The 6 prompts

1
Prompt 1 of 6

Find your niche and angle

Pin down a niche specific enough to stand out but big enough to grow.

The prompt
Act as a newsletter strategist. Help me find a winning niche.

My rough niche idea: [Your newsletter niche]
Who I want to help: [Who it helps]
How I might eventually make money: [SPONSORS / PRODUCT / SERVICES / COURSE]

Give me:
1. 3 specific niche angles (sharper than my idea above)
2. For each: the audience, why it can grow, and how it monetizes
3. The unique POV only I can credibly bring
4. Your recommended pick and why
💡

Pro tip: Niche down harder than feels comfortable. A clear reader makes every later decision easier.

Prompt 2 of 6

Name it and write the pitch

A memorable name and a one-line pitch that makes people subscribe.

The prompt
For this newsletter niche: [Your newsletter niche], serving [Who it helps].
My current name idea (may be blank): [Newsletter name (optional)]

Give me:
1. 10 newsletter name ideas (mix of clever, descriptive, and brandable) — note the vibe of each
2. Check each name is easy to spell and say out loud
3. A one-sentence pitch / tagline for the top 3 names
4. A 2-3 sentence "about" blurb for the subscribe page that makes the value obvious

Flag your single favorite name + tagline combo and why it wins.
💡

Pro tip: Say each name out loud. If it feels awkward to say "I write a newsletter called ___", cut it.

Prompt 3 of 6

Design your content pillars

Decide what you will actually write each week so you never face a blank page.

The prompt
Help me design the content engine for my newsletter:
Niche: [Your newsletter niche]
Audience: [Who it helps]
Cadence: [WEEKLY / BIWEEKLY]

Give me:
1. 4-5 content pillars (recurring themes) that fit my niche and reader
2. A repeatable issue format/template (sections in order)
3. 20 specific issue ideas mapped to the pillars
4. 3 "signature" recurring segments that build a habit (e.g. a weekly tip, a curated link, a reader Q&A)
💡

Pro tip: A fixed issue template turns "what do I write?" into "fill in the blanks" and keeps you consistent.

4
Prompt 4 of 6

Write the welcome email sequence

The first emails new subscribers get — set the tone and build the habit.

The prompt
Write a 3-email welcome sequence for new subscribers of [Newsletter name (optional)] (a newsletter about [Your newsletter niche] for [Who it helps]).

What readers get: [VALUE]
My story / why I started it: [BRIEF BACKGROUND]

Sequence:
- Email 1 (instant): warm welcome, set expectations (what & when), deliver a quick win
- Email 2 (Day 2): my story + the best thing I've ever published (link placeholder)
- Email 3 (Day 4): invite a reply ("hit reply and tell me ___") to boost deliverability and connection

Conversational and personal. Each under 200 words.
💡

Pro tip: Asking new subscribers to hit reply trains inbox providers to treat you as a real contact — a simple deliverability boost.

5
Prompt 5 of 6

Draft your first issue

Use your template and pillars to write a complete, ready-to-send first issue.

The prompt
Write the first full issue of my newsletter [Newsletter name (optional)].

Issue format/template: [PASTE TEMPLATE FROM STEP 3]
Topic for issue #1: [PICK ONE IDEA FROM STEP 3]
Reader: [Who it helps]

Deliver:
- Subject line + preview text (3 options)
- The full issue following my template
- A clear CTA
- A P.S. line that adds personality or a nudge to share

Make it genuinely useful on its own — issue #1 sets the bar.
💡

Pro tip: Make issue #1 something you would proudly link to forever — early subscribers judge whether to stay based on this one send.

6
Prompt 6 of 6

Build a 0-to-1,000 growth plan

A concrete, no-budget plan to get your first 1,000 subscribers.

The prompt
Create a realistic plan to get my first 1,000 subscribers for [Newsletter name (optional)] with little/no ad budget.

Niche: [Your newsletter niche]
Where my audience ([Who it helps]) already hangs out: [PLATFORMS / COMMUNITIES]
Time I can commit weekly: [HOURS]

Give me:
1. 5 zero-cost acquisition channels ranked by effort vs payoff for my niche
2. A weekly promotion routine I can actually sustain
3. 3 collaboration / cross-promo tactics (and how to pitch them)
4. The 2-3 metrics to watch and a rough 90-day milestone target
💡

Pro tip: Pick ONE or two channels and go deep for 90 days. Spreading across every platform at launch is the fastest way to burn out.

Frequently asked questions

Niche down harder than feels comfortable. "Marketing for solo SaaS founders" beats "marketing tips" — a sharp, specific reader makes every later decision (topics, name, growth channels) far easier. Prompt 1 helps you find that angle.
