What Sets Newsletters Apart from the Pack?
The answer...CONTENT, of course. What sets some newsletters above others is the quality of its content: crisp, clear photos and images, well-written articles, and information your subscribers can use. The same things that make you enjoy reading newsletters are the things that you want to provide on your own newsletter, so visitors will not only return, but also multiply.
Content for your newsletter should be a combination of small articles, feature articles, and images to give depth to your newsletter. Some people will make multiple visits on the same day to read the content. Others will come and spend several hours devouring the fascinating articles you provide. Images make your newsletter come alive. If your articles have links to other sites on the Web, people can find out more information on the topics that interest them. All of these elements together make your newsletter a place for people to come and learn or be entertained.
Some newsletters feature headlines, summaries of articles and the full articles. At the very least, your newsletter should have some type of summary of the articles. This summary helps readers decide if they want to read the whole article.
Another thing to keep in mind is how you will use images to give your content further meaning. You want your visitors to stand up and take notice of the photos, to say "Ah, that's a great image." You might choose to have one outstanding photo, even if it doesn't relate to your articles. Think about having a photo or artwork with a caption that intrigues and captures the reader's attention. Remember that the first impression of your newsletter is the most important.
So, how will you provide excellent content for your newsletter?
Perhaps you will write it yourself. "But I'm not a writer," you say. Most people aren't writers. Writing relevant content for your newsletter is a daunting task, and what's more, you don't really feel that you have the skills. You need content that is written well and researched and you want it to be grammatically correct. You can use "free" content, but you usually get what you pay for. On the other hand, you may not have thousands of dollars a month to have a content provider send you articles in your chosen subjects.
There is an alternative. You can use a "content provider" that offers individual articles of different lengths, packages of articles and even photos at reasonable prices, as well as free headlines.
