"But Bernie, I don't have time to write a newsletter." I hear this constantly. And here's the thing - you're thinking about it backwards. Most people skip newsletters because they think it's extra work. But they'll spend hours crafting individual social media posts, Instagram captions, and LinkedIn updates. Here's what I've learned from direct experience: The hard graft of writing one newsletter pays off tenfold. When you write that weekly newsletter, you're not just creating one piece of content. You're building a content goldmine. Take that newsletter and break it down: Pull quotes for Instagram posts Extract key points for LinkedIn Turn insights into Twitter threads Use sections as standalone social updates Text-based platforms, especially those that love repurposed newsletter content. Add some images to your original newsletter, prep everything ahead of time, then schedule it all through @Bufferapp or CoSchedule. The So What? You're already doing the creative work for social media. A newsletter makes that work stretch further - much further. One focused writing session becomes 10-15 pieces of social content. That's not more work; that's working smarter.
