How To Make Money By Creating Newsletters - A Mini Guide

By Dhruv Patel

So you want to know how to make money by creating newsletters? Do you know what a newsletter is? If you don't, the information contained in this article will get you on the road to become a newsletter publisher. A newsletter should in the first place be subscription based. People have to sign up to receive it. That means they are interested in the subject of your newsletter. That brings us to the second point: a newsletter should be about a specific subject.

If you therefore send out 10 000 SPAM emails about how great it would be (for your bank balance) if everyone joined your MLM scheme, that is not a newsletter. It is just plain old fashioned SPAM. And with the massive amount of SPAM people receive nowadays, it is sure to be deleted without even being opened. The reason why many people still send out SPAM is that creating a good newsletter is more work, and getting people to sign up for it is even more work.

If you have a website, however, about a niche subject, for example a specific hobby, your visitors are probably highly targeted - they are interested in that specific subject. Instead of them reading a few paragraphs on the website and then leaving forever, you could ask them to sign up for your newsletter. In the newsletter you can have links back to your website. This way you create a system to turn a once off visitor into a long term visitor. If you are selling products related to that hobby on your website, you now have a much better way of making money than before.

Do not use you newsletter to push your products or services down people's throats. Use it to provide your readers with valuable information. Make them want to read more, either by going to your website, or clicking on the links contained in your newsletter.

If you write articles for one of the websites like Xomba or Squidoo, where you get a share of the advertizing income generated by your articles, a well written newsletter can of course help a lot to drive people to your articles. Include the links in your newsletter as part of a well-written, information rich message, and you are sure to gain visitors from that.

If you are a member of an affiliate program, for example Amazon, you could insert the links to that affiliate program into the content of the newsletter itself. Very popular newsletters will also attract advertisers who want to expose their products to your readers, and who are prepared to pay to do this.

Should you be lucky enough to be a guru in any specific subject, you might just have struck gold. You have the option of creating a subscription based website, where people pay for the information you provide. Then you can use your newsletter to tell people more about what you offer, and to encourage them to sign up at the website. Or you could utilize the website to tell people more about your paid newsletter. Either way the newsletter will prove to be priceless.

Once you know how to make money by creating newsletters, you can do it over and over again. It's not quite as easy as printing money, but with the right approach it can become close! - 29941
