Issue structure

**Subject line formula:** [Specific insight] + [timeframe or number]
Example: "Why rate cuts matter more for SaaS than banks (3-min read)"

**Section 1 — Market recap (150 words max)**
One paragraph on the single most important market move this week and why your audience should care.

**Section 2 — Deep insight (400–600 words)**
One idea explained clearly. Use a specific example, data point, or case study. This is the section sponsors pay for.

**Section 3 — Curated links (3–5 items)**
• [Article title] — one sentence on why it's worth reading
• [Data source] — what the number means for your readers

**Section 4 — CTA**
One clear action: reply with a question, upgrade to paid, or check out a sponsor.

How to use this template

Use this skeleton every week — swap the market recap for the single data point your audience trades on (rates, earnings, funding rounds). Keep Section 2 under 600 words; finance readers skim unless you have a novel thesis. Place primary sponsors after the recap and before the deep insight — highest viewability without burying editorial. Publish the same day each week; Tuesday or Wednesday 7–9 AM in your audience's timezone converts best for B2B finance lists.
