Your weekly guide to local summer activities for kids
A weekly email newsletter that curates the best summer events for families in a specific city or region. Each issue highlights 5-7 handpicked activities including festivals, storytimes, outdoor movies, and more. Content is organized by age group and neighborhood. Revenue from small local sponsorships and affiliate links (e.g., event tickets). No physical products, no inventory. Built with free or low-cost tools (Mailchimp free tier, Canva for graphics, Google Sheets for planning). The business is designed to be run part-time (5-15 hours/week) and is beginner-friendly with no specialized skills required.
Post-pandemic, families are prioritizing local, affordable activities. Summer is peak season for events, and parents crave curated, time-saving resources. A newsletter fills this gap with minimal startup cost.
Choose a target city (e.g., your own metro area) and set up a free Mailchimp account with a signup form.
