500 email subscribers in the first year seems to be impossible – at least from my experience. For 500, I would need a big shoutout on X or from big-name authors. For organic growth, which is somewhat controllable, getting 50 subscribers in the first year might be a more realistic goal.

I’ve been using WordPress. It’s easy to set up and use. I’m not a fan of the text editor, though. It’s way too clunky and convoluted since they changed it a couple of years ago from the basic version they started with.

I still call it the most beginner-friendly CMS, though.

Just write in a word processor and then import your text into WordPress. You still have a few formatting issues to address, but it’s much less hassle than writing in WordPress directly.
