How I build custom email newsletters (Blind dinner) | Build in public E123
Build and Newsletter Update
I provided an update on my latest build where I developed a custom website and CMS for my newsletter, Random Daily URLs. In the video, I explained how I built the website and email system from scratch using tools like MJML and my own self-hosted software. I detailed the process of scheduling content, safeguarding against bots, and using cost-effective solutions like SendGrid and AWS. I also touched on my personal plans, mentioning my partner’s birthday dinner at a pitch-black restaurant and my upcoming vacation, while highlighting my continuous focus on building and scaling my AI business and marketing channel.
