I'm Amine, an introvert indie hacker with no big audience and I just started a newsletter 😱

It's only been three days now that I started https://theintrovert.substack.com. I never had a newsletter before and I got no experience. Oh my goodness!! But how am I gonna know how to grow a newsletter if I don't start one and learn and take notes along the way, right? IS IT A REALLY GOOD IDEA TO HAVE A NEWSLETTER? So many people on Twitter (where I'm mostly active) are praising the fact of having a newsletter and how you can OWN your audience and make sure to reach 100% of your audience instead of only relying on Twitter for example where the algorithm can sometimes show your tweet to only 10% of your audience or sometimes even less. On the other hand on a newsletter, when you hit Publish the email is getting delivered to 100% of your subscribers and also I think the relationship you build with your newsletter subscribers could be STRONGER than with Twitter followers. One thing that comes to mind now is how personal it could feel to get an email in your inbox from someone you're subscribed to. You'll never miss it. Not like a tweet for example. SO WHAT WOULD MY NEWSLETTER BE ABOUT? First of all let me tell you that I don't have a specific niche. So I think this might help since I can just write about: - updates on my indie hacking life (projects I work on, feature releases, my process... ) - learnings from a podcast I listened to, a book I read... - thoughts - personal stories so people would know me better I THOUGHT ABOUT STARTING A NEWSLETTER SINCE LONG AGO... The idea of starting my own newsletter came to me like months ago but I just didn't know which platform to go with: Sendinblue, Revue, Mailchimp... and also if there is something I could use for free because I am not sure if I can use one enough times in a month so I would have to pay for a monthly subscription. Until I found recently about Substack. So I set up my account without waiting. At the time of writing this I am at 6 subscribers. One of them is only my other email to which I send my posts to make sure everything is working good. So technically I only have 5 subscribers 😅 I ALREADY PUBLISHED MY FIRST PPST YESTERDAY, WANNA READ IT? I drafted titles for 5 of my next newsletter emails but it sounded more reasonable to write my newsletter post as just an introduction about me and my newsletter's goal.
