Introduction to Newsletter Publishing

You may be more familiar with the terms eMail Publishing and eZine Publishing, but whatever name you use, Online Newsletter Publishing is rapidly becoming a "must do" for Internet businesses.

The speed and ease of newsletter publishing allows a wonderful diversity of subject matter, format and style. eMail newsletters are delivered to subscribed readers and can function as a magazine, discussion list, or they may be advisory, providing website or product updates to customers or visitors. Basically a newsletter can be whatever you and your subscribers need it to be!

Why is Newsletter Publishing a "must do" for your online business? Simply put, publishing a newsletter will keep you in touch with your customers and prospects on a regular basis (the squeaky wheel syndrome). Secondly, a newsletter will instantly position you as an expert in your field and simultaneously promote your products and services in a subtle and credible manner. Most importantly, publishing your own newsletter will allow you to gather eMail addresses of visitors to your site providing you with an opportunity for future sales.

So how do you distribute your newsletter? Your choice of distribution will most likely depend on your technical expertise and your pocketbook! Methods of distribution range from free online services, fee based professional list hosting services, and software programs. If you are a newbie or not technically proficient, software programs can be complicated and difficult to use. Free services such as Topica, Zinester, Coollist, and Yahoo!Groups, are efficient and easy to use, but your newsletters will contain advertisements of the host service. Professional services do not carry unwanted advertising but range greatly in price so be sure to compare services and read contracts carefully. Some services to check out are: Sparklist, Lyris, List Host, Topica and Zinester.

After you decide on your newsletter format and method of distribution you will need to build your mailing list. There are several approaches to building a subscriber list including advertising, website sign-up forms, directory listings and ad-swapping. Most newsletter publishers use all of these methods but the most important factor in building your list is to provide good content that people really want to read.

To be a successful newsletter publisher you should also learn about spam and opt-in subscriptions. For instance, adding subscribers to your list without their permission is spam. Spamming is strictly forbidden by upstanding business owners and most internet users as well. In fact, sending your newsletter to people or businesses that have not subscribed will cause them to avoid your newsletter and your website and you could even loose your ISP provider. As a newsletter owner you should make it easy for people to subscribe (opt-in) and unsubscribe (opt-out) from your newsletter.

So let's begin: After setting up your newsletter packed with good content, you should place sign-up forms on your website (preferably on every page). Once done, another cost effective way to get subscribers is to list your newsletter in directories. From there you can move on to ad-swapping and advertising programs. Most of the directories will note whether or not listed newsletters use ad-swapping or have paid or free advertising.

It is very important that you understand your options, such as the services that are available for newsletter publishing, marketing techniques useful for growing your subscriber list, spamming and opt-in subsciptions. Research, research, research! For more information check out the resources listed below - and best of luck to you.
