The newsletter is where Manoj's voice goes out at scale. It is not automated content - it is real writing, in his voice, about what is actually happening in the business.
Mailgun delivers it. The choice was simple: pay a platform like ConvertKit a monthly fee that scales with list size, or pay Mailgun per send and keep the cost tied to actual activity. For a list that sends weekly, Mailgun is consistently cheaper and there is no pricing cliff when the list grows.
The Workflow
Claude drafts from context. Manoj edits and approves. Claude sends via Mailgun API. Bounces and unsubscribes are handled automatically. The list stays clean without manual work.
