After my MVP newsletter launch and simply posting about it on a couple of Facebook groups, I got about 150+ subs within 2 days of launch. The initial idea was to eventually troll a lot of VCs on Twitter but after the short-term success of this newsletter, I started improving upon the idea and building a product around it.
What I arrived on was a version of LinkedIn but for people on Twitter. This is how Airlane was born.
It exists not just because creators don't like LinkedIn but because for many Twitter has proven it can be a huge platform for building brands, creating audiences, fostering communities, selling products, making connections & even finding jobs.
There is a migration of people trying to use twitter professionally that either were on LinkedIn and are migrating to twitter (like investors, startups, engineers, indiehackers, etc) or people who have never been on twitter (Think Crypto Twitter, Artists, musicians, everyone within influencer economy, etc)
I'm building Airlane to provide them a home! Empower them to do more with their twitter.
