Link roundup newsletter template with soft cards

A roundup works when readers can see at a glance what is in it. The top story gets the biggest card, and every card carries a tag and a reading time, so a subscriber can pick the one that fits their mood.

Example subject line
Four things worth your Friday
Preview text
Vinyl, Lisbon, notebooks, and a plant that refuses to die.

When to use it

A handful of things to point to, like your own posts, a few good links or a product note, makes a good roundup. Send it weekly or every two weeks.

Make it yours

  • Put your strongest story in the lead card and three more in the rest.
  • Edit each tag and reading time, or remove them if you do not track them.
  • Link the archive button to a page listing past issues.
