This is the real issue. If you have 10k email newsletter subscribers and are completely unable to monetize them such that they pay for your email sending, that's the real problem. What's the point of having the list at this point?
- rurp 7y agoIs it really inconceivable that the author has a primary goal other than maximizing revenue?
- pbhjpbhj 7y agoThere's a big range between maximising revenue and 'this service can't afford its administration costs'. But yes, some people are happy to personally pay the costs for others to enjoy their services.
- joemi 7y agoFair point, but not everyone is in a for-profit business. Many non-profits have large email lists and little funds.
- MichaelApproved 7y agoNon-profit doesn't mean non-revenue. Any organization with a list that large should also be able to raise enough funds to cover the cost of hosting.
- joemi 7y agoSure non-profits can probably put hundreds of dollars a month towards mailchimp. But don't you think that some non-profits would rather put that money towards whatever their non-profit is about? I don't get what's so hard to believe about that.
- MichaelApproved 7y agoIt’s not hard to believe. I’m sure they’d rather put all money paid for services towards whatever their nonprofit is about. What’s your point?
