TEMPLATE · CREATOR
Newsletter Publisher. Research, write, ship — every issue, on time.

First week
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.'
- Day 1
Import + connect
Connect your newsletter platform + Drive. The Editor-in-Chief loads the voice doc + calendar.
- Day 2
First research sweep
Researcher pulls sources and builds the first cited brief.
- Day 3
First draft
Writer drafts the issue from the brief; Editor does the first polish pass.
- Day 4
Promo assets
Social cuts the issue into pull-quotes + a thread; Growth sets up a subject-line A/B.
- Day 5
First issue ships
You preview and publish; the issue goes out on schedule.
- Day 6
Growth experiments
Growth Analyst reads open + click rates and proposes the next two tests.
- Day 7
Weekly cycle locked
Managing Editor sets the repeatable research → draft → edit → ship rhythm.
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.
Best for
- Solo writers who want a magazine workflow
- Newsletters with a research-heavy angle
- Publishers running multiple subscription tiers
Worth knowing
- Voice drift — the more agents touch the draft, the harder voice consistency gets. Lock the voice doc and review weekly.
- Source bias — a researcher agent will chase whatever is easy to find. Diversify the source list manually every quarter.
