## Prompt

```text
Build a 90-day subscriber growth plan for my newsletter. This is step 4 of a newsletter launch pack; it works on its own, but paste your promise and signup page from earlier steps if you have them.

**Newsletter and reader:** [DETAILS]
**Current subscribers and weekly growth:** [NUMBERS]
**Where subscribers come from now:** [e.g. LinkedIn, website, word of mouth]
**Assets I have:** [social following, website traffic, podcast, community, email list from my business]
**Budget:** [$0 / AMOUNT for paid acquisition]
**Hours per week for growth:** [HOURS]
**90-day target:** [NUMBER or "help me set one"]

Evaluate these levers for my situation, and pick the 3 with the best return for my stage:
- Signup points on every owned channel (bio links, site, email signature, post endings).
- Social content that gives a taste and points to the full issue.
- Newsletter cross-promotions and recommendation swaps with similar-sized newsletters.
- A reader referral program (simple rewards; what tier makes sense at my size).
- A lead magnet tied directly to the newsletter topic.
- Guest posts, podcast appearances, and community participation.
- Paid acquisition: only if my numbers suggest subscribers will be worth the cost.

Return:
1. The 3 chosen levers and why the others wait.
2. A week-by-week plan with specific actions.
3. A swap-request message I can send to other newsletter writers.
4. Metrics to track weekly (new subs by source, unsub rate, open/click quality).

Don't promise growth numbers; give a realistic range only if my data supports it.
