One Prompt Writes Your Weekly Newsletter In 20 Minutes
Stop spending 3+ hours every week. This single prompt does the heavy lifting.
Hey there!
How much time do you spend writing your weekly newsletter?
If you’re like most coaches and consultants, you spend 2-4 hours every single week. You stare at a blank page. You write, delete, and rewrite. You second-guess every sentence. And by the time you hit send, you’re exhausted and dreading next week’s edition.
Here’s what most people don’t know: you don’t need to write your newsletter from scratch every week.
So today, I’m going to share the exact prompt I use to write my newsletter in 20 minutes. This prompt captures your voice, applies proven frameworks, and generates value-packed content your audience wants to read.
Let’s walk through how to use this system.

Step 1: Feed the prompt your best content once.
You need to train the prompt on your writing style and expertise.
Here’s how: take 3-5 of your best newsletter editions or LinkedIn posts. Pick pieces where people commented, shared, or told you “this was exactly what I needed.” These pieces show your natural voice and the topics your audience cares about.
Then paste those pieces into the prompt as examples. The prompt uses these to learn:
How you structure ideas
The words you use (and avoid)
Your level of depth and detail
The frameworks you teach
This one-time setup takes 10 minutes. After this, you never have to do this again.
Step 2: Define your newsletter structure in the prompt.
Most newsletters fail because they lack structure.
Your readers are busy. They need to skim your newsletter and extract value in 60 seconds. If they want more depth, they’ll read the full sections. But the structure needs to make this easy.
Here’s the structure I include in my prompt:
Subject line (4-8 words, sentence-case)
Opening hook (1-2 sentences)
Promise statement (what you’ll teach today)
3-5 bolded headers (each one delivers on the promise)
Section content (tactical steps, examples, or frameworks)
Call to action (one clear next step)
When you define this structure in your prompt, every newsletter follows the same format. Your readers know what to expect. You save time because you’re not reinventing the wheel every week.
Step 3: Input your topic and let the prompt do the work.
This is where the time savings happen.
Every week, you give the prompt one simple input: your topic. That’s all. The prompt takes your topic and generates:
5 subject line options
A complete newsletter draft with your voice
Headers that deliver on the promise
Section content with actionable steps
The entire draft takes 3-5 minutes to generate. You spend the next 15 minutes editing for accuracy, adding personal stories, and adjusting anything that doesn’t sound like you.
Total time: 20 minutes instead of 3 hours.
Step 4: Edit for your voice, not perfect grammar.
Here’s where most people mess this up.
They take the generated draft and start editing for grammar, punctuation, and “proper” writing. Wrong move. Your readers don’t care if every sentence is grammatically perfect. They care if the newsletter sounds like you and helps them solve a problem.
So when you edit, focus on these things:
Does this sound like something I would say?
Is there a personal story I should add here?
Are the examples specific enough?
Is the action step clear?
If you catch a typo, fix the typo. But don’t waste 30 minutes making every sentence “perfect.” Your readers prefer authentic over polished.
Step 5: Build your prompt library for different newsletter types.
Once you have your core prompt working, create variations.
Not every newsletter needs the same format. Sometimes you want to share a personal story. Sometimes you want to break down a framework. Sometimes you want to answer reader questions.
Create 3-4 prompt variations:
Story-driven newsletter (personal experience with lessons)
Framework breakdown (step-by-step system)
Question and answer (solve common problems)
Case study (client results with takeaways)
Each prompt variation follows the same structure but adjusts the content type. Now you have a library of prompts for any situation. You pick the prompt that fits your topic, input your idea, and generate the draft.
This keeps your newsletter fresh without starting from zero every week.
Here’s what you learned today:
Train one prompt with your best content to capture your voice and expertise
Define your newsletter structure so every edition follows a proven format
Input your topic and generate a complete draft in 3-5 minutes
Stop treating newsletter creation like a novel writing project. You’re a coach or consultant, not a professional writer. Your job is to share valuable ideas, not win a Pulitzer. This prompt system lets you publish weekly without burnout.
Start with your next newsletter. Pick your topic, use the prompt, and time yourself. You’ll be shocked at how fast you finish.
