Publishing a newsletter consistently is one of the best ways to build authority.
But here’s the problem: most people start strong, then burn out.
I’ve been running the ReThynk AI Newsletter on LinkedIn, reaching 30,000+ global readers — and AI is the reason I can do it without a full editorial team.
Here’s my exact step-by-step workflow.
1️⃣ Idea Collection
Every week, I capture insights from:
- Books I’m reading
- AI experiments I run
- Community questions
- Industry news
💡 Prompt Example:
“List 10 newsletter topic ideas for professionals curious about AI productivity. Make them practical and engaging.”
This gives me a pool of ready-to-use ideas.
2️⃣ Research & Validation
I use Perplexity AI and ChatGPT to validate which topics are trending or high-value.
💡 Prompt Example:
“Summarize the top 3 recent trends in AI for small businesses. Include examples and potential challenges.”
This ensures my newsletter is always fresh.
3️⃣ Drafting the Issue
Instead of writing from scratch, I use AI for scaffolding.
💡 Prompt Example:
“You are a newsletter editor. Create a 3-section outline for an AI newsletter issue: (1) Insight of the Week, (2) Practical Prompt, (3) Recommended Tool.”
Then I add stories, lessons, and frameworks from my own work.
4️⃣ Editing & Tone Polishing
AI helps tighten language and ensure readability.
💡 Prompt Example:
“Polish this newsletter draft for clarity and flow. Keep the tone professional yet approachable.”
Why: Readers stay engaged when content feels human, not robotic.
5️⃣ Repurposing Across Platforms
Every issue becomes:
- A LinkedIn post (for reach)
- A Twitter thread (for engagement)
- A dev.to article (for SEO and credibility) 💡 Prompt Example:
“Turn this newsletter issue into a 6-tweet thread with a strong hook and call-to-action.”

Final Thought
The secret isn’t writing more.
It’s building a repeatable system where AI handles structure, research, and repurposing — while you bring the insights and voice.
That’s why the ReThynk AI Newsletter has grown into a global platform without exhausting me.
