How to Make a Monthly Digest of Your Content

Earlier this month I made two decisions about the newsletter that you may have noticed:

1. I got rid of the “Quick Hits” section (which was mostly my own content) in favor of a 300-500 word section on some top-of-mind topic.
2. I added a monthly digest of all the content I put out during the month, sent on the last weekday of the month.

The two are related. I still want a way to let my newsletter subscribers know about the content I’ve put out, in case they missed it. But it also serves 2 other purposes:

1. It allows me to promote the month’s podcast episodes one more time.
2. The sponsors get one more mention in the newsletter each month.

After putting it together manually, I knew there had to be a better way, so I built version one of a Monthly Digest Engine, designed to aggregate and format all of my links, which I can then add to ConvertKit.

Here’s how I built it.
