Time Saving Tricks to Help You Write Your Weekly CSA Newsletter Faster
August 3, 2022 by Corinna
Writing the weekly CSA Newsletter…. do you love it? Or hate it?
This used to feel like a CHORE! In my early years, I would start from scratch every week, and it felt like I was back in Yearbook class — not only trying to write engaging “newspaper-style” articles, but worrying about layout and images so it all fit!! It would take me around 6-7 hours every weekend.
Ugh.
After 14 years, I’ve learned a few things about how to make this important resource a whole lot faster (and better!) In this episode, I share 5 time-saving hacks I use now that help me knock this out in about 3 hours a week. So when the well runs dry… you have some back-up systems that keep you moving forward.
You can check out my latest CSA newsletter here: www.sharedlegacyfarms.com/blog.
