Do you have any data around what paid mediums tend to work best for acquiring newsletter subs? My sense is that generally speaking paying another larger newsletter with a similar target audience is better than a Facebook Ad.

Thank you, Reid. Every time I read one of your Growth Croissant articles, I feel more ambitious about my goals as a Substack writer. I'd thought vaguely about trying out some advertising this summer, but this really helps me clarify my thinking about it.
