Rabbit Hole #4: The Aggregator Business Model
Get paid for hoarding?
The aggregator business model comes in many shapes and sizes and provides value to both sides of the model. Aggregators bring together products, services or information in a convenient experience for the customer.
Here are some of my favorite 👇
1. SponsorLeads by @stephankaag makes finding sponsors for your newsletter easy.
By monitoring active newsletters sponsors and their contact details, customers can save time and effort researching and focus on creating quality content worth sponsoring.
An awesome thing about this business is that it originated from a post from @thisiskp_!
You never know where an idea can come from but following interesting people is a great source of inspiration.
@stephankaag does great to execute this in his own style which even @thisiskp_ appreciates.
2. OnlyFinder by Joseph Mambwe helps users find models by location, category and other filters.
OnlyFinder is a great example of riding the wave of OnlyFans by improving on the limitations of the platform and giving them another way to be discovered.
Given the revenue models can bring in by being discovered on sites like this, it's quite clear how lucrative it can be to have many models and agencies pay to be promoted.
3. Page Flows by @ramykhuffash (now acquired) brings together the best practices of user flows from proven products.
They say you shouldn't reinvent the wheel and what better way is there than learning from how the best in the world do it?
4. 1000.tools by @dgut_ is an exclusive, carefully vetted list with the aim of bringing more traffic to awesome tools.
It has been popping off lately and has even received angel investment from fellow builder @MrNick_Buzz.
1000.tools is a great example of a simple idea with excellent execution.
Visiting users can find carefully vetted tools on a clean site with exclusive deals.
Customers will get traffic from users who are interested in paying for tools that will solve their problems.
I would love to know what your favorite are, so let me know at @indiehackerman!
