Trolley

Trolley processed > £5,000 in Other People's Money through our payments platform for the first time!

This is one of our key metrics - we're measuring growth by how much we're processing for our customers, and naturally by the commission & fees we received as a result (which correlates to our own MRR)

We've had a big uptick in customers this month, which we're attributing to the increasing relevance of the #NoCode movement (NoCodeConf was this month and even though we didn't attend, some well-timed marketing got us some new customers)

We've also had some great feedback and a new testimonial in the last month - November has been good to us :)

Paid subscription email newsletter are pretty hot right now.

There are many examples where authors are building huge communities [1], but the tools that support doing so can be really expensive [2]

Here's a quick tutorial for how to set one up from scratch (including Mailchimp, a brand new website, payments and subscriptions) in about half an hour.

[1] - see Stratechery, Cleaning The Glass or reCharged for good examples of paid newsletters that people love

[2] - Substack takes 10% of everything you make, on top of the Stripe fees! (Trolley is Stripe + 2%... so you should totally use Trolley. But then I would say that.)

Only been live for a couple of hours and already an IH member has been kind enough to email me directly to give (positive!) feedback. I love this community!
