Ask HN: How to get sign ups for a newsletter?

I've got a lot out of reading HN, and would love to learn from this community's experience of how they got users/sign ups for a newsletter they've started/worked on. Any insights greatly appreciated!

    It sounds dumb/cliche but the answer is to simply make good content. Anything else would just be spam and then you're competing with other spammers.

    that's pretty awesome, I know getting eyeballs to your newsletter is the single most difficult thing to do.

    Just post your stuff and interested people would subscribe.
