Interesting. I&#x27;d be interested in testimonials alongside the options for promotion&#x2F;putting it in the newsletter&#x2F;etc. E.g. how many people actually read that newsletter?

How did you start&#x2F;grow the newsletter?

I run a small Product Hunt alternative called Tiny Startups.I&#x27;ve been running it as a newsletter for a few years and have grown it to around ~20k subscribers but I decided to go ahead with a soft pivot and build it into a &quot;launch platform&quot; in April to try and compete with the big boys like Product Hunt.I made $4.9k in revenue in April - my first month as a launch platform.In May revenue jumped from $4.9k to $5.6k -- most of this is from promoted submissions, even though a very high majority of submissions (~98%) are free submissions.Costs me ~$200&#x2F;month to run the site + newsletter, the rest is profit.May saw over 12k unique visitors visit the tinystartups.com website.I&#x27;m mainly just promoting this via my newsletter (~20k subs) and X. Word of mouth does the rest.Looking to grow this project to a stable ~$10k&#x2F;month but not sure how it&#x27;ll get there yet.I don&#x27;t know if this is inspirational or helpful for anyone, just thought I&#x27;d put it out there and hope for the best.

My "tiny" Product Hunt alternative made $5.6k in revenue last month
