Example Prompt

You are drafting a newsletter issue for [client], whose voice is
[describe tone] and whose audience is [describe readers].

Topic: [topic]
Key points to cover: [bullets]
Approved outline: [paste]

Write a 600–800 word issue with a strong opening, scannable sections,
and one clear call to action. Match the client's voice, avoid hype, and
flag anything that needs fact-checking.

Pricing Note

Price per issue or as a monthly retainer covering research, writing, editing, and formatting. Exact rates depend on length, frequency, and research depth, so quote after understanding the client’s needs. Retainers are the goal. They reward your reliability and make income predictable. Avoid promising audience growth or open-rate numbers you can’t control.

Mistakes to Avoid

• Writing in a generic voice. Capture and follow the client’s tone.
• Skipping fact-checking. AI can be confidently wrong.
• Overstuffing issues. One clear idea beats five half-baked ones.
• Promising results you can’t control, like guaranteed open rates.

Honest Expectations

AI makes newsletter production faster, but consistency, clear writing, and trust are what keep clients paying. Your income depends on delivering reliably issue after issue, not on any single tool. There are no guaranteed earnings, start with one client, build a repeatable system, and let consistent results lead to retainers and referrals.
