• Ask HN: How many of you are self employed?

  Self-employed, running https://buttondown.email as a solo founder. (My day generally looks like — 30% engineering, 40% onboarding + support, 10% marketing, 20% operations.) It was a profitable nights-and-weekends project from 2017—2022; took it full-time in 2022.

• Massive drop in sales, need advice

  Anywho, the old mailgun system was able to send emails immediately + had images in them.

• Snov or Lemlist
