About TopCurator

Turn what you actually know into a recommendation business.

What we do

A platform for expert-curated recommendation lists that are honest and maintained. A curator builds lists in their domain with real reasoning, including what not to buy and why, updates them as products change, and discloses every commercial relationship automatically and prominently. Readers can see the curator's actual credentials and history in the domain. Revenue comes from affiliate commerce with the rule that recommendations are made before commercial terms are checked, plus paid memberships for curators whose audiences want deeper access.

Who we built it for

  • Experts in a narrow domain

    People with genuine expertise in gear, tools, books, software or ingredients who currently give recommendations away free in forums and communities.

  • Their audiences

    Readers who trust a curator and want to tell an expert recommendation apart from search-optimised filler.

The problem

Genuine expertise in specific product categories is enormously valuable to buyers and almost entirely unmonetised.

The experts answer the same questions in communities for free while affiliate content farms with no expertise rank above them and capture the commerce.

Buyers meanwhile cannot tell an expert recommendation from search-optimised filler.

Try it before anything else

The free curator earnings calculator runs in your browser with no account. Put in your clicks, buyers and commission rate, and see what your recommendations would earn and what you keep. Open it.

The one promise

The free tool on this site is genuinely free and genuinely useful. It does not withhold the answer behind an email form, it does not degrade after a trial, and it does not exist to harvest your data. If it helps you and you never pay us, that is a fine outcome.

What could the recommendations you already give earn?

Put in how many readers click your recommendations, how many buy, the order value and the retailer's commission. See the affiliate revenue each month and what you keep after the 15 percent platform share. Runs in your browser. No account, no card, no call.
