Hey there Digital Writers!

I've built 2 newsletters to 6 figures in revenue.

Between Category Pirates and Write With AI, I’ve written 500+ issues—sometimes 2 or 3 deep dives in a single week. I couldn't have kept up without a flexible template that saved me hours on every post.

These are the 7 sections that I mix and match in every newsletter I write::

  1. Intro

  2. Curated List

  3. Sponsor Spot

  4. Deep Dive

  5. Conclusion

  6. Poll

  7. P.S.

Today, I’m going to show you how you can put these same building blocks to work for your newsletter with the help of AI. In each section, I'll give you a template to follow. Then, at the end, we'll put it all together into one mega-prompt you can use to generate a complete newsletter draft in minutes.

Let’s begin with Section #1.

Section #1: The Opener

Start your newsletter with a punchy opener that sets the tone for the rest of the post.

If the first line doesn’t grab your reader’s attention, they’ll be quick to move on to the next email in your inbox. Use a question, a strong opinion, or a striking contrast. The goal is to grab attention and give readers a reason to keep scrolling.

Template:

Hey there,

{1 Sentence Strong Opinion opener}

{3-5 Sentences Elaborate On Problems and why they should listen to you}

{1 Sentence Transition To “What We’re Going To Talk About Today”}

{3 succinct bullets}

{Quick segue sentence}

Note: You can use each template in this newsletter with your favorite AI tool (like Claude or ChatGPT). All you have to do is add your topic and run the prompt.

For example:

Section #2: Curated Links, Tools, Or Resources

Give your readers an easy way to access the best content on your topic without doing the research themselves.

Gather up:

  • Links

  • Audience case studies

  • Your best posts from prior issues

  • Books, Podcasts, Tools, YouTube Videos

Your readers come for the deep dive section, but this section is bonus value for reading.

Keep it relevant and short.
