Hi Product Hunt,
Today, I'm thrilled to introduce CuratedLetters to you, a new player in the email marketing arena (but with a twist). This journey started when our founder, Emad, wanted to communicate to other passionate people like himself about his passion. He wanted this free for anyone to get started, easy to use, save time and if you take it seriously, earn a passive income.
And today, after countless hours & months of development and feedback from amazing beta testers, we're finally here!
CuratedLetters is designed to be completely free to use, with unlimited newsletters, subscribers, and emails. The platform is monetized through automatically inserted ads in the emails sent through the service. Whether you're a yoga teacher or a business owner, our solution will keep your audience engaged, connected to your brand and do so with automation, as many times as you like (per week/ month).
Creating this product has been a labor of love. We've faced numerous challenges, but seeing the positive impact on our early users has made it all worthwhile.
I want to extend my deepest gratitude to my incredible team and all our supporters who believed in us.
I'd love for you to give CuratedLetters a go and share your thoughts.
For the Product Hunt community, we're offering an exclusive offer which gives you a higher percentage of the ad revenue share from your newsletters. Don't snooze on this...
Thank you for being part of this journey and feel free to reach out with any questions or comments. Your feedback will be invaluable as we continue to improve and grow.
We're here and ready to help.
High Five!
I like this. How does this compare to Beehiiv? And does it allow for api access like if i have my own component instead of embedding a subscribe button I can implement it into my own?
Keith,
Congratulations on CuratedLetters! I totally understand the sweat it takes to launch a new product! Finding ways to monetize engagement is complicated and you and your team have knocked that problem out of the park.
i think i missed it somewhere. The revenue model seems to be upside down. As the content creator, I should be making 70% (SEVENTY PERCENT) of the revenue, and the infra service provider should be getting a maximum 30% THIRTY PERCENT cut. Maybe I misunderstood.
I pay an agent a 10% commission to get me new gigs; he doesn't take 90% for himself and give me 10%!
What am I missing here?
Congratulations on the launch of CuratedLetters, @keith_saas! It's inspiring to see a product that prioritizes accessibility and user engagement in email marketing. The concept of unlimited newsletters and subscribers really sets it apart in the market. I love the monetization model too—using automatically inserted ads can provide a unique way to earn while building valuable connections with your audience.
It’s clear that a lot of passion and hard work went into this project, and I can’t wait to see how it evolves with the feedback from the community. Offering an exclusive ad revenue share for the Product Hunt community is also a clever move. Keep up the great work!
This is awesome! CuratedLetters looks like a game-changer for email marketing. The free plan is a great way to get started. Can't wait to try it out!
Congrats on the launch! I checked these tools, and they are unbelievable and unpaid. Great work, team.
Congrats on the launch! Great work guys. Newsletter and podcasts are growing rapidly. This tool has so much to offer under free plan as well.
Congrats on the launch, @keith_saas! CuratedLetters sounds like a game changer for email marketing. Excited to see how the community will leverage it to build their audiences and monetize effectively. Time to upvote! 🚀
Wow, Emad and team! 🎉 It's exciting to see a project like CuratedLetters hit the stage on PH. The concept of monetizing a newsletter while keeping it completely free is definitely a game-changer! With unlimited emails and subscribers, it sounds like the perfect tool for anyone looking to engage their audience without breaking the bank.
I’m particularly intrigued by the ad integration—smart way to sustain the platform while providing value to users! And let's face it, who doesn't want to earn some passive income while sharing their passion? The emphasis on automation is a cherry on top—busy creators will love this!
Can’t wait to give this a whirl and see how it can pump up my engagement. Kudos to the amazing beta testers for their feedback and the whole team for all the hard work! Here’s to hoping CuratedLetters sees some major traction. Upvoted! 🚀
Congrats! Curated Letters looks like a brilliant tool for managing and enhancing email communication. It's exciting to see a solution that focuses on organizing and personalizing emails to improve productivity.
I look forward to how it streamlines inbox management and improves communication. Great job on this innovative product!
Looks very interesting! I will send to my marketing department and ask them to give feedback.
curated news letters? damn i though i would have to keep subscribed to all the news letters and get my mail box filled.
love this product
I love the concept that it is built around. Free forever? Wow! Kudos on the launch!
I wish you best of luck here, but it doesn’t feel there for me yet.
There are a lot of tools in the curated email space that are much more mature than this, including Curated (https://curated.co) and Goodbits (https://goodbits.io). Both of these tools have been around for a decade or longer. While they cost money, the experience on both of these tools clearly earns your money.
I think that your ad-driven angle is novel, but I personally feel that the approach opens publishers up to the very same traps that led them to start newsletters in the first place. I’ve been around the blogging block for long enough to know that ad networks made very similar promises to the one you’re making here, and the result was that everyone got pennies rather than dollars.
My recommendation for you would be to streamline the curation process and compete more on features rather than business model. I might even suggest creating an option so not everyone has to curate their newsletter. Some people just like writing.
