I'm building a newsletter called Tech Talks Weekly[1] where my subscribers get one email per week with all the latest Software Engineering conference talks and podcasts[1].

I originally built it for myself because I was subscribed to too many conference channels on YouTube and things started getting messy, so I wrote a script to fetch the new talks automatically and send myself an email once a week. Eventually, I turned it into a newsletter.

I currently have over 7,600 subscribers with email open rate consistently between 32%-35%, although I plan to trim the list soon to get into the 40-50% range.

How did you get to this many subscribers? Where and how do you promote? Or is it all organic?
I've posted a few viral compilations, like this one[1], which have driven hundreds of new subscribers to the list. The rest is mainly coming through the word of mouth.
