I build a lot of extensions, plugins and themes. And often I forget to build the distribution and the marketing around the same. This has resulted into the lack of the building the marketing channel that would build me some income stream. And that kind of hurt me a lot over the years.
So I decided to get serious with the twitter last year which has now become X. And they have revenue distribution which distracted me. I spent some time trying to monetize but I am not getting any follows that easily. I barely have like 300 plus type of the followers.
Now that brings me to the new monetization channel. Substack. I want to create exclusively for the substack and add the paywall to the same. Why? Because this way you would get better revenue. Because lets face it life on hive is very difficult, barely getting upvotes and barely go through income for your content. So ignoring all arguments let's move to marketing part.
We have to do marketing for our apps and also for variety of the vibe coding content. So this way I can build marketing channel and get people to click on my apps and get to use them.
So signing up here and then getting one of the newsletter created. I named it deepbuild. You can check it out here. You can see I have not posted anything over there so no posts so far.
I also made sure to tweet about this so that I can get eyeballs on it later.

Hopefully this starts my distribution and marketing channel and this would build my substacks reach over the period as well. I prefer to make my long term goal on the app reach and some sort of revenue. No idea how much that would be slowly build in a year or two.
