Interesting, I didn't know about the Hegre email! My newsletter concept is kinda similar - bite sized with just a few images. It's quick to put together and easy to consume. Like scrolling IG for a minute. We designed it to look really aesthetically pleasing.

I'm hopeful that something that takes less than a minute to consume could be integrated into the daily routine of many subscribers.

I agree with you that anything more intense would make subscribers never want to open it.

Haha, thank you. Yeah, I don't really see any other newsletter or pornsite as "competition". Rather if there were a lot of newsletters, it would suggest there is demand and it's profitable. So the apparent lack of newsletters is more concerning as opposed to the existence of big dogs who already have a million subscribers. The technical difficulties just serve to make it a bit harder for everyone and their uncle to jump in the game.

This is my background as well, not quite 3 decades like you but close. We already had a PMTA infrastructure linked to a number of dedicated IPs that is being used for other newsletters, fortunately. The cost for a system like this is way too high for just a tiny newsletter idea, so totally onboard with you that it wouldn't likely make sense unless you already have it.


I think the stage I'm at now is proof of concept. Can I get it to grow fast enough/cheaply enough to be worth it?

Monetization later should be achievable because there are so many avenues to do so. I think we can worry about it until after the list size is 10k+


Keep the feedback coming! I love it, especially reasons why the idea might be hard to achieve. No sense spending time and money on dead end projects.
