Will share the link when it drops!

I crossed the MailChimp contacts threshold once.

Once.

They immediately charge for the higher tier, for the whole month, even if you're only above the limit for one minute.

I now clean my email list religiously to keep below this line 😅

Quick thread for solopreneurs or those new to startups

I've been running £1/day Google search ads for a while, to learn how they work.

SAAS companies which don't allow customers to continue using features they've paid for until the end of their billing period when they want to cancel — why?

I can only think it's to gain accidental revenue when people forget to cancel.

Looking at you, Zapier.

Easy to forget how powerful Twitter can be at guiding attention.
