Paragraph

Writers who want to get paid for a newsletter without handing their audience over to a social platform are the people Paragraph is built for.

Paragraph is a newsletter platform that lets you publish, grow and monetize your writing, with token-gated access as its main hook.

You can restrict posts to holders of specific NFTs or ERC20 tokens, so ownership of a token decides who reads what.

Monetization comes in a few forms: collectible posts, memberships, and recurring subscriptions paid in fiat currency.

That last one matters if your readers are not all crypto natives.

Readers can subscribe with an email address or a wallet, and the appeal is that you keep ownership of both your audience and your writing instead of renting followers from someone else's feed.

The editor includes writing assistance powered by GPT4, which is handy for drafts and rewrites.

As a blockchain-oriented newsletter tool, Paragraph makes the most sense if token-based access or web3 communities are part of your plan.

If you only want a plain email newsletter, much of it will go unused.
