- Feeds > Email lists. I'd even say email lists are an antipattern. Offer ways for users to stay in touch without giving an email, that's a bit of a one sided deal. Go for Twitter, Facebook, YouTube etc. That way you can have your cake and eat it too, not annoying users, and letting them stay up to date with your content.
Regarding monetization, that's exactly the strategy I was planning to go for. Probably even more integrated as in, that you can simply click on add to cart in the shopping list and then you have all the necessary ingredients together without opening Amazon separately.
Actually for the start, email lists have a very good conversion. At least to get the word out. But I totally see your point. I will move up the current social buttons more to the top so that it's easier to get in touch also via other channels.
I don't see any privacy policies, or just what you will be doing with my information that you are asking users to submit.
I like the idea, but want to know about any service before interacting with it.
You're absolutely right about the privacy policies. I'm already getting it prepared by a lawyer, I'll update the page as soon as I have the final version. But that much I can say, the email addresses are stored on a Mailchimp server and will only be used to send a weekly newsletter with new video recipes until the actual app is developed.
