Newsletter Content Mix and Frequency Audit
Audit a run of past newsletters for topic balance, repeated ideas, length and reader value, then plan a cleaner editorial mix.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.
I want an honest audit of my newsletter. It is called [NEWSLETTER_NAME], it goes to [READER_TYPE], and it is sent [FREQUENCY]. I will paste the subject lines and a one-line summary of each of my last [NUMBER_OF_ISSUES] issues, with the click or reply counts if known: [ISSUE_LIST]. The promise of the newsletter, as I describe it to readers, is: [NEWSLETTER_PROMISE]. Analyse: 1) A table listing each issue with the columns Issue, Main topic, Type (teaching, news, story, promotion, link roundup), Number of asks, and Fit with the promise (strong, partial, weak). 2) The percentage of issues of each type and the percentage with a sales ask, with the arithmetic. 3) Repeated topics or phrases across issues. 4) Whether the frequency suits the amount of real content; suggest a different cadence only if the evidence supports it. 5) A proposed mix for the next 8 issues with a one-line brief for each, plus a rule of thumb such as a maximum share of promotion. Rules: use only the summaries given. If engagement numbers are few, say that patterns are tentative. Do not invent subscriber behaviour or industry averages. Do not rewrite full issues. Mark any claim about deliverability or platform features [VERIFY]. Finish with a short list of questions I should ask readers in a survey, no more than five.
