About this template

A newsletter goes out on time when the week has a shape. This project is one issue over five days with the checks people skip: the links, the test send, the subject line written last.

Tips from the template

  • Copy it per issue, or keep one and reset the dates.
  • Write the subject line last.
  • Note the open and click numbers in the last task so the next issue learns.
