Email Cleaning and Organization
People are busy and hate to see being spammed with emails. While users can still unsubscribe the emails by looking for the links at the bottom, it takes time, and not every email sender honors the unsubscribe. Other ways to avoid spam are by tagging the domain or user as spam or by blocking the contact from sending you emails. There is a better way to do this. Puzzled if you could build a business out of this? See LeaveMeAlone making a profitable venture out of this. CleanFox and UnrollMe are other players to watch out for in this space. To add more revenue, provide an add-on that creates an automated digest from the emails that users don’t want to receive every day. Add the spam emails (based on certain spam indicators or spam score) automatically to a weekly/monthly digest and send them to the user every week/month.

Micro SaaS for Email Verification
Email verification is crucial in all types of email campaigns, be it cold outreach or regular promotions. It serves as a vital step to validate the authenticity of signed-up users. Skipping email verification checks poses risks by potentially harming the email server's reputation. This damage often leads to emails getting flagged as spam, adversely affecting deliverability rates and overall campaign success. Verifying emails not only ensures a genuine audience but also safeguards against damaging the sender's credibility, improving the chances of reaching the intended recipients' inboxes. Most SaaS products also provide API feature to email verification on the fly. These APIs can automate the process, swiftly confirming the validity of email addresses, integrating seamlessly into existing systems, ensuring real-time checks and scalability as user bases expand. ZeroBounce and Proofy are some examples of products in this space. Proofy has an estimated annual revenue is $580K.
