Repurpose one idea into 5 newsletter issues

Read time: 4 mins

Hi hi,

Have you ever bought a shirt and thought, ‘Well, I’ll wear it once and never again’?

No, right? No one thinks that way.

But when it comes to content, everyone treats it like that. They use it once and never again.

I don’t want you to do the same. Instead, we’ll build a system to turn one idea into 5 newsletter issues.

As a newsletter creator, you know how hard it is to even get one idea.

This perfectly supports my message for this edition. And when your newsletter is your main business, you simply can’t skip it.

Shall we start?

I’m mentioning 3 ways to do it:

Take a single business idea, like for me it would work: ‘Grow to 1,000 paying subscribers.’ You can split it into multiple issues:

Issue 1: Validate a profitable newsletter niche

Issue 2: Create content that converts subscribers

Issue 3: Strategies to acquire your first 100–500 subscribers

Issue 4: How to convert the free subscribers into paying ones

Issue 5: How to scale your newsletter business sustainably

(Yes, you can understand how I get the ideas. Haha)

Each issue stands alone, but you only know, together they form a mini-series.

Even if the topic is the same, you can cover it from different business angles:

I’m giving you an example with Insideletter. Please change it as per your niche.

Plan your five issues in such a way that they logically build on each other.

The first teaches, the second shows application, the third speeds up the results, and the last drives monetisation.

This keeps readers hooked and positions you as the go-to authority for them.

When you are writing a newsletter, that means you’re solving a problem for a particular audience.

When there is a problem, there should be objections too.

So, you can use the objections (you can get them from Quora and Reddit)

Issue 1: ‘I don’t have time to write a newsletter’

Issue 2: ‘I don’t know what to write about’

Issue 3: ‘No one will pay for it’

Issue 4: ‘I can’t grow my audience’

Issue 5: ‘I don’t know how to monetise it’

See? I do the same with Insideletter, too.

By addressing objections your audience actually has, each edition becomes highly relevant and actionable.

Thanks for giving it a read. I’ll see you again on Thursday. Meanwhile, apply all these tactics to your newsletter.

And reply to me once you’re done, I’ll wait and work with you.

See you then.

Ta-da 👋🏻
