A weekly digest is one of the best ways to connect with your audience, share your latest work, and stay on their radar. It’s a simple, effective way to build a loyal following.
Starting with a template makes the whole process easier. It gives you a proven layout so you can just drop in your content and send something beautiful.
Your readers should know what to expect. A consistent layout—maybe an intro, a few links, and a sign-off—makes your digest feel reliable and easy to navigate. They'll know exactly where to look for their favorite section each week.
A digest is more than a list of links. It’s your chance to share your point of view. Hand-pick the most interesting or useful content for your audience. Think of yourself as their personal guide to the best stuff, not just a content robot.
Skip the generic "Here's your weekly update." Start with a short, personal note. A quick thought, a behind-the-scenes story, or a question for your readers. It’s the best way to build a real connection and make your email feel like it’s from a person, not a brand.
Most people will scan your email before they decide to read it. Use clear headings, bold text, and plenty of white space to guide their eyes. A clean, scannable design makes your content feel approachable and respects your reader's time.
