Newsletter operations & content-research outsourcing

Set up the operational stack (Zapier, Notion, Slack, ESP) and deliver content research/curation for busy newsletter founders.

Problem

Creators waste time on repetitive ops and on finding well-researched, original newsletter content.

Target customer

Independent newsletter writers and small media owners who want to outsource ops and content research.

Solution

Deliver a package: connect ESPs with Zapier automations, build Notion editorial workflows, integrate Slack notifications, and provide weekly researched article leads or briefs.
