The Hidden Cost of Manual Content Curation

Let’s be real: if you’re manually curating content for newsletters, you’re probably spending 70% of your time cleaning up messy web content rather than actually curating. Between ads, pop-ups, broken layouts, and inconsistent formatting, turning web articles into newsletter-ready content feels like digital archaeology.

Common time-wasters include:

  • Reformatting text from different sources
  • Removing promotional content
  • Standardizing fonts and styles
  • Fixing broken paragraphs
  • Managing multiple browser tabs
  • Tracking source attributions
