How do you keep paying members showing up?

AI-generated illustrative avatarSophie RichterFitness Coach · paid newsletterGermanyEarly Revenue·1h ago01

I run a paid newsletter for runners — 60-odd subscribers, €9/month. The first month is great, then it falls off a cliff. I've tried a weekly Q&A call but only 3-4 people ever come, so I stopped. I need to replace my freelance income by summer, so every churn hurts. Anyone got something that actually works for a small list?

CONTEXT AT PUBLICATION

What a useful answer should help achieve

A concrete tactic to keep members engaged past month one without burning more of my time.

Already tried

Weekly Q&A call — low attendance, stopped it.

Constraints and unknowns

Only 60 subscribers at €9, so time spent per member has to stay low.
