How can I have AWeber write my newsletter for me every week?

You're busy, so creating a compelling newsletter from a blank screen can so challenging that we often just don't do it.

The Newsletter Assistant writes a draft for you to review, tweak, and send every week. It understands your business, learns your products or services, and matches your tone - giving you more time to focus on what you do best.

Having the Assistant Create your Message

1. Open the Newsletter Assistant
   Log in to your account and navigate to the Newsletter Assistant. You’ll see a clean interface where you can begin by entering a topic or idea for your newsletter.
2. Enter Your Newsletter Topic or Choose a Suggested Topic
   In the text area provided, type in a story, idea, theme, or drop in a link to a product or service that you’d like your newsletter to cover. This helps the assistant understand the direction you want to take.
   • Don't stress about coming up with a prompt, the Assistant will give you 3 topics based on your specific business.
3. Start the Draft Creation
   Click the “Write My Draft” button. The assistant will analyze your website and provided topic to craft a draft that reflects your brand’s voice.

If you see a field to add a website, make sure your website URL is added to your List Settings inside of your AWeber account. Newsletter Assistant uses your website to learn about your business and writing style, ensuring that the generated draft sounds like you.

Reviewing and Refining Your Draft

Once your draft is generated, you can review it directly within the interface. It's easy to make adjustments:

1. Just Ask the Assistant for What you Want
   Although you can use the inline editor to manually edit your message, the real power is in the chat. You can just ask the assistant to make changes, and it'll do it for you. Some things you might ask for:
   • "Change the product you're promoting to [a name of a different product you offer]."
   • "Add an image of [one of your products]"
   • "Start this email with [a personal story of yours]."
2. Make Manual Edits
   You can also use the manual editor to type changes, apply basic styles like bold and italic, and add additional hyperlinks.

Finalizing Your Newsletter

When you’re satisfied with your draft:

1. Save Draft
   This will transfer the content you've created into the traditional AWeber message editor so you can:
   • Apply a template.
   • Add additional content blocks like video elements or other smart content.
2. Schedule Newsletter
   This will take you through the standard broadcast scheduling flow where you can select a segment and send time for you message.
