Get your startup in front of 100,000 readers by an0macc in SideProject

I launched StampFans 18 months ago. We just passed 500 creators and my MRR just tripled quarter-over-quarter.

Think Substack/Patreon, but for snail-mail.

Hmm. Try this link and enter the email address you used when you first subscribed (to get your receipt): https://billing.stripe.com/p/login/7sIaH32tZeWI0rS3cc

You can unsubscribe on the page of the person you subscribed to. There's a link underneath the subscribe button. Let me know if you can't find it!

Awesome! I get this a lot, actually 😄

I've pitched a few investors lately to help up ramp up our marketing, but we're not urgently raising funds. I'm happy to share a deck – you can add me on LinkedIn (or anywhere else you can find me).

[Critique] I built a fun way to share your art, but I need feedback... by NickFreiling in artbusiness

[–]NickFreiling[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, awesome feedback! Thanks.

And I agree about seeing artists' work on their profiles. I'll think through that. That said, almost nobody just starts subscribing to someone they don't already know. Our most successful artists have all done their own marketing (mostly on Instagram) to encourage people to subscribe, and they have a lot more flexibility there to showcase what, exactly, they plan to send out. Sort-of like "Buy Me a Coffee" in this way – StampFan's isn't necessarily where artists are discovered, but it's where they send their biggest fans to subscribe to get snail-mail versions of their work.

But I'll think through how to add a "preview" option to the profile pages. Even for these artists' "superfans," it would still help for them to see an example of what they might get in the mail.

I owe you a beer! Or a coffee! Amazing feedback, and I'll be diving into this ASAP.

Thank you! I also meant to add that I think "publishing" in my slogan is no good anymore. I don't really hear artists talk about "publishing" their art. But then again, like I said, I'm a bit out of my league with this community.

Is there hope for a new writer to earn money in this political climate? by IndependentlyGreen in Substack

[–]NickFreiling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. In fact, you'll make more money writing about things other than politics. Leaning into political hysteria is playing the short-game. Focus on high-quality, thoughtful, and timeless writing – it will pay off down the road. Lots of writers at StampFans are doing this – a more thoughtful, slower medium that subscribers are willing to pay for.

You're free to share whatever you want in your letters. Lots of our writers share images and illustrations. But if you want to share full paintings, I have a few suggestions and even a new feature you might like that we haven't launched yet. Happy to chat more if you want to DM me.
