Not sure how to lay out a newsletter? A simple skeleton for one issue:
Hook: one line on why this matters this week.
The idea: one tip, story or update, in 3 short paragraphs.
Call to action: one link, one ask.
Everything else waits for the next issue.
Which part of your last issue was weakest?

Nice to keep the dashboard in view.
Problem: Small teams lose hours every week to copy-paste work — moving data between tools, chasing updates, and doing the same manual steps again and again. Build: With my service One AI Automation Built for You — $150, one fixed price — I build one automation for you in n8n, Make or Zapier, wired into the tools you already use, tested end to end, and handed over with a short walkthrough so your team can run it. Result: One repetitive task runs itself, every time, without the manual work. No calls needed. We work async, in text. What is the one task you would automate first if it ran itself?
one automation that runs every day beats ten half built ones
MAKE IT MOVE.
A 28-second motion piece about what happens to an idea once it starts moving.
It opens on a single word, IDEA., sitting still. Then the letters stretch, round off and turn into shapes. The dot drops out, bounces across a grid and swells into a disc. The disc becomes liquid glass and settles into the mark of a fictional brand, PULSE. From there it turns into a poster, a package and an app screen, before breaking apart and coming back as one line of type.
Every scene inherits something from the one before. The dot that ends the first word is the same dot that closes the title at the end.
Made for portfolio. Kinetic type, shape morphing, liquid glass, brand application and an original score at 120 bpm, all built in code.
Your idea. My motion. Let’s make something move.
Making the orange dot from IDEA. the hero that bounces and swells into a disc is a smart way to carry the whole piece. Did you use the same easing for the letters and the dot?
