Creator Bookmarks Newsletter – Paid Insider Feed
A paid newsletter or Twitter account that publishes the actual bookmarks/saves of well-known entrepreneurs and creators, giving subscribers a window into what influential people find worth saving.

The idea emerged as a spin-off during the Drip discussion: instead of (or in addition to) building an AI resurfacing tool, you could reach out to a handful of high-profile entrepreneurs and pay them $500–1,000/month to share their weekly bookmarks, then package and sell that feed as a premium newsletter. Think 'Greg Eisenberg's Bookmarks,' 'Shaan Puri's Bookmarks' — a curated signal from people whose taste and deal flow others trust deeply.
This is a media/creator business more than a SaaS product. The monetization is simple: charge subscribers $10–30/month for access to 3–5 creators' bookmark feeds, pay creators a flat fee for participation, and pocket the spread. The content has extremely low production cost since creators are simply exporting their native saves. Network effects kick in as more well-known creators join and the subscriber base grows, making it attractive to additional creators.

03 THE VERDICT
The concept is clever and low-overhead, but it has a classic chicken-and-egg problem: you need notable creators to attract subscribers, and you need subscribers to convince notable creators. It works best as a bolt-on to an existing audience (like Greg's own newsletter) rather than a standalone cold-start. Revenue ceiling is also lower than a SaaS product unless you can sign genuinely famous names.

Was a newsletter platform acquired then killed by Twitter; relevant as proof of demand for Twitter-native newsletters.
