I've launched my newsletter that already has 639 subscribers 🤩
I've finally launched ideabot.io on Producthunt after working on it a few months and reaching 600+ subscribers.
It's a free newsletter (and I'm trying to monetize it here and there, with smaller successes), if you want to help I'd greatly appreciate it:

And also I want to combine this with an "AMA" (ask me anything)! If you have any questions, let me know in the comments (anything related to ideabot, GPT-3, creativity, memes, you name it).
Congrats on launching! Newsletters are great and I personally run two of them myself. How did you get your first 600 subscribers and do you have any specific plans on monetization?
Thank you!
My main channels were Indiehackers & Reddit (one of my IH posts went somewhat viral with 2k+ views: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/a-non-sexual-dating-app-to-find-coffee-dates-with-other-founders-and-entrepreneurs-to-talk-about-ideas-and-problems-more-cff1b441e2)
I usually post the generated ideas on Reddit communities and put a small link to my site
I created a fun project called "Product prediction" (https://ideabot.io/product-prediction) and it got me a lot of Twitter impressions and also people checked out Ideabot because of it
For monetization, I've created a premium membership but it didn't really work out, right now I'll focus on one-time products (e.g selling a list of 100-200 exclusive, premium ideas that won't be shared in the free newsletter).
It already got me multiple sales and this will be the first month that this project is profitable (with GPT-3 and Mailchimp my costs are around $30-$40 a month).
