This is an awesome idea we hadn't thought of. What was the product? We'll reach out to the team!


Status Audio, I have about one of everything they've made so far. https://www.status.co/pages/between-lp2 The page does have a subscribe option on the desktop page (I rarely check my email via computer these days). But yes, there are a ton of artists that need to gauge interest and track notices out to their fans. They make a good amount of their money via merch versus ads. Webtoons handles their signed artists but there are a ton of the unsigned ones that rely on patron and etsy for income. Is there a way to link through articles about the artist/product to the sign up or have an embedded option on a third party's page?


Thanks! Linkfire is definitely an inspiration for us and our goal is to build a suite of tools for fan identification, monetization, and communication.

We hope that by building for a wide array of creators and continuing to expand the toolset we can differentiate ourselves from some of the established products.


That's an awesome idea, can't wait to hear how that goes!


Thanks! We’re all based in LA (unfortunately remotely for the time being)


Drop me an email? sam@sjt.org.uk


Thanks and would love to hear more! We’re just getting started and it would be great to see what issues we could solved for you


Yep we’re not competing with multiple link tools / presaves. We’re focused on the marketing and notification side. For a creator those tools don’t help your fans actually remember your future content they only link out to the content once it’s available.


Thanks Ben!


Thanks!


Appreciate the advice. We’re working to get to more YouTubers and Gamers for the exact reason you mentioned. If you know anyone in the space send them our way!
