For newsletter operators with 5,000+ subscribers who are tired of leaving money on the table.

We Build Custom AI Tools
Your Subscribers Will Pay For.
You Invest Nothing, Keep 60%, and Fund Growth You Never Thought Possible.

Monetize, retain, and add a new revenue that changes
the entire math on how fast you can grow.

The Problem: Your Audience Is Worth 10x What You’re Extracting.

Let me guess.

You have thousands of subscribers who open your emails, click your links, and trust your recommendations more than they trust most people they know in real life.

And your monetization options are: sponsorships that cap out. Paid tiers that convert 2-5% on a good day. Courses that spike and die. Affiliate links that pay you pennies for someone else's product.

You’ve built one of the hardest things in business: a loyal, engaged audience in a specific niche. And you’re monetizing it like it’s 2019.

Here’s the part that should make you uncomfortable:

Your subscribers would pay $9, $19, $29, even $49 a month for a tool that solves the exact problem your newsletter talks about every week. Not because of a clever ad. Because you told them about it. Because they trust you.

That tool doesn’t exist yet. Nobody has built it.

We will.

For free.

And you keep 60% of everything it earns.

Here’s How This Works (And Why You Will Not Believe the Terms)

You know your audience better than anyone. What they struggle with. What keeps them up at night.

What they would pay money to solve tomorrow if the right tool existed.

We sit down together and figure out what that tool is.

Maybe it’s one killer AI agent. Maybe it’s a suite of three or four tools that work together. You give us the insight. We do all the building.

We handle design, development, hosting, updates, maintenance, and technical support. Every line of code. Every server. Every bug fix. Every improvement. All of it.

Your job? Two things.

First: help us understand what your subscribers actually need. Not once. Ongoing. You’re the voice of your audience, and that feedback is what makes the tools genuinely great instead of generic junk nobody uses.

Second: talk about the tools in your newsletter the way you talk about anything you believe in.

That’s it.

Subscribers pay a monthly fee. You keep 60%. We keep 40%. You invest zero dollars. We take all the development risk.

And before you ask: yes, the tools get better over time.

Because you keep telling us what your subscribers love, what they want more of, and where the gaps are.

The suite grows. The value grows. The revenue grows.

All from an ongoing conversation between someone who knows the audience (you) and someone who knows how to build AI tools (us).

The Numbers (Conservative. Your 60% Share.)

15,000 subscribers. Suite priced at $39/month. 3% conversion.

450 paying tool users. $17,550/month in total revenue.

Your 60%: $10,530/month.

$126,360 per year. Without writing a line of code. Without hiring a developer. Without managing a server.

And that’s at 15,000 subscribers. Grow to 25,000 and your share jumps to $17,550/month. Hit 50,000 and you’re looking at $35,100/month.

These are founding partner numbers. 60/40 in your favor. Future partners will get less favorable terms once we have proven the model and demand increases.

Here’s the kicker: with $10,530/month in new recurring revenue, you can afford to spend $3,000-5,000/month on paid subscriber acquisition.

If that brings in 2,000-3,000 new subscribers per month, your tool revenue grows, your sponsorship revenue grows, and you spend more on growth.

The flywheel turns.

The Retention Weapon Nobody in Your Niche Has Yet

Here’s something most newsletter operators never think about until it is too late:

Content is easy to replace. There is always another newsletter. Another writer. Another take on the same topic.

But a tool your subscribers use every single day? One that is built into their workflow, saves them hours, and only exists because of your newsletter?

That isn’t content. That’s infrastructure.

When a subscriber uses your AI deal analyzer every morning before making investment decisions, your newsletter is not something they read. It’s something they depend on. Unsubscribing does not just mean losing emails. It means losing the tool.

That’s a switching cost. And most newsletters have zero switching costs. They compete on content quality alone, which means they’re one bad month away from losing readers to whoever is writing the slightly better version of what they write.

Your newsletter with an exclusive AI tool suite? That’s a moat. A real one. Not a buzzword. The kind of moat where someone thinks about unsubscribing, remembers they use your tools every day, and stays.

Every subscriber you retain is a subscriber you don’t have to replace.

And retention compounds.

Quietly.

Relentlessly.

The Subscriber Magnet: "Tools Available Only to Our Readers"

Imagine adding this line to your newsletter’s landing page:

"Subscribe and get exclusive access to [AI Tool Suite] that helps you [specific outcome]. Only available to our subscribers. Not sold anywhere else."

That’s not a lead magnet. That’s a reason to subscribe that no competing newsletter in your space can match.

Because we only work with one newsletter per niche.

If you’re the personal finance newsletter that partners with us, no other personal finance newsletter gets these tools. If you’re the HR Best Practice newsletter, same thing.

The tools are yours. Exclusively. Contractually.

Your competitors are stuck competing on content alone.

You’re competing on content plus utility.

That’s not a fair fight, and it shouldn’t be.

First mover in each niche wins. Everyone else is locked out.

The Growth Unlock:
How This Changes the Entire Math on Scaling Your Newsletter

This is the part most operators don’t see coming.

And it’s the part that changes everything.

Right now, your subscriber LTV is probably driven by sponsorship revenue. If you’re earning $30-50 CPM and subscribers stick around for a year on average, each subscriber is worth maybe $3-5 over their lifetime.

At those numbers, paid growth is basically impossible.

Meta ads cost $2-5 per subscriber.
SparkLoop and Beehiiv Boosts aren’t cheap either.

You run the math, it doesn’t work, and you go back to grinding out organic growth.

Slowly. (soooo slowly)

Now add an AI tool suite at $19/month, where 3-5% of your subscribers convert.

Suddenly, your average subscriber is not worth $3-5. Your blended LTV jumps dramatically because a real percentage of every new subscriber becomes a paying tool user, generating $11.40/month for you (your 60% of $19).

Let that sink in.

Even at a $19 price point, a single converting subscriber generates 4x more revenue in one month than a non-converting subscriber generates in their entire lifetime from sponsorships.

At the new LTV?

Meta ads work.
SparkLoop works.
Beehiiv Boosts work.
Paid recommendations work.
Referral programs with real incentives work.

Every growth channel that was previously too expensive is now profitable.

So you invest in growth.

Your list gets bigger.

More subscribers means more tool users. More tool users means more revenue. More revenue means more growth budget. And a bigger list also means higher sponsorship rates and more advertising demand.

Read that paragraph again.

The tools do not just add revenue. They fund the growth that increases ALL revenue. Sponsorship revenue. Advertising revenue. Tool revenue. Everything compounds.

This is not a side income play. This is the flywheel that scales your entire business to a level that sponsorships alone could never reach.

Who We Are (And Why the Terms Are This Good)

AdAI builds custom AI agents for businesses (I’m Steve the CEO, BTW)

We’ve documented our process and results in our newsletter. Go read it.

We would rather you judge us on our work than our pitch.

Newsletter partnerships are a new initiative for us.

That’s exactly why founding partner terms are 60/40 in your favor. We’re investing in proving this model works, and we want our first partners to win big.

Because when you win, we have a case study that sells the next partnership.

And the next one. And the next one.

We’re being transparent about that because you’re a marketer.

Mutual self-interest is the foundation of every great partnership.

What the Partnership Looks Like Day to Day

Week 1: We get on a call.

You tell us what your subscribers struggle with, what they ask you about, what tools they currently cobble together.

You know this better than any market research ever could. We listen, ask questions, and sketch out the agent or suite concept together.

Week 2+: We build.

You review, give feedback, and tell us where we’re on track and where we’re off.

Your input is not optional.

It’s what makes the tool genuinely useful instead of another generic AI chatbot nobody cares about.

Launch: You announce the tool to your audience. We handle onboarding, support, and the technical side. Revenue starts flowing.

Ongoing: You keep telling us what subscribers love, what they want more of, and what frustrates them.

We keep improving, adding new tools to the suite, and growing the value.

The suite evolves because your subscribers evolve.

That ongoing feedback loop is what separates this from every other "build it and forget it" product.

Your time commitment: a few hours in the design phase, then maybe 30 minutes a month sharing feedback.

Everything else is on us.

Still Skeptical? Good. You Should Be.

“What if my subscribers don’t pay for tools?" That’s why we start with a free trial and iterate. If the first version doesn’t convert, we dig into why. Maybe the pricing is wrong. Maybe we need to add more tools to the suite. Maybe the positioning needs work. We don’t build and disappear. We iterate until the economics work for both of us. Our revenue depends on it too.

"I do not want to become a software company." You’re not. You’re a newsletter operator who happens to have exclusive tools that their subscribers pay for. We are the software company. You are the distribution and the voice of the customer.

"Why 60% for me?" Because we need you to promote aggressively and we need this to work visibly. Generous terms now mean better case studies, which means more partnerships later. You benefit from getting in early. We benefit from proving the model. When demand increases, future partners will not get 60%.

"What if a competitor in my niche contacts you?" We turn them down. One per niche is contractual. If they call us after you have signed, the answer is no.

"What about my editorial voice?" The tools serve your audience, not the other way around. You decide when, how, and whether to mention them. If you would not naturally recommend the tool to your subscribers, we built the wrong tool. And we’ll fix it.

"What if I want out?" 60 days’ notice. You keep your subscribers and data. We keep the technology. Clean exit, no drama, no lock-in.

Here’s What Happens Next

You book a 15-minute call.

We look at your newsletter, your niche, and your audience. You tell us what your subscribers struggle with. We sketch out what a custom AI tool or suite could look like and run the revenue math on your actual numbers.

If there’s a fit, we move forward on founding partner terms: 60/40 in your favor, niche exclusivity, priority in our development queue.

If there is not a fit, you spent 15 minutes talking to someone who thinks about newsletter monetization all day. You will probably still walk away with an idea or two.

But here is what I would not do: wait.

We are only partnering with one newsletter per niche.

When someone in your space signs, that door closes. And the founding partner terms, the 60% share, will not last once we have a portfolio of proven results and operators lining up.

The operators who move first win the most. That has been true of every platform shift in the creator economy. This one is no different.

P.S. You already built the audience. You already earned the trust. The only question is whether you are going to let someone else in your niche be the first to monetize it this way.
