In short
A newsletter issue already has an idea, an argument and examples. A carousel shows one of them to people who do not subscribe yet. Take the strongest section, not the whole issue.
Steps
Bring the issue in
Paste the text into the prompt box if it is under 6,000 characters, roughly 1,000 words. A longer issue goes in as a text or Word file.
Say which part to use
"Only the section on pricing" keeps the carousel to one idea. Without it, the designer summarises the whole issue.
Match the newsletter's look
Name your newsletter's website in the brief ("styled like example.com") and carouselgen reads that page's colours and fonts. Or save it as a brand once and pick it every time.
Generate and check
Read the slides against the issue, then comment where something is off.
Where the subscribe link goes
Nobody can tap a link on a slide. Put the link in the post text, and let the last slide say in one line why the newsletter is worth reading.
Make it a weekly habit
- Use the first carousel as a template, so every issue looks like part of a series.
- Keep one shape: the idea, three points, the takeaway.
- Write the caption yourself, in the newsletter's voice. See writing the caption.
Questions
Can I paste a link to the issue instead?
No. Paste the text or attach a file. A link is only used to read a website's look, when the brief asks for it.
Should the carousel give away the whole idea?
Give one idea in full. A carousel that only teases reads like an ad, and the reader has no reason to trust the newsletter yet.
Does it work on Instagram too?
Yes. Export the carousel as images instead of a PDF, one PNG per slide.
