What content will you provide, who will produce it, and where will
you find it?
Articles form the most popular type of newsletter content - usually
in the form of news, tips, how-to information, or reviews.
One of the decisions you have to make is who is going to write the
content for your newsletter. Are you going to do it yourself? Hire a
freelance writer? Or use syndicated content?
The easiest (and cheapest) option is to do it yourself. Try to write
about something that you know about and enjoy - your enthusiasm will
come across in your newsletter and stimulate interest in the reader.
If you find yourself struggling for content, there are a number of
resources which will provide free content for your newsletter in return
for promotion of the author (in the form of their signature file or
"resource box"). Just do a search for "free content"
or "free articles" on your favourite search engine - you'll
have plenty to choose from.
