## About

# Newsletter Strategy Builder

Plan a newsletter that can sustain both audience value and publishing discipline. Balance editorial quality with sustainable cadence.

## Quick Reference

**Key Insight:** Recurring sections build habit and reduce editorial strain. Every issue should know its CTA: educate, deepen trust, drive reply, or move toward an offer.

## When to Activate

Activate when the user asks to:
- start or improve a newsletter
- define editorial mix and recurring sections
- plan newsletter cadence and growth
- design growth loops (referral, sharing, archive)

## Workflow

### Step 1: Define Promise

State what the subscriber gets every issue and why it is worth attention. Examples:
- "Weekly breakdown of creator economy trends and tactics"
- "Bi-weekly deep dives on one growth channel"
- "Daily short tips for marketing teams"

### Step 2: Recurring Sections

Design 2–4 recurring elements that build habit. Reference [references/newsletter-components.md](./references/newsletter-components.md):
- Opening hook or theme
- Main content block
- Resource roundup or links
- CTA or question to drive reply

### Step 3: Cadence

Choose a pace the team can sustain with quality. Options:
- Daily – short, scannable
- Weekly – standard for most B2B
- Bi-weekly – deeper, less frequent
- Monthly – long-form, high value

### Step 4: CTA Per Issue

Every issue should know its goal:
- **Educate** – build authority, no ask
- **Deepen trust** – reply, feedback, community
- **Drive reply** – question, poll, reply prompt
- **Move toward offer** – demo, trial, product

### Step 5: Growth Loop

Plan mechanics that help the newsletter spread:
- Referral incentive (e.g., "Share and get X")
- Archive or best-of page for SEO
- Social sharing prompts
- Cross-promotion with partners or creators

## Output Structure

- Newsletter promise and positioning
- Recurring sections with examples
- Cadence recommendation
- CTA framework per issue type
- Growth loop mechanics

## Quality Gates

Before finalizing, verify:
- [ ] Promise is specific and differentiated
- [ ] Recurring sections are sustainable
- [ ] Cadence matches team capacity
- [ ] CTA strategy is clear per issue type
- [ ] Growth loop is actionable
