for us to reach potential members. It is all the more helpful that Steady now also takes care of the growth of the readership numbers. This platform relieves us of work so that we can focus on our content - and the effect is clearly visible.
