Hi Reader

I send a newsletter to my list every day.

I spend 15-30 minutes writing a newsletter in the morning using a Markdown app. I write while wearing noise-cancelling headphones, drinking tea and listening to ambient music like Brian Eno.

Then, I schedule my email and move on with client work, a workout or another creative project.

If I'm travelling or busy, I write a few emails in one go and schedule them in advance.

Like last week. I went to Portugal for an Ironman. I spent a few months training for this big race, but I didn't want to break my streak. So, I wrote a batch of emails before I got on the plane.

It didn't take too long.

You see, like many creators, I've a mortal fear of a flashing cursor and a white screen. So, I keep a library packed with 100s of ideas and stories for my newsletter.

I add ideas and notes to my library every day. That way, I never run out of ideas to write about.

I don't bother with fancy templates or designs for my newsletter. I tested a few templates, and plain text works just fine.

Here's the thing about writing daily emails:

Readers care about the ideas and the person behind the email, not the look and feel of your email. Leave the templates and fancy designs to the marketers behind boring big brands.

I write a daily newsletter because I like practicing in public. It forces me to clarify my thoughts, and it's more rewarding than trying to reverse-engineer viral shorts on Instagram or TikTok.

Writing a newsletter gives me content for the week for my socials. I get more chances to figure out what my audience wants and make relevant offers. All of that means more Stripe payment received notifications.

Money aside, writing a newsletter compounds over time, and you can iterate as you end up with a huge library of newsletters.

I'm surprised more creators and business owners don't take writing a newsletter seriously.

It's the easiest way to earn money from content and build an audience of fans.

I'm surprised, but I know why they aren't prioritizing running a newslett4er built around a personal brand.

Running a newsletter isn't as sexy as growing an account on Insta or X. The lure of social media followers, likes and shares triggers a sugary dopamine rush.

And many creators and business owners find the idea of writing every day off-putting. They say things like:

"What will I write about? How will I know what to say? Shouldn't I just use AI or send a link to a blog post"
