Why “List More, Earn More” Is the Future of Online Directories
Online directories are undergoing a major transformation. What used to be labor-intensive processes—repairing links, cold-emailing founders, requesting submissions—can now be fully automated. If you’re running a online directory, whether niche or general, now is the time to unlock recurring revenue and scalable growth using automation.
Welcome to the era of “List More, Earn More”. The more listings you add to your directory, the more traffic, backlinks, and trust you generate. And with the right automation tools, you can make that process seamless without growing a team or spending countless hours on outreach.
The Challenge: Manual Outreach Doesn’t Scale
Most directory owners are solo founders, indie hackers, or side hustle entrepreneurs managing everything from UX to email campaigns. Trying to personally reach hundreds of founders on platforms like Product Hunt isn’t just exhausting—it’s ineffective.
Each day, over 50 new products launch on Product Hunt. Most directories miss out on this goldmine because they lack the bandwidth for timely, personalized outreach. As a result, awesome up-and-coming startups get listed elsewhere or worse—nowhere.
And Why That’s a Missed Opportunity
- Product Hunt founders are incredibly eager for visibility and backlinks—your directory is a win-win for them.
- Early outreach opens the door to long-term relationships and repeat submissions.
- The faster you list new tools, the fresher and more trusted your directory appears.
The Solution: Automate Outreach and Focus on Growth
Nurturing Mails is built for directory owners who want to scale smarter, not harder. Imagine having a consistent stream of personalized outreach happening automatically—every single day—while you focus on building your brand or launching your next project.

2. Increasing Paid Submissions
Managing hundreds of emails a week is impossible for one person. Why not let automation handle it? Reach hundreds of potential customers weekly without hiring a sales team. Visit the Pricing page to choose the best plan for your submission volume.
3. Improving SEO Through Fresh Content
- New submissions equal fresh pages
- Founders link back to your directory, improving your backlinks

SEO is a byproduct of continuously adding high-quality listings. Tools like NurturingMail help feed that loop.
4. Launching a Directory from Scratch
Starting from zero? No problem. With NurturingMail, your outreach begins on Day One. Start building authority even before your traffic builds up. New Product Hunt founders are actively searching for visibility—meet them at the right moment.
5. Scaling Multiple Directories
If you’re managing multiple directories, managing outreach can quickly become chaotic. NurturingMail allows you to automate outreach across different categories, products, and offerings, saving hours of manual communication.
6. Testing New Niches
Thinking of launching a directory for Web3, AI agents, or bootstrapped tools? Use NurturingMail to validate your idea. Target specific Product Hunt tags to see founder engagement before fully developing a new vertical.
How Other Directory Owners Are Winning With Automation
Project creators using automation tools are finding tremendous success in building profitable directories. Here are a few examples:
- UNO Directory—A sleek, regularly updated list of top-notch tools curated across niches. Their fast listing turnaround means users keep visiting.
- Aura++—Showcasing tools in the wellness and productivity arena, this project reached scale through consistent email outreach.
- Praneet Brar—An indie hacker and developer providing insights and tools, including directories benefiting from high-quality automation.
Many of these creators use automation platforms like NurturingMail to silently scale in the background while building community and content in the foreground.
Why Timing Matters: Catch Founders at Their Peak Receptiveness
When a startup launches on Product Hunt, that’s their big day—traffic surges, feedback rolls in, adrenaline flows. It’s the most open-minded and reachable moment for a founder. Your message lands right when they’re most likely to say “yes.”
Your email says congratulations, not “buy now.” That grace opens a conversation that not only results in a submission but a new ally in your directory’s mission.
The Future of Directory Revenue: Automate, Optimize, Expand
As directory ecosystems grow, being early isn’t enough—you have to be strategic. Manual methods are fine for hobbyists, but entrepreneurs building real businesses know automation is key.
Set up your system so it runs without you, bringing new value week after week. Let software scale your reach while you scale your revenue.
