If you want to start a newsletter but you’re not sure how to set everything up, in this video I walk you through the entire process in Kit (formerly ConvertKit), step by step. I show you what to do the moment you land on the dashboard—whether you already have subscribers (so you can upload them with a CSV) or you’re starting from zero and need to collect emails first. For beginners, I go into the “Grow” section and show you how to create a landing page or build a form you can embed on your website, pick a template, edit the text and images, add a first-name field, and publish it so you can start collecting subscribers. Then I show you how to actually create and send your first newsletter using a Broadcast. You’ll see how to pick a template, write your subject line (or generate subject lines with AI), and even run a split test. I also cover the simple block editor so you can add images, buttons, icons, polls, and more. Before you hit send, I recommend connecting a business email for better trust and deliverability, sending yourself a test email, and choosing whether to send immediately or schedule it. And the best part: you can get started free on Kit up to 10,000 subscribers.
