I built MailShare to solve a problem I encountered while trying to monetize my own email list: existing solutions were either too complex or i had to setup my email sending provider completely from scratch again.
What MailShare does:
Provides a simple way to set up paid subscriptions for your email content
Integrates with Stripe for secure payments
Offers a free tier with a fee and a $89/month premium tier with only Stripe fees
Automates welcome emails and subscriber management
Key features:
One-click audience setup
Customizable payment links
Automated subscriber management
Basic analytics dashboard
I'm particularly interested in feedback on:
The pricing model (free with 20% fee vs $89/month flat fee)
Essential features for email monetization that I might be missing
Potential integrations that would make MailShare more useful
As a solo founder, I'm excited to share this with the HN community and eager to hear your thoughts, criticisms, and suggestions. I'm here to answer any questions and discuss the challenges of building a product in the email monetization space.
