Hermes turns a coffee shop's photos into its newsletter
He describes a setup for a local coffee shop. Staff drop photos into a Telegram chat, and Hermes Agent writes the newsletter and schedules it in beehiiv. Event flyers become a page in beehiiv plus a short follow-up email series. He says it runs for under $5 a month and about five minutes of the owner's time, compared with $800 to $1,500 a month for an agency. He sells setups like this, so read the numbers as his own claim. The idea is useful for any small shop: the hard part of a newsletter is often just turning what happened this week into words.
Copy this prompt
Each week, look at the photos and notes posted in [CHAT]. Write a short newsletter for [SHOP NAME] customers: what's new, any events, and one photo caption per item. Keep it under 200 words and friendly. Save it as a draft in [NEWSLETTER TOOL] and send me the link. Don't schedule or send it until I reply yes.
Our own prompt, written from what the source describes. We haven't run it ourselves. Text in [BRACKETS] is what you replace.
Watch out for
- He sells setups like this, so the costs are his claim, not an independent figure.
- Keep a person approving every send. A newsletter goes to real customers.
