Show HN: After 10 years my side project has hit $8k/mo in revenue

My feedback: I like the site. The video is helpful. The design of the page could be a little slicker, although I kind of like how it isn't super slick. It makes feel more like a small business I might want to support. A couple minor things:

- The text for the 3 steps is super dense. I honestly didn't even bother to read it. I'd try to reduce the copy a bit to one short sentence each.

- The artwork for the 33Mail logo and the icons for the 3 steps look a bit blurry. Higher res images here would make the page feel even more professional.

However,

> We have not spent much on paid user acquisition

Why not spend on paid acquisition? A bit of marketing and sales focus would have gotten you to $8k in 2 years, not 10.

I see so many great products on HN that take years to takeoff simply because the founders refuse to market it.

Good products deserve to be more widely known so more people can use them. A founder not investing in marketing is doing their own products a disservice.

Reach out to your fans and consider offering some incentive for them to sign-up their friends and family if they are not doing that already. Something like get 6 months free for each new account that you refer when they sign up for a year.

All it would cost to implement is a carefully worded email and messaging in the user's dashboard and the time to build in how you want to track the referrals - whether your users each get an individual coupon code they can share with family and friends or have a built-in function (personally I find "share with a friend" emails to impersonal and more likely to be ignored).

I like the "86ing" my spam. I wonder if you guys can get 86mail.com Just a fun thought.
