Join us on Tuesday, July 28th, where we'll learn about how AI is being used to support newsletter creators, email programs and organizational content projects.
We'll share examples and tools.
We'll also dig into some of the questions that come up as organizations use AI for content and storytelling:
- What is working and what is just getting in the way?
- What even is AI when it comes to email and content?
- How is AI slop affecting the usefulness of email, newsletters, and social media?
- How can (could? should?) AI shape newsletter and broader email growth?
- How are content creators and communicators learning about AI? What's useful? What's not?
How it Works
A Newsletter Nerd Club event is big on learning, sharing, and problem solving. An hour goes roughly goes like this:
- We dig into a topic that's on the minds of newsletter operators and nonprofit communicators. This month we're honing in on Growth.
- We run an exercise, demo some tools, and/or hop into breakouts to get folks talking about today's theme.
- We open up for some guided Q&A and conversation. Bring some questions. Get answers.
Growth Strategies, Tips, and Tools
On June 24, 2026, we got together to talk about newsletter growth.
- How to grow a newsletter list or community.
- How to know if your newsletter is right-sized.
- Is all growth good growth?
- What are some good growth goals and objectives?
- Where are newsletter finding new subscribers and community members today?
Newsletter Nerd Club is a recurring open, safe and supportive community for newsletter-y folks (and the newsletter curious) from non-profits, news organizations and other outposts of the newsletter world. We share resources back with participants.
