Why didn't your service send first email with tech news when I pushed "subscribe" button?
That it what I expected.
That's a good point. I'll update it to do that from now on!
Well, hear me out -- I'm not trying to trash talk about your product, it's just my opinion.
We're 2 thirds into 2023 and seemengly, a lot (a very LOT) of people are constantly bombarding IH forums with products like yours, newsletters. Think about it: newsletters, in 2023, is all that most can do these days?
Don't get me wrong, I use email daily and LOVE IT. Newsletters are valuable. But to see so many people spin off so many clones of the same idea? Come on.
Your product may not be doing well simply because 1. the newsletter space is overly saturated and 2. there's no 'aha' factor, there's no burning problem solved for anyone. People can find things on the internet the same way you'd find and send them via email.
I might be wrong, I might sound salty. It's just my opinion and I stand by it. Whenever I see a new 'entrepreneur' advertising a new 'startup' or 'saas' which turns out to be a single page newsletter, I lose interest in half a second. I'm sure others, too.
I can totally understand that.
I am working on other projects that will hopefully launch soon, but I wanted to start a newsletter mostly because it helps me learn better. I already research tech news almost every day so why not share what I find interesting with everyone else and possibly make some money while doing it.
