Implementation Steps
- 1
Define newsletter format and sections
Create repeatable structure: intro hook, 3-5 curated items, 1 deep dive, 1 tool recommendation, 1 CTA.
- 2
Source and summarize content
Feed 20-30 articles per week. Generate 2-3 sentence summaries with original take appended to each.
- 3
Write the deep dive section
Pick the most interesting topic. Generate 400-600 word analysis with data points, contrarian angle, and actionable takeaway.
- 4
Add personalization and segmentation
Create variant intro paragraphs for 2-3 subscriber segments based on interest or industry tags.
- 5
Edit, format, and send
Human editor ensures voice consistency. Add images, formatting, and sponsor sections. Send via Beehiiv, Substack, or ConvertKit.
Expected Metrics
Ehsan's Recommendation
Newsletters are the highest-leverage content channel for personal brands. Claude reduces production from a full day to 2 hours — but the 2 hours of human editing is non-negotiable. Subscribers can smell AI-generated newsletters instantly. The trick: use AI for curation and summarization, write the intro and deep dive yourself. That ratio (80% AI scaffolding, 20% human voice) maintains authenticity while scaling output.
