Ask HN: What resources would you recommend to set up a paid newsletter?

5 pointsby CoreSetover 10 years ago
Hello.<p>I&#x27;m trying to monetize a blog by setting up a paid subscription tier for visitors who want scheduled, special content that goes more in-depth than the web material (and includes extra downloads like source code, images, etc.).<p>I currently have Mailgun set up for transactional emails (and frankly, absolutely love the routes system and the general robustness of the API).<p>Does anyone have experience with configuring a paid newsletter option on top of Mailgun? Or another service? (I&#x27;m willing to integrate another service, but would like to keep MG in the mix if possible)

I&#x27;m working on something similar and I&#x27;ll be using Memberful: <a href="https://memberful.com/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;memberful.com&#x2F;</a><p>It might not be the perfect mesh that you&#x27;re looking for, but I think it might be a useful patch. You would just ask folks to pay by filling out the memberful form (powered by Stripe) and then add their email address to the appropriate mailing list. If&#x2F;When payment stops, pull their email and send them a message asking them to update payment information.

What are the specific things that you want to do that Mailgun won&#x27;t let you do?<p>I&#x27;m guessing that you need a membership system and payment setup, for example?
