Would be nice if you ask the same question twice, it would look in previous "stored questions" or not for your previous answer if you need to reuse an old answer. I found it tedious to look for an old answer I need in old conversations.

I've been working on https://growfa.st.

A lot of times, websites suggest I sign up for a 5-10% discount/promo code. That might lead to a sale and they get one more user to their email list.

GrowFast takes that a step furtver by offering a widget that provides different tasks for the user to complete in order to receive the promo code. The tasks range between user generated content leading to more organic traffic, user reviews and even testimonials (haven't decided fully on the tasks just yet).

I think this is a cool concept and I hope companies think likewise.

The problem with this these days is that, even if you want to do something new, companies will not hire you because you lack work experience of what skills you want to obtain.

I heard that back in the days, if you knew coding you were hired. Today you have to know 10000 things.

Good point. I think that one of the things that got this discussion to fire up was that I didn't say that I didn't mind my emails going to spam box (I know it's very tricky getting whitelisted). And I think, some of those who say 'nope, impossible' is referring to getting whitelisted while those who say 'works fine for me' are people fine with not being whitelisted.

€0,90/month at Zoho for Mail Lite right? How many domains can you setup with that? Their pricing page doesn't mention that https://www.zoho.com/mail/zohomail-pricing.html Other than that, I must say that Zoho is probably the cheapest option out there. I am using it right now (for free) but I can only setup one custom domain. This whole conversation have gotten me quite excited to see how good my ISP is so I have just ordered a RPi to try setup a email server at home (for fun).
