Forum highlights
Three threads from the Ferment Forum worth reading. Often: someone's failure post that turned out to be a great teaching moment.

Three to read first.

BY THE NUMBERS

It's a small list. We like it that way.

2,847 subscribers · 62% open rate · 14% click rate

Industry average for newsletters is 22% open / 2% click. Ours is 3× higher because we don't pad, don't sell, and don't auto-fire welcome sequences.

If we lose interest, we'd rather lose subscribers than lose voice. So far, neither has happened.

The only newsletter I read end-to-end. Most marketing emails get archived; yours actually changes how I cook on Sundays.
