AI Newsletter Starter
Not just "start a newsletter" advice: a real name, format, and 3 issues already drafted. Just enter topic, audience, cadence.
How It Works
Describe your niche, target audience, and how much time you can commit weekly. The kit returns a positioning statement, a repeatable issue format (so you're never starting from a blank page), and three drafted issues to launch with.
What to Provide
| Input | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Niche/topic | What the newsletter is about |
| Audience | Who it's for, specifically |
| Time available | Hours per week you can commit |

|---|---|---|
| Hook | One sentence that earns the open | 1 line |
| Main content | [[Your core format: links, essay, analysis]] | [[X words]] |

Worked Examples
Example 1: B2B SaaS Founder Niche
Positioning: "3 tactical things B2B SaaS founders did this week that actually worked."
Format: 3 short case studies + 1 actionable takeaway each, 5-minute read.
Example 2: Personal Finance for Freelancers
Positioning: "The money newsletter for people whose income isn't the same every month."
Format: One deep-dive topic per issue + a reader question answered.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- A niche too broad to differentiate from every other newsletter in the space
- No repeatable format, so every issue starts from a blank page
- Publishing before drafting 2-3 issues ahead: burnout hits fast without a buffer
- No clear CTA at the end of each issue (reply, share, forward)
- Inconsistent cadence: better to commit to biweekly and hit it than promise weekly and miss
Launch with 3 issues in the bank so you have breathing room before issue 4 is due.
