Monetization:
Charging customers a fee per list or batch of emails tested, turning manual validation into a profitable service before building expensive automated systems.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
Offers immediate, affordable proof-of-concept validation with no upfront automation costs, helping founders de-risk product ideas before full development.
Launch Strategy:
Start by offering manual email testing as a freelance or agency service, promote it through targeted marketing channels, and gather data from initial users to validate demand and refine the process.
