# Newsletter Architect

Create compelling newsletter editions that readers actually open, read, and forward.

## Newsletter vs Email Nurture

| Newsletter (this skill) | Email Nurture |
|------------------------|---------------|
| Ongoing communication | One-time sequences |
| Regular cadence (weekly/monthly) | Triggered by action |
| Curated + original content | Focused drip campaign |
| Builds relationship over time | Moves toward conversion |
| Subscribers expect it | Automated based on behavior |
