How to build a monthly newsletter from what actually happened that month

The crew assembles each issue from your month's posts, launches and news, holds it for your sign-off, and sends the approved issue through Constant Contact.

Content Crew

When you need this

Your list keeps growing but the newsletter goes out whenever someone finds a spare afternoon, which is rarely.

How the crew does it

  1. Gather the month

    Content Crew

    The crew collects what you published, shipped and announced during the month, from your site, social posts and source docs.

  2. Draft the issue

    Content Crew

    It writes a subject line, preview text and an issue built around the few things your readers should know.

  3. Check voice and claims

    Content Crew

    The Brand Crew reviews the issue before it reaches you.

  4. Approve the issue and the list

    You

    You edit the issue, choose the Constant Contact list or segment, and approve the send.

  5. Send through Constant Contact

    Content Crew

    The approved issue sends to the list you chose, and campaign results come back for the next issue.

What waits for you

The issue content, the subject line, the recipient list or segment, and the send itself.
