how to batch newsletters with google docs

In this practical, behind-the-scenes episode, Liz Wilcox — the Fresh Princess of Email Marketing — walks you through her real process for batching newsletters. Inspired by a question from the Email Sound Booth Facebook Group, Liz shares her simple, repeatable system for planning a month's worth of email content in just a few hours — without losing creativity or momentum. Episode Highlights The question that sparked this episode: "Liz, how do you batch your newsletters?" The backstory: Liz recorded this episode right before yoga, after returning from a Michigan writing retreat that turned into an unplanned work weekend. Her exact batching setup Step-by-step batching process: How her team supports the process: Patricia manages the calendar and ensures promotions are logged ahead of time so batching stays organized. Why this method works: it reduces overwhelm, keeps content relevant, and helps Liz take intentional time off (especially during summer). Alternative batching methods Bonus copywriting tip: "It's better to be clear than clever." Final encouragement: batching is simple once you have a system — and the membership gives you a head start with templates that make it even faster. Key Takeaways Use structure to stay creative: Systems free you to focus on storytelling and connection. Batch monthly, not yearly: Planning too far ahead kills flexibility — one month at a time keeps things fresh. Leverage your tools: Google Drive, templates, and AI can simplify everything. Write what's coming up: Anchor your newsletters around events or promos. Stay consistent: Clear planning makes showing up weekly much easier.
