Reformatting One Newsletter for Every Platform Eats the Day

“So I started a newsletter almost 6 months ago from scratch. I knew nothing about newsletters, although I had a marketing background and the topic was something I am very passionate about. The newsletter is called Wifi Moolah and is in make money online niche. I research on the various nooks and corners of internet and find out interesting ways to make money online and write about them in the newsletter. So far I have written about 80-85 issues and have 3.7k subs and have made $4k in revenue. The”

“I do things that I am curious about even tho it might be useless. I do thing that I am scared to do, or scared that it might not work out I share them in that newsletter. JUST BECAUSE I CAN! My first "just because" mission I have is to share this newsletter to as much people I can. P.S. Also, you can leave some suggestions of "just because" missions I can do. Rule: no harming other people, must cost little to no money to do, must be input based. Let's see how crazy you gu”

“A tool helps, but the bigger fix for a 3-person team is usually batching, not the software. Block one afternoon a week, or once a month, and write everything at once instead of trying to post the day of. That's usually the first thing that slips once things get busy, since nobody's job there is "do social media", it's just squeezed in. Whatever scheduler you land on, load a batch of posts in one sitting rather than adding them daily. If writing time is the real bottleneck,”

“Hi im struggling to create newsletter every month as im not very creative do yo have any tips on this aside from canva. For context the company that im working with involves luxury properties. Any tips please submitted by /u/PointLive5561 [link] [comments]”

“ISO someone with website knowledge or anyone who has an author website that is working well for them! I'm a debut author, I have fulls out with agents BUT I want to promote and grow my newsletter right now too. Mostly because I want to be prepped for self publishing my novel in the case that I don't land an agent. The address is www.authorselaheliasmor.com , I'm aiming for people to need to spend only a few seconds checking it out. Ideally they should immediately know • what my book”

“hello everyone, im looking at starting a newsletter, but there is sooo much information that its actually over stimulating. no idea where / what /how.. any help would be greatly appreciated. where can i sign up and actually get started(free) i would like to start here on Reddit. just as a starting curve. and that its free, easy to use. please any help would be appreciated submitted by /u/Routine_Pass478 [link] [comments]”

“I write a newsletter that breaks down arbitrage concepts and strategies for American founder expats living abroad in 15 countries. The concepts can be quite extensive so what I've done to keep the newsletter short and quick to read is use blog articles to break deeper concepts down or itemize resources and links. So if I'm doing a deep dive on the frameworks it can easily fit but if someone needs more information I included blog links that corresponds to the topic so they can read more i”

“I'm trying to build a potential audience for my fantasy series, but I've only ever done newsletters to promote podcasts and/or blogs in the past. Which platforms do writers use and find works well for them? Some of the ones I'm looking into include: substack, wattpad, and convertkit. For the writers who have built up a following either self-publishing or just promoting their trad-pubbed books, I'd love to hear which ones you find have worked well for you! TIA for your insight and”

“How do you find new content ideas? Ive debated starting a newsletter but coming up with new topics is where i struggle with moving forward. submitted by /u/Special-Election3224 [link] [comments]”

“We are an ecom news platform and every Monday we release our weekly newsletter. We try to focus on things that are interesting to founders, such as new regulations, new fees, dramas in ecom that could help their business, new tools they can use to improve their business, which SKUs might be worthy to focus on and more. Would you take a look at it and tell us where we can improve the newsletter, which points are lacking or which points are overdone? You can take a look at it here: https://ecomwat”

“That's a good point about the news. I guess it's more suited towards blogs, substack newsletters and other media that is similar. Like informed now I could probably create a daily digest card or something.. I haven't really thought about it yet tbh. Dont worry, the algorithim aint happening, there are other places for that lol.”

“The reformatting thing is annoying af.Does it resize images per platform too or just the text part.Does bluesky actually get used or is it just x/linkedin/insta getting the traffic”

“Yeah i tried that route 2. That hard part isn't building it, it's keeping it from becoming noise. People say they want news but what they really want is the 3 things that they actually matter to them that day”

“Man give them a reason to subscribe!! Tease them, hype them up, beg/plead (just kidding) For real though either create a series, tell them you will cover X next week, etc. And it depends upon what type of vids you make- some inherently don't encourage commenting- but have you ever asked? If there is an incentive for someone to comment then they will. If you go against the grain and ask if people agree they will speak up. Just some ideas......”

“The swipe is really satisfying and I do like the side by side, though for me, it might need a font size adjuster and a theme (dark/light). I like it, keep going!”

“Appreciate that. Yeah definitely would need to dial in the smoothness, timing, sensitivity, etc”

“Anyone running their newsletter on Kit? I wanted to ask a question or two if you are ok with DMs. We may be moving from the other platform, due to some really too big to ignore problems! submitted by /u/misophonia [link] [comments]”

“love the quick reply u/Nice_Necessary5227 and for the record I hate options, which is a big part of all the overwhelm. Give me a menu with one page and I am happy. I did I trial of Alitu as it was super easy to use but no video, I actually liked it better than descript tbh! Though I love the social clips Descript makes so ya, none of them are 100% it, that is for sure. How would you say RSS compares to Buzzsprout?”

“Recently, my newsletter is going through a serious recomposition. And while this reddit thread is filled with people gaining tonnes of new followers and growing, here am I talking about how I'm losing followers. Over the past 3 years, I worked hard on creating a following. And in Substack numbers, it's quite decent. I hardly ever monetised it. But the fact behind this growth was that often you need to chase themes to get to a certain level. And then if you do not feed the same theme , it”

“I write an email newsletter on Substack. How do i make people find it and actually build the distribution for it. Also how do you find new newsletters or blogs that you actually want to follow and get updated about submitted by /u/FreshSmoke_2257 [link] [comments]”

“So never experienced this until 1000 subscribers in. I share on social media and People are giving me grief about handing over their email to subscribe and saying things like “why can’t you just let us see it?” Or “why can’t you just post it here- I don’t want to give my email” I know the Naptown newsletter lets people view it openly (but I don’t know if they always did) and mine is hosted on beehiiv so technically I could- but wouldn’t that prevent people from signing up? I’m just confused on w”

“Hey everyone, I’m a graphic designer and independent researcher from Brazil, and I write a Substack newsletter called Newsletra. My main focus is on visual memory, graphic design history, and typography, especially the popular, vernacular or forgotten stuff that often goes unnoticed. It’s definitely not that standard "corporate design tips" or UX/UI tutorials. To give you an idea of the topics, recent editions covered: A deep dive into the graphic design and vernacular typography that”

“For a course in uni (i study typography/graphic design) i made a newsletter. I designed it with html and then basically copy everything into an email in outlook and send it to the people that signed up for it via BCC. It sort of worked the last two times i sent the newsletter even though some people could not receive it (i think because it was flagged because of the html) but somehow not this time. Outllook flags everything i send regardless if i put just two or 10 people as the adressee. Outloo”

“Bootstrapping a bot-free meeting notetaker (records locally, nothing joins the call). Last week three AI newsletters included it within a few days of each other, my biggest traffic week so far. The thing I'm trying not to screw up: these spikes fade fast. For anyone who's had a feature or newsletter bump, what actually converted it into retained users vs. a blip? Onboarding tweaks, a follow-up sequence, a specific activation moment? Disclosure: I'm the founder. Not linking anything,”

“For the longest time I treated "hit send" as the finish line. Spend hours on an issue, ship it, done. Then it clicked that every issue I'd already written was sitting there as five or six more pieces of content, and I was leaving all of it unused because reformatting felt like a second unpaid job. So I worked out a repurposing system. Sharing the whole thing because it runs on nothing but copy-paste, and it changed how much mileage I get out of each send. The core idea: one issue i”

“started my newsletter thinking the hard part would be writing consistently. and yeah that took some getting used to but its not really the problem anymore. the part that actually eats my time is everything around it. repurposing each issue into social posts, making sure its going out across different platforms, keeping up with all the places i've said i'd show up. it adds up fast. feels like for every hour i spend writing i spend another hour just trying to get it in front of people. and”

“I've been thinking about this a lot lately and I'm not sure if it's just me. I publish weekly. I have somewhat decent open rates. But when I sit down on Sunday to plan the next issue, I still have no idea which of my recent topics actually resonated with readers vs which ones they tolerated. Like... did they open last week's issue on AI tools because it was good, or because the subject line was catchy? Did they want more of it? Did they find it too long? Too surface-level? I have”

“Hello, I'm working on a daily newsletter focused on what mattered in the market, why prices moved, and what's worth paying attention to vs noise.. I want it to feel easily digestible, something you want to read every day that's kind of ritualistic, informal, not gimmicky or too close to other brands. submitted by /u/heyyfriend [link] [comments]”

“Hey everyone, I wanted to share a pipeline I’ve been working on to solve the manual time sink of curating and summarizing technical content. Manually digging through RSS feeds, reading articles, and formatting takeaways into markdown formats takes hours every single week. To see if AI could handle the heavy lifting safely, I put together an automated background pipeline called Lettera. How the pipeline handles the data: Monitoring: It actively listens to a list of custom RSS feeds and content li”

“I write a newsletter. Not a huge one. And every single time I hit send, I felt the same small guilt: I should be posting this on social too. I almost never did. Not because I didn't want to, but because after three hours of writing, starting over to reformat everything for X and LinkedIn felt like starting from scratch. So the best thinking I did each week just sat in an inbox and died there. I kept thinking the same thing: the newsletter already is the content. The hard part is done. Why is”

“Really inspired by all the newsletter side hustles that are producing results. It definitely can be a great business but it's a lot of work. Question for all, how are you generating the content of the newsletter? Are you writing from 4 - 7 a.m.? Are you ingesting 3rd party content? A mix of the two or more? I think I have something that can help but first need to understand what would be useful. Is current content creation manual? Can it be automated? Are you worried about editorial integrit”

“Nobody talks about this enough when you're starting a newsletter, but there are really two games you're signing up for. The first is writing. Most people who start newsletters are here because they love this part. You have a niche, a point of view, something you want to say. And the beautiful thing about writing is you're in complete control. You don't need anyone's permission to get better. You write, you read, you iterate. Nobody has to give you feedback, you can feel it yo”

“So I write a newsletter on the side. Every week I'd spend 2 hours on it, then completely drop the ball on LinkedIn and Twitter. Copy-pasting never worked — what reads well in a newsletter is a wall of text in a feed. I tried ChatGPT. Technically fine, completely unpostable. You know that feeling when something sounds like AI even though you can't explain why? That. So I built something. The core insight was that the problem isn't generation — it's pattern elimination. There are s”

“Hey hey! I'm starting a newsletter for my agency and looking to choose the right tool from the beginning. I'm torn between Substack and Beehiv and looking for community advice on the best way forward. Here's a snapshot: The topics: Global new about world events and tech through a Canadian and European alliance lens. Audience: Canadian and European founders. Format: Sub 700 words, delivered weekly on Tuesday mornings in the "News you need to know". End goal: #1: Building the”

“I've been building newsletters for a while and honestly the same problems kept showing up every single week. Not knowing what to write next. Sending an issue, seeing the numbers, and having zero clue why it did well or flopped. And never really trusting open rates because half of them are probably fake thanks to Apple Mail Privacy. I spent a lot of time looking for something that actually helped with this. Not generic AI advice. Something that looks at my data, my audience, my writing style”

“I have a newsletter that's a few months old now. I cover the intersection of luxury, technology, and sustainability, with a focus on what it all means for luxury consumers—it's very much not an industry-focused publication. Before I started, I made commitments to myself and to my readers that 1) every word on the site would be human-authored and 2) I'd never miss a deadline. I made the first commitment because I hope and believe that in the age of AI, people will increasingly crave s”

“I have had this problem for a while and I want to stay informed. I really like the newsletter format and depth but truthfully we don't have enough time to sit down and read them all so I built myself a podcast player which can ingest all my newsletters and create a 5min podcast for me every morning. I'm curious if others are facing the same problem - how do you tackle it? submitted by /u/Technical_Rope_4675 [link] [comments]”

“Most newsletter analytics tell you what happened. Open rate, click rate, and so on This is all great for showing advertisers but first I need that many readers so I thought instead of newsletter analytics it might be better to • Newsletter performance • X/Twitter engagement • LinkedIn engagement • insta engagement • Search trends in your niche And so on for all my socials and Google trends Then use that data to identify: Topics that consistently perform across platforms Emerging topics before th”

“Been going down a rabbit hole looking at newsletter creation workflows and one thing keeps coming up: the invisible tax of cleaning up text after pulling quotes or data from PDFs, blogs, or slide decks. Standard copy pasting brings all the original layout junk along with it. You get random line breaks, weird spacing, and broken paragraphs. If you drop that text into Beehiiv or Substack, the whole editor box layout explodes. I ended up building a simple web tool called KleaSnap to solve this frus”

“I have a newsletter where i translate the latest scientific articles into plain english. Everytime i write a new article, i post a summary of it in a couple of sub reddits to see if people like the content and try to raise a few subscribers that way. People always seem to resonate with my content and end up getting upwards of 100k views and 100 upvotes. I ve been going at this for 1 month and have only gotten one sub from all of that. I ve now tried also running some ads on X with my best posts”

“One approach is to keep the email focused on the most important stories and move long event listings to a website. The newsletter becomes the highlight reel, and readers who want more can click through.”
