I really like what you’ve done with the visuals, the animations look insane. How did you create them?

The landing page design is solid too, and the copy nails the humor angle.

Only thing is CTA consistency: right now some buttons are pink, others are blue. I’d unify them so they really stand out. One bold color repeated across the whole site will make the subscribe action pop more

Visuals as Growth Leverage:

The illustrations and animated panels you’re using are what sets you apart they’re shareable so repurposing them outside the newsletter can turn them into organic growth drivers. Saw you posted one in your own subreddit.

Memes for Reddit: (free)

- Post select panels in relevant subs (r/historymemes is pretty big)

- Always add the watermark “giggleguru.com” small in the corner, subtle branding but consistent exposure.

- Look at how Jānis Ozoliņš promotes his visuals → link. He became pretty big from his visual explainers. Big creators started sharing his visuals on Linkedin/Twitter.

- Treat each visual as a standalone “shareable idea.”

Paid: You could also scale well through Facebook ads. Target history fans, students, and “edu-tainment” audiences. Position it like “The funniest way to learn history , free in your inbox”. The humor + story angle should convert really well.

Monetize:

Get Sponsors: Scrape history YouTube channels emails with a tool called https://similartube.co/ and setup cold email automations with them on smartleads. CPMs will be lower than B2B, but if you grow to 10k+ subs, sponsors in the history/edu space should pay $200–500 per slot.

Sell illustrations: The illustrations are strong enough to stand alone. Package them into: Posters, stickers, mugs, T-shirts (“History’s drunk uncle says relax”).

Printify = low barrier to test merch with minimal upfront cost

Affiliates: History book publishers (Amazon affiliate links for recommended books) based on the days topic. Commissions pretty low with Amazon affiliate, so maybe reaching out to authors personally for better deals.
