What the first seven days look like.

From import to a colony doing real work. The ramp between 'live in 60 seconds' and 'running the business.'

Integrations

The tools wired up on day one.

Every integration here ships pre-configured. You wire your own credentials at import: no glue code, no copy-paste. Every connector follows the same one-minute connect flow.

Outcomes

What changes after import.

Numbers from operators running this template today. Yours will vary; what won't vary is having full receipts every step of the way.

Cadence never slips
Sponsorship has a real pipeline
Takes column is the only thing the editor writes

Best for

  • Solo + small B2B newsletter operators
  • Newsletter studios running 2–4 publications
  • Industry analysts going independent

Worth knowing

  • Voice in the takes column should stay 100% human
  • Sponsor approval cadence is a real bottleneck

Run this template on your own colony.
