Tools you can use to follow all the latest trends in AI. Personally, I follow both TLDR AI and Alfasignal, both of which provide daily summaries on the latest issues within AI. However, recently we started our own AI-Gorted books, focusing on the latest trends in AI, and the topics I write articles on.
In this article, I'll provide a high-level overview of why and how I started my AI-focused newsletter, including my motivation and reasoning for starting a newsletter, and the tools and methods I use to create my newsletter. I intend to encourage you to create a newsletter, to provide more resources to the AI community, which has experienced unprecedented development in the past few years.
Why you should do a newsletter
I think newsletters are amazing resources for the AI community. You get to follow your favorite creators and pay attention to what they're working on. I think this is important to:
- Being led by the spirit
- Reading
- Stay up to date
I especially think inspiration is one of the most important things. Reading different books of books keeps me up to date, but most of them give me different ideas of what I want to use, or I like to see problems from a different work of the day of implementation.
I believe in creating a good newspaper that benefits both the creator and the student. The Creator receives:
- People follow them, they become a thought leader on the topic
- Financial Benefits
- Reading: Writing about your experiences is a great help to deepen your understanding
When a student becomes:
- Access to free or low-cost high-quality services
- Meet the community
- He is inspired by their work
Therefore, creating a good newsletter is good from all sides, and something to consider if you are very interested in certain topics.
AI focused newsletter – How to build it
I have now covered why you should create a newsletter, highlighting how it is beneficial to both the newsletter creator and the newsletter subscriber.
Creating your Newsletter doesn't have to be very difficult, and naturally, you should start with simplicity and then create your Netletter to improve it.
I just started my own newsletter by discussing previous articles I had written, giving a summary and a taxonomy of the topics, and some of my thoughts and other thoughts. I think showing your previous content is very important, both responses from readers, but also reading old content, and showing the progress you make, to strive to be a better writer or Creator. Below you can see the draft of my first Newsletter:
I create my newsletter using mailerlite, which allows you to organize your subscriber list (I will cover how to get subscribers in the next part) and create a letter that you send to your subscribers. They also provide forms you can use to get people to sign up for your newsletter. I am not sponsored by mailerlite.
To create a real newspaper, I created an HTML file in CUSSOR. I provide a pointer with:
- Links to all the articles I want to refer to on the topics
- Text I want to include in my newsletter (ie, my thoughts on AI Agents and visual language models)
- Paths to images I want to include, like the image you see in my newsletter above
Index Then we take care of setting up the newspaper outline, bullet points, and the general design of the magazine. Writing a newsletter in HTML in your area is fast.
This follows the same goal I follow for my website as well:
Never use drag and drop editors. Instead: Look at how to integrate yourself using any AI agent
Installing Themselves is so easy these days with tools like Claude code or the pointer, that you should avoid Draud-and-Drop editors at all costs
I used this same concept in my article on how to power your website with AI.
How to get a signature
Now that you know why you should do a newsletter and how to do it, you need to get people to sign up for the newsletter. This can be challenging, but you should always strive to follow the main goal:
If you create high-quality content, the views will come naturally
If you continue to write high quality articles and direct your readers to continue following you through your newsletter, you will actually ensure more views over time.
There are, however, some other techniques you can use to grow more nublisaps:
- Link to your newsletter in your online content (I recommend linking at the end of your articles, to make sure your content stays clean, and show a CTA to your newsletter at the end of your content)
- Offer other resources, such as webinars and eBooks, and have People Subscribe to your newsletter for free access to your content
- Guest posts: You can guest post some of your articles to attract readers to other channels
These are the methods I use and recommend. Essentially, the techniques are:
- Not offensively, or in a way that degrades the quality of your content for others. If readers want to learn only to read your article without interruption, there is nothing stopping them from that
- The reader benefits from a premium subscription, both for premium newsletters and free access to other content, such as eBooks and webinars.
It is very important that you always make sure that the user benefits from signing up for your newsletter.
Lasting
In this article, I have discussed why and how to create a technical Newsletter. Having a newsletter is great because you, as the Creator, and the reader benefit from the content of the newsletter. It is important to always remember that the content you create, in some way, helps your readers, for example, with easy access to quality resources. I also discussed how I create my newsletters by creating HTML files and pasting them into mailerlite to send to my subscribers.
I believe that having a newsletter is an amazing resource, both for creators and readers, and it's something that will become even more important when we add AI content to real human-made content. Having an authentic newsletter with content written by people is a great way to ensure authenticity.
