What is Swapstack?
Launched in 2021 by Jacob Schonberger and Jake Singer, Swapstack was built directly using no-code. Swapstack enables newsletter writers to monetize their publications in various ways. They provide pre-approved affiliate deals and sponsorship opportunities, essentially providing a new channel which advertisers can grow their company with. Simply put, Swapstack is making it easier for creators to monetize and for brands to find their perfect audiences.
Swapstack: Built With No-Code in Bubble
Swapstack was built entirely using no-code tools. Their minimal viable product (MVP) used a combination of Airtable, Zapier, and Slack automation. Their landing page, up until recently, was built using Webflow. Once they decided to build the actual product, Swapstack used Bubble, which they continue to use today. All no-code tools. When asked about the use of no-code during an interview, Jake Singer (Swapstack Co-Founder) said “anything that can reduce the cost of trial is going to be a net positive impact on entrepreneurship” and “the ability to validate business ideas is becoming approachable to anyone.”
Swapstack: Early Success
After building out their vision using no-code, Swapstack saw a ton of promising success. Within two years of creation, the product would achieve all this:
- $20,000/month earned
- 1000+ creators monetized with Swapstack
- $2M+ Earned by those creators
- 60 million readers reached per week
After an amazing run of success, Swapstack has been acquired by Beehiiv.
