[BLUEPRINT] Building a $5k/Mo AI-Curated Newsletter in 30 Days

[JackaL]

The $5k/Mo AI Newsletter Blueprint
Stop writing content yourself. Let APIs do the heavy lifting.​

The Business Model:
Newsletters are the highest ROI digital asset in 2026. Platforms like Beehiiv allow you to monetize via built-in ad networks and premium subscriptions.

The Automation Stack:

1. Make.com (for workflow automation)
2. News API (to scrape trending articles)
3. OpenAI API / Gemini Pro (to summarize)
4. Beehiiv API (to draft and schedule)

The Workflow & Monetization Secret:
You set up a Make.com scenario that triggers every morning at 6 AM.
1. It pulls the top 3 articles from News API.
2. It sends them to ChatGPT to summarize and add a controversial take.
3. It pushes the draft to Beehiiv.

Growth Hack: Don't pay for ads. Offer Twitter/X accounts with 50k+ followers a 50/50 revenue split to pin your newsletter.
