Reminder: First Crash Course Is Today!
Hey everyone, Seth from Curated Success here.
I just wanted to remind you that we’re launching a new live tutorial series TODAY at 4 p.m. Central. Join me for Curated Crash Course.
This will be a live Zoom meeting that will run every Thursday. Each session will be broken into 2 parts:
1. Curated 101, 4-4:30 p.m. CT
2. Advanced Curated Discussions (Q&A), 4:30-5 p.m. CT
Curated 101 will focus on getting started with Curated and include how to create an account, the different ways to collect links, and a walkthrough of the settings needed to launch a newsletter.
Advanced Curated Discussions will be the time for Q&A. This is the perfect opportunity to ask any questions you have about Curated, newsletter creation, or your specific newsletter.
We can also cover newsletter positioning and strategy during this section if you’re looking for some feedback.
We want this Crash Course to be a come-and-go experience. If you’re already familiar with how Curated works and just want to ask me a question, feel free to join the call after Curated 101. No hard feelings for popping in and out!
Interested? Here’s a link to join and another to add it to your Google Calendar.
I’ll see y’all this afternoon!
P.S. If you can’t make it you can always check out these super fancy Getting Started with Curated tutorial videos.

An Interesting Approach To Co-authoring
The Brand New Voices Newsletter Launch Challenge has been really amazing. We're almost done with week two! A small group of us are deep diving into what we want our newsletters to be and the conversations are helping us shape those ideas.
In the process, Seth Morris has been teaching the group to use Curated to build whatever type of newsletter you want, and showed off some inspiring newsletters to get the creative juices flowing. One of those happened to be Mark as Read, which is published by his brother Calvin, our product manager (yes, our team takes the act like family thing very seriously).
I wanted to share with you their reaction to the partner approach this newsletter takes because the challenge group really loved it and reminded us how nice it is. Calvin and Brian each draft commentary for the links they include in issues. You get two points of view, which sometimes feels like you’re back in lit class discussing your response to a selected reading. Or is that just me?
We’ve been discussing how collaborative newsletters can be a new form of community and as a group we're going to create a private newsletter to test some things out. I’ll keep you posted as that comes along.
Why is it so easy to bring in multiple voices in Curated?
Every account comes with unlimited newsletters and unlimited users. That means you can add people to specific publications. Maybe they just collect links. Maybe they collect them and add commentary. Maybe they drive the editorial process. You decide who does what.
Learn how to add users and give them permissions here.
Extra: Seth created this checklist for the challenge that might help any of you who are trying to launch on Curated right now.
