How this newsletter planner printable makes every issue easier
Decide once who you are writing for, what you want the newsletter to achieve, how often it goes out and how it should sound. Choose four content pillars and stock the ideas bank with 21 topics, and a blank draft will never hold you up again. Every issue then gets a page of its own: three possible subject lines, the preview text, each section in order, one clear call to action and the links, with a calm checklist to run through before sending.
Map out a five part welcome series and a freebie that attracts new readers, then write your subscriber count, open rate and click rate into blank fields to see what resonates. Any email service will do.
