Website Hunt

After sharing the website on reddit, the website gained around 500 newsletter subscribers.

That is a huge win, I expect to start monetisation after the 1,000 subscribers mark.

I saw people around here start sponsoring from around 500 subscribers.

MISTAKE I
I wasn't moderating new submissions and a website with potential nsfw content came through, scheduled the day of the reddit sharing. Reddit moderators spotted it and removed my post.

I am still up 500 subscribers. But could have been much more. So now I have top-notch moderation process.

Got my first ≈200 newsletter subscribers from product hunt. And 86 upvotes.

It might be underwhelming but it is a win considering I only shared an MVP at this point.

So if 200 people are interested enough to let their emails in my MVP with bad design, it validates the idea.
