A mailing-list has the big advantage of helping to make it more regular.
A list of hundreds of places gets quickly frustrating and won't be completed, believe me.
Hey ProductHunters 👋️
It’s me again, Peter. I've built a little idea I had over a glass of wine in self-imposed quarantine: A simple & free newsletter with marketing opportunities to promote your side-projects, apps, APIs, bands, blogs, … 💪️
Why a newsletter instead of just a list? 📧️
A list with hundreds of places to submit is great - to rank on Google. But when you are working through, it gets frustrating quickly: not free anymore, dead projects, missing details, etc.
On top, even if you find good places you are likely to give up after a few hours of submitting. The effect is low as there is no regularity. A newsletter makes this easier: You get it, skim over it and decide if it’s worth your time. This leads to working more regularly on the marketing side of your projects.
Can I see an example? 🔍️
Sure, I’ve prepared newsletter examples to show the key insights for launching on ProductHunt or promoting your project on Reddit. I’ve sent these only to myself... The structure and details might change - I’m open for your feedback 🙌️
How often do you send these? ✍️
This really depends on my other commitments. I don’t plan to send dozens of emails a week. That’s not me and wouldn’t help. Rather one decent email every two weeks than twenty small emails a day.
How much does it cost? 🔥️
500 USD per month, starter plan. Just kidding ;) I don’t plan on charging anything for the newsletter. Help curating information is highly appreciated though 💪️ I might accept ethical sponsoring later on to cover the costs.
Tech Stack 💪️
For those who are interested: The site is built using MVP.css (https://andybrewer.github.io/mvp/) and hosted on Netlify. Emails are sent using the awesome Buttondown newsletter service by @justinmduke 😍️
Thanks for providing early feedback to Vincent (@yesnoornext) from threader!
Cheers!
