You might be asking yourself: “Can ChatGPT write my newsletter?”
The answer is yes.
Newsletters are the hidden profit lever creators pull to generate money on demand.
However, writing a weekly newsletter can take a bunch of time and bandwidth.
Especially when you’re wrestling with a full-time job.
Today, I’m lifting the veil on a game-changing strategy to get your newsletter from brain to inbox in just 5 minutes.
We’ll use ChatGPT (but not in a boring way).
You can either read the article, or watch the video:
Each piece of content is a combination of two things: an idea and an angle.
Your angle is not just what you say; it’s how you say it. It’s the lens through which you present your idea. An idea can be flat, but an angle makes it three-dimensional.
Imagine you’re a chef.
Your idea is the meat, the vegetable, and the thing on the plate. The angle is how you cook it—grilled, sautéed, or deep-fried. You can serve chicken a hundred ways, but a grilled Cajun chicken speaks differently than a deep-fried one.
See the difference?
Now, let’s see how ChatGPT can help you with that.
Use this prompt:
I'm writing an email newsletter for [INSERT AUDIENCE HERE].
The newsletter has to be educational and entertaining, and readable in 5 minutes or less.
Your role is to help me come up with angles I can use to share my ideas.
Each newsletter is a combination of angle + idea. The angle is the way I'm going to talk about the idea.
Please give me 10 content angles I can use for my newsletter.You’ve got your angle, something that’ll make your momma proud—or at least, slightly interested.
So what’s next? Your idea.
Your idea is the meat of your content; it’s what you want to say.
An idea can be as simple as sharing the latest trends in your industry or as complex as decoding the human genome. Seriously, it doesn’t have to be rocket science — unless you’re an astrophysicist.
Then maybe.
Your idea answers the ‘what’ while your angle answers the ‘how.’
Want to talk about email marketing? That’s your idea.
Want to tear down every misconception about it with cutting humor? That’s your angle. Put the two together, and what do you get? A newsletter that’s more engaging than a thriller movie with a plot twist.
Use this ChatGPT prompt:
I'm writing an email newsletter for [INSERT AUDIENCE HERE].
The newsletter has to be educational and entertaining, and readable in 5 minutes or less.
Please give me 10 specific topic ideas that are highly likely to resonate with the audience and either show them how to achieve a specific goal or get rid of a specific problem.
The key is specificity. It has to feel like you've been spying on their diary.Come up with an outline
An outline is the skeleton that gives your newsletter form and function.
You wouldn’t build a house without a blueprint, right? Oh, you would? Enjoy living in a shoebox.
An outline is your game plan, your roadmap. It’s the list your significant other gives you before you’re unleashed in a supermarket.
Let’s see how ChatGPT can help:
I'm writing an email newsletter for [INSERT AUDIENCE HERE].
The newsletter has to be educational and entertaining, and readable in 5 minutes or less.
The topic of the newsletter is this:
[INSERT TOPIC]
And the angle is this:

Time to write.
Here’s where ChatGPT can swoop in like a superhero in a cape (again!)
First, let ChatGPT analyze your writing style. Drop a few lines of your writing, and this AI will dissect it like a high school biology experiment.

Use this prompt:
