Advice on writing my newsletter

From my own site analytics I can also see that getting “advice on writing my newsletter” is one of the most popular phrases typed in.

So I’m proud to present some simple pieces of advice on writing a newsletter that I know will help speed the creation of your next publication.

What I need is “advice on writing my newsletter”

• DEFINE YOUR AUDIENCE:
  The most important advice is to be absolutely clear about who you are writing a newsletter for?  The worst kind of newsletters are those that ramble from one subject to another, without really having a clear sense of priority or audience.

• INVOLVE YOUR READERS:
  One of the best pieces of advice on making your newsletter a success is to grab the attention of your readership by involving them in your publication. “Next week we’ll be talking to one reader who has found a new way to do such and such”… or … “Our search will continue for the subscriber who can best provide an answer to this question…”  You get the idea.




• DON’T AGONIZE OVER IT:
  If you’re the perfectionist type then perhaps you spend too long on each edition of your newsletter. So some top newsletter advice is to get on with it and try to prevent yourself getting bogged down in small details which might not much matter.  Now I’m not encouraging you to take a slap-dash approach – all I’m saying is that it’s too easy to get tied up over some minor point and miss your publication deadline.




• MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A NEWSLETTER PUBLICATION DEADLINE:
  It’s very easy to tell your reader that you’ll be publishing a monthly newsletter, but to then fail to actually write it. Or perhaps simply fail to publish your newsletter on time!  So make a point of deciding on your publication schedule and frequency and then sticking with it. One good piece of newsletter advice is to work back from the publication date in order that you can get everything done in good time.

In fairness there are a half a dozen more top tips and advice for writing a newsletter, but I can’t fit everything into this blog post.

Advice on where to find great newsletter templates which you can use off-the-shelf or where to find newsletter articles are all examples of the advice you’ll find in my own How To Write A Newsletter Toolkit which you can find here.
