Great post Nick! I started posting on Dev.to a few weeks ago and I've been really enjoying creating content. A mailing list is a great idea I will implement as well. Thanks for all the good advice!

Awesome! I use (and really enjoy) Buttondown (buttondown.email). You can write posts with markdown and you get the first 1000 subscribers for free.

Do you think there's a point where paying for the mailing list will not become worth it? e.g. if you managed to hit 20k and you were paying $100 a month.

(Also the link on your DEV profile links to your old typeofnan mailing list)

Yes, there's probably a point where I'd start exploring other services if this didn't scale well. If my mailing list does get to that level of popularity, I'd probably also try to monetize somehow to offset the cost.
