How
to Promote Your Newsletter or E-Zine Online
A
newsletter or e-zine is a great way to promote your business
and
attract readers on the internet. You can also use a newsletter
to expand your database or your list.
Anyone in business can
offer a newsletter as a way of getting the word out about what
they do, the
products they sell as well as other important updates regarding their
products and services.
Getting started in publishing a
newsletter is not difficult. If you don't have the
time or
the skills needed to get your newsletter published each week, there are
many resources that you can use, such as a virtual assistant, who will
be able to help you.
Setting
up the system
To get your newsletter started, you need people to send it to.
The best way to capture their details is to set
up a registration form or opt-in box on your site. Interested
visitors can sign up to receive your newsletter on a regular
basis.
It's up to you how much information you ask subscribers to
give
you. You can start with asking for their name and
email
address.
A great way to send out your newsletter and to keep track of
website statistics is to use the automated mailing list
software
provided by your web host. You will save on cost
and time
as well.
By using automated software, you can go hands free with
sending your
newsletters every time a person signs up. This means that when somebody
types in her name and email address and hits the submit
button, that person
automatically gets your newsletter without you having to manually send
it.
Additionally, you can set up a
system that will automatically send your newsletter to all your
subscribers
in just one click instead of sending it out one by one. AWeber
has this
feature plus allows you to track and record your newsletter
statistics.
Make sure you check out our Web Secrets Success Club for step
by step templates on how to set up and publish your newsletter.
What to include
in your newsletter or e-zine
For your newsletter you have different styles to choose from.
It
can be a letter type with just one or two sections or a mini-magazine
style with several sections. A newsletter that is engaging
for readers takes some key points into consideration such as
relevance to the
business, writing style, images and information for readers and
potential clients.
A newsletter need not be very long. Keep it short
and
the information concise and interesting to maintain
the
interest of your reader. Topics of interest to share in your newsletter
include upcoming product launches, special offers, programs,
events and
other information of value to your target
audience, such as
tips and strategies that can help your subscribers in business.
Choose
a simple layout that is
easy on the eyes. Avoid using too many colours and fonts as
well
as including too many sections. Your goal should to
get your
readers to
focus on a single piece of content at a time. Be
consistent
with the layout of your newsletter so that your readers come to expect
certain sections and content and can easily scroll through to find and
read their favourite part first.
Including images and photos adds interest and variety. Make
sure photos are clear and relevant to the information in
your newsletter. Also include a photo of yourself -
people are naturally interested in knowing the person
behind the information they read on the internet.
Finally,
don't forget to
provide a page on your website with links to your old
newsletters.
This provides not only great content for your website,
anyone who
missed a previous newsletter can still
view the back issues and browse through the information they missed.

Five
Minutes with...
Melina Schamroth
of M.A.D. Woman
Question
1
What
has been your biggest challenge in business and how did you overcome it?
Aside from the usual initial financial challenges, the biggest
challenge has been finding a steady flow of single men for events.
Women are very quick to put themselves forward to participate, but many
men tend to leave bookings until the last minute. Statistics show there
are also few single men than single women in the same age brackets. The
irony is, I found a great man for myself and still spend my life
searching for single men!
Question
2
If
you had to start your business again from scratch, what would you do
differently?
Find an additional way to cook lentils! (I had an awful lot of lentil
soup in the initial stages when cashflow was an issue). Other than
that, I don't think I would do anything differently - it's been such an
amazing process, I am always learning and have evolved my business over
time. I am flexible and am not a person who lives with regrets.
Question
3
Who
do you admire and why?
I've always admired people who stand up for others and I am totally
inspired by people who take a stand - or the case of Rosa Parks, sit
down - for the betterment of people and the planet. It takes guts and
determination, and often personal sacrifices, to elicit positive change
in others.
Question
4
It
takes a lot of determination and dedication to succeed in business.
What keeps you motivated?
I never want to be an employee in someone else's business again, so
that's a pretty good incentive! I spent nearly two decades working for
other people and it gave me clarity about the way I wanted to spend my
time. Every project I take on now has an element that makes a positive
difference to the community, environment or people needing support. It
is invigorating to live a life that feels purposeful.
Question
5
What
are your 3 biggest success tips?
- Be passionate, confident, flexible and persistent.
- Set stretch goals normally considered beyond your
reach -it's that old thing about aiming for the moon and you might just
hit the stars.
- Focus on the what and the why and the how will come.
