The Best Way to Write a Newsletter

By: Uchenna Ani-Okoye

When writing a newsletter or email promotions you are going to have problems. Unless you have an effective selling point that can be simply received by your potential buyer. The design and art of your newsletter and what you speak and how you speak it, will benefit in giving your newsletter this important difference. One of the better selling points of a news letter is the degree of subscriber involvement--for example, how much it talks about, and uses the names of its subscribers.

The name of your newsletter could also help to set it apart from the usual newsletters and spell out its advertising incentive. A well thought out name strengthens your advertising. Pick a name that shows the desire and scope of your newsletter.

People like to see things written down about them. They try all kinds of things to see their names in print and they will pay big cash to read what's been written about them. You could acknowledge this fact of human nature, and decide if and how you want to capitalize on it--then construct your newsletter accordingly.

The subscribers will generally receive a newsletter quicker if the publisher's picture is shown or included as a part of the newsletter. Whether you use pictures of the people, events, locations or products you are writing about is a personal decision. But the use of pictures will set your publication aside from the others and give it a unique image, which is precisely what you want.

Be sure your newsletter works well with the persona you're trying to create for it. Make sure it shows the needs of your subscribers. Put your advertising incentive within the heading and on the title page and above all else, don't be cheap on design or art! Opportunity Knocking, Cash Making Magic, Extra Income Note Sheet and Mail Order Up-Date are prime examples of this type of thinking--as oppose to the normal run of the mill tired, Report, Association Newsletter or Club-house Confidential.

Attempt to make your newsletter's title memorable--one that works automatically. Don't pick a name that's so weak it could apply to almost anything. The name may identify your newsletter and its subject speedily and positively. Nearly as vital as names in your newsletter are pictures and images.

The pricing of your newsletter should be consistent with the persona you want to build--unless it is an email newsletter, in which case it should be free if you are selling products within it! If you are starting a "Me-too" newsletter, do not price it above the competition.

In majority instances, the consumer associates higher costs with quality. So if you give your readers good quality information in an expensive looking package--do not hesitate to ask for a premium price. But, if your data is gathered from most of the other newsletters on the subject, you will do well to keep your prices similar with the competition.
