Like all of our recurring programs, we take turns editing our newsletter each month. Here's what the editor for that month is responsible for:
- Managing the creation, publication and archiving of that month's newsletters
- Growing our subscriber list
And then for each newsletter:
-
Reach out to potential guest contributors by EOD Monday each week. Request that they submit their content by Thursday for inclusion in Friday's newsletter
-
Ensure all newsletter content is delivered and in the draft Google doc by end of day Thursday
-
Have all newsletter content moved over to MailChimp and ready for edit by 12 p.m. CT on Friday
-
Complete all of the tasks in the pre-publish checklist
-
Add newsletter content to the blog as a draft (reference the blog post checklist for more details)
-
Newsletter sent via MailChimp by 2 p.m. CT on Friday
-
Publish newsletter post on the blog after the email is sent
-
Share newsletter blog link on social platforms
-
Move content from the draft Google doc to the archive Google spreadsheet
