My First 100 Subscribers!

I started thisisbuiltwith.ai in November last year.

I noticed all the hype with AI and found myself wanting to know all of the new products being launched.

This is why I created This is built with AI.

Since then I have created 5 newsletter editions and grown organically through Twitter alone.

The newsletter is short and simple.

Showcasing...

3 new products
2 useful tools for your business
1 idea or API you can use as inspiration to start building today

I'm proud to say last week I got my first 100 subscribers!

I believe I could have done so much more if I had put more effort into marketing outside of Twitter.

Reddit, a Product Hunt launch and even here on Indie Hackers... only now am I posting an update about the product!

It's silly really as I'm spending a good chunk of time each week writing the newsletter, so why would I not want it to have as much reach as possible for my efforts?

This is the reason I'm doing my own take on 12 start-ups in 12 months - the 6by12, where I spend just as much time marketing as I do building.

Product #1 of the challenge is the rebuild of This Is Built With AI. I will be moving away from all products to targeting only the best.

    Such a cool newsletter! Thinking of adding Evoke once we launch our stable diffusion API.

    Also, feel free to share this in our discord in the #projects channel. I'm sure our members will love it!
