I actually made a thread on twitter about my progress since launching a week ago. Basically, www.buymeacoffee.com/nocsdegree is helping while I work on native ads/sponsorships from companies. I have had a newsletter sponsor already as well. https://twitter.com/noCSdegree/status/1156113417721323520
Congrats Pete. Perhaps try summarising some of the articles as threads on Twitter. e.g. -
How Steph Smith learnt to code
THREAD ...
And then 5 - 10 summary points from her article?
That style of thread has certainly been the trick in grow my marketing sites Twitter
Awesome! Good to know.
Nicely done! I love the whole idea behind this project :)
Thanks for all the coffees dude!!
Great start to the day!
Great job! I like the idea, it's very inspiring stuff. Just out of curiosity, how do you select people to interview? Anyway, keep up the good work!
Thanks! It started off by me asking people in Telegram groups how they got started. This was before I had the website as a concept and I was just curious. So I know a couple of people already to interview and then I started approaching new people. Then when I was top of HN 30 people emailed me in one day. So sorting through those now.
Nice job! 👏 congrats!
Cheers!
Way to go!
cheers!
I've never seen tipping as being scaleable. Patreon and other subscription models seem to work but tipping seems really incidental. Have considered something like this for incomedata.org, which is a high value add for a small number of people but haven't had good results.
Tipping isn't my only source of revenue.
$100 now 😎
Congratulations. I’ve been telling myself to do this for a while and reading about your journey is motivation to get started. #onward
Thanks! Go start :)
Hi. Well done.
How have you built audience for the newsletter?
470+ in a week??
I got top of Hacker News for three hours.

Haha, i love this app. I just signed up to give it out to a few people on IndieHackers because I've been replying to them, but I didn't connect paypal or stripe yet, because well, trust. So my account is sitting dormant until I connect both of those accounts. Which makes me want to create dummy accounts on either platform so i'm not connecting my account that has my projects/saas products in it etc
