The Email Sound Booth with Liz Wilcox

how to batch newsletters with google docs


Listen Later

Hey, hey, hey! Liz Wilcox here, your favorite (and accidentally snarky) email marketer, fresh off a writing retreat—and let’s be honest, I didn’t write a single word of fiction. Instead, I did what I do best: actual work, specifically BATCHING newsletter content so I can finally take a dang summer off!

In this episode, sparked by a real question in the Email Sound Booth Facebook group, I spill all the juicy behind-the-scenes deets on exactly how I organize, plan, and batch my newsletters. Spoiler: there’s a lot of Google Drive, calendar sleuthing, and me promising myself not to touch my sweater (sorry about those weird desk sounds if you’re an audio purist).

Inside This Episode:

  • My no-fluff process for batching content for the whole year (yes, summer vacation is possible, people!)

  • How to set up a Google Drive system for your newsletters and promo emails—folders, docs, the works

  • The weird stuff Patricia (my awesome team member) and I track on the calendar so nothing falls through the cracks (hello, affiliate promos)

  • My step-by-step workflow to plan out content for every single newsletter and special promo in under an hour

  • Why you don’t have to be fancy—you can totally do this with pen and paper if you’re feeling retro

  • A shout-out to batching hacks like using my templates and ChatGPT (you know I love a good shortcut)

  • A quick pep talk if you still have writer’s block and a not-so-humble invite to join my Email Marketing Membership (it’s $9 a month, and it’ll save you from content overwhelm FOREVER)

Final Words: Remember: It’s better to be clear than clever (but if you can be both, obviously aim for the stars). Thanks for hanging out with me, you magnificent email nerd! Hit subscribe, tell a friend, and I’ll see you on the next episode of The Email Sound Booth.

Stay fun & keep batching, Liz
