Hey all. I'm a former YC founder who has been working in the creator economy before that term existed.
Anyways, I wrote a piece in the Beacons.ai blog (S19) about the importance of real-time welcome emails, and how to create one. From our own data, we find that close to 90% of creators who collect subscribers don't have a real-time welcome email set up, which is a damn shame.
I would love some feedback on this, as this post is a working document we use in our user outreach. Thanks!
I used to work at PR Newswire, THE corporate press release distribution service. Ricky demo'ed this product to me a month ago, and in the course of discussion he exposed even more of the marketing bullshit of PR Newsire than even I knew to be true. Never again will I pay for a PR Newswire or Businesswire blast. That budget goes straight to Upbeat.
