⚒️ Tool Path

Newsletters are more popular than ever. It's likely you've subscribed to newsletters, or maybe even started your own on the popular platform, Substack. So, why should you create your own platform for a paid newsletter? Profit is one major benefit: by building your own platform, leveraging a tool like MemberSpace, you'll pay a flat-rate anywhere from 0.5% to 4%, while other done-for-you platforms take a 10% cut.

In this tool-path, you will learn how to set up a monthly and yearly newsletter plan, and connect your subscribers to Mailchimp so you can send your newsletter by email. This tool-path was built by our Creator in Residence, Sara Saunders.

There are many outstanding ways to use no-code to start a business. Here we explore the wonderful world of progressive web apps — PWAs. These web apps function as websites but provide an almost 100% native mobile app experience. No-code tools have made PWA development easier, faster, and more affordable than ever before.
