Lesson learnt: Always be collecting emails

Lesson Learnt: Always be Collecting Emails

Hi IH ,

Recently reached a milestone of 300k+ total users on an indie game, Wheredle.xyz, that I had developed during the Wordle craze earlier this year

And only now did realize that I should've been collecting emails because now I have a drastically smaller audience to send my next project to.

I was operating it as a hobby so I was not looking for any monetary gains. Should've realized that I could derive a greater value out of collecting emails and generating an audience.
On a similar note, kudos to Substack for making it easy to do that.
