If you're a small business, you know the pain:
- You want to stay top-of-mind with your audience.
- You want to show up regularly in their inbox.
- But you don’t have a content team. You barely have time to breathe.
Enter: Generative AI.
No, not to write spammy, generic newsletters that scream “ChatGPT wrote this!”
But to help you build a useful, warm, and consistent monthly newsletter, something that actually brings value and keeps people coming back.
Here’s how you do it.
Step 1: Choose Your Newsletter Theme
Before touching any AI tool, decide what kind of newsletter you’re sending. Pick one core theme and stick to it. A few options:
- Curated Insights: Share top industry news + your take
- Behind the Scenes: Share monthly updates, wins, challenges
- Educational: Teach something useful every month
- Product Highlights: Share new features, best use cases
Prompt Example:
“Act as a content strategist for a [type of business]. Suggest 3 strong monthly newsletter themes that are useful and engaging for my target audience of [X].”
Step 2: Build a Simple Newsletter Structure
Keep it simple and repeatable. Most great newsletters follow a structure like:
- Intro note from you
- 1–2 main pieces of content (tips, stories, product news, etc.)
- 1 link or CTA
- Optional: spotlight, customer story, or quote
Don’t overthink. The secret is consistency over complexity.
Prompt Example:
“I want to create a monthly email newsletter for my [industry/type of business]. Suggest a structure with 3–5 repeatable sections, each with a short explanation.”
Step 3: Draft the Core Content with AI
Use Gen-AI to get your first draft. But don’t copy-paste blindly. Your voice matters.
Use a prompt like this:
“Write a warm, conversational intro paragraph for our June newsletter. I want to sound like a friendly small business owner talking to loyal customers. Mention summer, slower routines, and a recent product update.”
Then generate:
- Tips or insights
- Customer story summaries
- Mini blog summaries with a link to read more
Want to reuse your blog?
“Summarize this blog post into a 3-sentence teaser for a newsletter. Add a friendly CTA to read more.”
Step 4: Add Personality and Polish
This is where you come in.
- Rewrite the intro to sound like you.
- Add any small updates from your team (new hire, funny story, customer win)
- Keep it short. No essays. No 10-section monster emails.
Remember: it should feel like a friend writing to a friend — not a brand shouting at a subscriber.
Step 5: Create the Email Format
- Use Gen-AI to convert your content into a neat format:
“Turn this newsletter draft into a clean email layout with headers, emojis, and a clear CTA at the end.”
Step 6: Subject Line + CTA
This is where AI shines. Try 3–5 subject lines and pick the best one.
Prompt:
“Suggest 5 subject lines for a monthly newsletter from a [business type] that includes [topic highlights]. Tone should be friendly and casual.”
Also try:
“Suggest 3 CTA lines to encourage people to reply to this newsletter or check out our blog/product.”
Step 7: Test and Send
Don’t worry about perfection.
- Send to a small test group.
- Ask a friend to read and give feedback.
- Refine next month. It’s a cycle.
Pro Tips for Staying Consistent
- Block 1 hour every month for your newsletter. That’s it.
