# Creating a Newsletter

> Step-by-step guide to creating and configuring your newsletter

## Getting Started

Creating a newsletter in Reduce is a straightforward process. Each newsletter represents a curated digest focused on a specific topic or area of interest.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to the Create Page">
    Click the "Create Newsletter" button from your dashboard or navigate to `/newsletters/new`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name Your Newsletter">
    Choose a clear, descriptive name that reflects the newsletter's focus.

    <Tip>
      Use names that describe the content, not the format. For example: "AI Research Weekly" rather than "My Newsletter #1"
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a Description (Optional)">
    Provide context about what this newsletter covers. This helps you remember its purpose, especially if you manage multiple newsletters.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Your Newsletter">
    After creation, you'll be taken to the configuration page where you can:

    * Add content sources
    * Define sections with AI prompts
    * Set delivery schedule
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Naming Best Practices

Choose names that make it easy to identify your newsletter's purpose at a glance:

| Good Examples              | Why It Works              |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| "AI Safety Research"       | Clear topic focus         |
| "React Ecosystem Updates"  | Specific technology area  |
| "Climate Tech News"        | Defined industry vertical |
| "Frontend Design Patterns" | Narrow, actionable scope  |

| Avoid               | Why It's Problematic          |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| "Newsletter 1"      | No context about content      |
| "Interesting Stuff" | Too vague                     |
| "My Daily Digest"   | Describes format, not content |

## Organizing Multiple Newsletters

<Note>
  Free tier users can create **1 newsletter**. Pro users can create up to **10 newsletters**.
</Note>

If you're on the Pro plan, consider organizing newsletters by:

* **Topic area**: Separate newsletters for AI, web development, design, etc.
* **Urgency**: Daily breaking news vs. weekly deep dives
* **Audience**: Work-related vs. personal interests
* **Source type**: Video-heavy (YouTube) vs. text-heavy (Reddit/X)
