Email Newsletter Builder

Write a newsletter your subscribers actually want to read.

Good newsletters are consistent in format, varied in content, and feel personal. This workflow helps you build a repeatable structure, generate ideas you'll actually be excited to write, and draft the actual content efficiently.

The Workflow

1

Design your newsletter format

The best newsletters have a consistent structure that readers come to expect. Design yours before you start filling it.

PromptNewsletter Format Designer

Help me design a recurring newsletter format I can sustain. Newsletter purpose: [NEWSLETTER_PURPOSE] Target audience: [AUDIENCE] My niche or expertise: [NICHE] How often I want to send: [FREQUENCY] Time I can realistically spend writing each issue: [TIME_PER_ISSUE] Newsletters I admire: [NEWSLETTER_INSPIRATIONS] Suggest: 1. A repeating structure with 3-5 sections (e.g., one idea, one tool, one prompt, one link) 2. A name for each section that matches my brand 3. Approximate word count for each section 4. Which section should be the hardest to skip 5. What subject line formula I should test for open rates

Replace: [NEWSLETTER_PURPOSE], [AUDIENCE], [NICHE], [FREQUENCY], [TIME_PER_ISSUE], [NEWSLETTER_INSPIRATIONS]

Pro tips
  • Write the personal section first. It's the hardest to delegate to AI and the reason people subscribe.
  • Ask AI to rewrite one section in a 'warmer' or 'more casual' tone if the draft feels formal. Small tone adjustments make a big difference in newsletters.
