📖 The Hustle
Design 20+ email newsletter templates for ConvertKit and Mailchimp: welcome sequences, weekly digest layouts, product launch emails, course promotion emails, newsletter roundups, and plain-text-friendly designs. Email marketing is the highest-ROI channel for online businesses, and creators need templates that look professional across Gmail, Apple Mail, and Outlook. Email templates at $25-35 solve a recurring frustration for thousands of newsletter authors.
🚀 First Step
Design a 'Weekly Roundup' email template in ConvertKit's visual builder with a header logo slot, 3 content sections with image-text pairs, and a footer with social links and unsubscribe — then export and document how to import it.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Create separate versions for ConvertKit AND Mailchimp — creators are loyal to their email platform and will not switch just to use your templates, so covering both platforms doubles your market
- Test every template in Gmail, Apple Mail, and Outlook before publishing — email rendering is notoriously inconsistent, and a template that looks broken in Outlook generates immediate refunds
- Include a 'Email Design Best Practices' PDF covering subject line tips, image-to-text ratio, and mobile optimization — educational bonuses increase the purchase justification
