I just wanted to thank you for writing about the doldrums, and about continuing slowly through them anyway. THAT piece of advice seems so universally applicable, and I don't personally don't run across it so much in places like HN. I loved that you didn't just stop, just maybe slowed down, and that the little steps just kept adding up anyways.
p.s. I remember originally hearing about ChurnBuster on Our Own Little Accelerator. Why'd that show die?
How did you find subscribers with no spending on marketing?
I'm sure I'll write about this more later, but the earliest customers were friends and consulting clients who ran subscription services. They were onboard before it was even built.
good luck man. hope you'll have more clear skies ahead...
