Newsletter Curation as a Service

Concept

Busy B2B teams crave concise intel but hate the chore of digging. You become their personal filter: scan industry sources, pick the five links that actually matter, add two‑line “so‑what” notes, and ship every Monday morning.

Micro‑Capex Stack

• Free Gmail alias + Substack (or Buttondown for leaner UX)
• Pocket or Feedly (free tier) to corral sources
• Airtable (free) for link tagging

48‑Hour Validation

1. Draft a one‑page Google Form describing the digest and asking for pre‑payment ($15/mo early‑bird, Stripe link).
2. DM 25 target prospects on LinkedIn; post in a niche Slack channel.
3. Green‑light if three people swipe their card—recurring revenue on day one.

Launch Blueprint (Week 1)

• Day 1‑2: Collect preferred topics from new subscribers.
• Day 3: Build a “Content Radar” spreadsheet—columns for source, link, punchline, action item.
• Day 4: Write Issue #1 in 30 minutes; schedule.
• Day 5: Request 10‑second testimonials to slap on the landing page and raise price to $29/mo.

Scale Plays

• Offer team plans (5 seats for $99/mo).
• Bolt on a quarterly Zoom briefing at $250.
• Hire a VA to handle link gathering once MRR hits $500.

Pitfalls to Dodge

• Over‑stuffing issues—brevity is the sell.
• Generic commentary; tie every link to a clear business action.
