Newsletter & Creator Pack
A complete automation suite for content creators and newsletter operators.
Handles the four workflows that directly drive revenue — without hiring a team.
When to use this skill
Use this skill when the user asks about any of the following:
- Repurposing a newsletter, blog post, or video into other formats
- Writing cold outreach to potential sponsors
- Re-engaging subscribers who haven't opened in 30–90 days
- Analyzing which content is performing and why
- Writing subject lines that get opened
- Turning a single piece of content into a week's worth of posts
Workflow 1: Content Repurposing Engine
Take one piece of content and turn it into a full week of distribution.
Input
- The original content (newsletter issue, blog post, video transcript, or podcast notes)
- The creator's primary platform (newsletter, YouTube, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok)
- Tone: professional / casual / educational / entertaining
Output — 7 assets from 1 piece of content
- Twitter/X thread — 5–8 tweets, hook tweet first, ends with CTA
- LinkedIn post — 150–250 words, professional framing, 3–5 line breaks for readability
- Short-form video script — 45–60 seconds, hook in first 3 words, for TikTok/Reels/Shorts
- Email subject line variants — 5 options (curiosity, benefit, question, number, bold claim)
- Instagram caption — 100–150 words + 10 relevant hashtags
- Quote graphic text — 3 pull-quote candidates, under 15 words each
- Community/Discord post — casual version for community sharing
Rules
- Maintain the creator's voice — ask for a sample of their writing before generating
- Never water down the insight — the repurposed version should be as valuable as the original
- Each format should feel native to its platform, not copy-pasted
- Refer to references/repurposing-by-platform.md for platform-specific formatting rules
Instructions for the agent
- Ask for the original content and their primary platform
- Ask for 2–3 sentences describing their tone/audience
- Generate all 7 assets
- Ask which formats they want saved to file
Workflow 2: Sponsorship Outreach Generator
Research and write personalized cold outreach to potential newsletter/podcast sponsors.
What to research for each prospect
- Their current advertising channels (are they running newsletter ads?)
- Their target customer (matches your audience?)
- Recent product launches or campaigns
- Estimated budget signals (funded startup vs bootstrapped?)
Email structure
- Subject line: Under 8 words, specific to their business
- Opening: One sentence referencing something specific about them (not generic flattery)
- Pitch: 2–3 sentences — your audience size, demographic, and why it's their customer
- Proof: One data point (open rate, click rate, or a previous sponsor result)
- Ask: Soft CTA — "Would a quick 10-minute call make sense?" not "Buy my ad slot"
- Length: Under 150 words total
Pricing tiers to reference
- Newsletter under 1k subscribers: $50–150/issue
- 1k–5k: $150–500/issue
- 5k–25k: $500–2,000/issue
- 25k+: $2,000–10,000/issue
Instructions for the agent
- Ask for: newsletter name, subscriber count, niche, average open rate
- Ask for up to 5 prospect company names or URLs
- Research each prospect using web search
- Generate one personalized email per prospect
- Generate a follow-up email for each (to send 5 days later if no reply)
Workflow 3: Subscriber Reactivation Campaign
Re-engage subscribers who haven't opened in 30–90 days before they churn.
The reactivation sequence (3 emails)
- Email 1 — "Here's what you missed": Curated best-of digest. Value first, no guilt.
- Email 2 — "Quick question": 1-sentence reply request. "What would make this more useful?" Highest reply rate of any email type.
- Email 3 — "Should I remove you?": Permission-based. Clean your list or win them back.
Rules for Email 3 (the permission email)
- Subject: "Should I remove you from [Newsletter Name]?"
- Body: 3 sentences max. Honest, no manipulation.
- Include one-click re-subscribe confirmation link placeholder
- This email cleans dead weight AND often re-activates 5–15% of lapsed readers
Subject line formulas by email
- Email 1: "The 3 best things from [Newsletter] this month"
- Email 2: "Quick question, {first_name}"
- Email 3: "Should I remove you from [Newsletter Name]?"
Instructions for the agent
- Ask for: newsletter name, niche, top 3 recent posts/topics
- Ask for subscriber first name placeholder preference
- Generate all 3 emails
- Offer to generate 5 subject line variants for each
