How to Use Claude for Writing a Newsletter
The exact prompt, setup, and codes to get great results.
The Problem
Newsletters need to be valuable enough to open, short enough to read, and interesting enough to share. Most creators stare at a blank doc for hours every week.
The Prompt (Copy & Paste)
Write a newsletter edition about [TOPIC] for my audience of [AUDIENCE DESCRIPTION]. Newsletter style: [CURATED LINKS / ESSAY / TUTORIAL / NEWS ROUNDUP] Tone: [CASUAL / PROFESSIONAL / WITTY] Length: [TARGET WORD COUNT] Content to include: [PASTE YOUR NOTES, LINKS, OR KEY POINTS] Rules: - Subject line: Under 50 chars, curiosity-driven, no ALL CAPS - Preview text: Complements (doesn't repeat) the subject line - Opening: Jump straight into value or a story — no "Happy Monday!" preamble - Structure: Clear sections with headers if over 300 words - Each section should have a "so what" — why should the reader care? - End with one specific CTA (reply, click, share) - Include 1-2 personal observations — readers subscribe for YOUR perspective
Replace the [BRACKETED] placeholders with your specific details.
What You Get
A newsletter draft that's ready to send after light editing. The structure keeps readers scrolling, the tone matches your voice, and the CTA is clear.
