Ways to Improve and Make Money from Your Newsletter
Our last three newsletters have covered the hot topic of email newsletters and their importance: Keeping Your Customers Informed, How to Build Your Subscriber List, and How To Write Your Newsletter. If you're new to our newsletter or have missed out on any of these editions, to view the complete series see the link at the end of this article.So having accepted the importance of producing an email newsletter, you've begun to establish your subscriber list and have started writing, or gathering content for it, how are you going to improve and make money from your publication? This month we are going to tackle Ways to Improve and Make Money from your Newsletter.Getting Your Newsletter DeliveredThe first issue is to make sure that your subscribers are opening your newsletters. It may sound obvious, they've subscribed to receive this free but valuable information of course they'll open and read it, right? Wrong! There's a whole host of delivery issues that can stop them.This can be a particular problem if you are using an html template style email as opposed to a plain text version. You may need to educate your readers about the need to add trusted senders to their address books as it is a fact that many email programmes and email address providers wont display the html content of emails sent by sources not in the recipients address book. Some won't even include the html by default even if you are in their address book! Unless your subscribers have added you to their address book, there's a good chance they won't see your HTML graphics and if your important text is contained within a graphic, they may therefore not see any part of it.So what should you do?Well, you have a few options:
Improve Newsletter Delivery with an Autoresponder Service – Email-Marketing
Improve Newsletter Delivery with an Autoresponder Service
Another powerful reason for making the switch from using
the unlimited autoresponders that come free with your web
hosting account to paying a monthly fee for an
autoresponder service is improved deliverability of
newsletters and other e-mails.Are your subscribers even getting your newsletter? You
might be shocked to find out how few of your subscribers
are actually receiving your e-mail. I know I was!Paid autoresponder services cultivate relationships with
major Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and online
services. It is in their (and your) best interests that
your e-mails get through and they work very hard to
achieve high deliverability.Some services supply a spam test to show you how spam
filters would rate your e-mail. If your spam rating
is too high, you can edit your e-mail to improve
deliverability.When I moved my newsletter over to a paid autoresponder
service, I received several e-mails from autoresponders.
They basically said that because of spam (unsolicited
commercial e-mail), I had to confirm that I was a real
person who wanted to communicate with the recipient.With the paid autoresponder service, I received these
e-mail messages and was able to respond to them in
order to try and retain my subscribers.With my previous mailing list software, supplied free
with my web hosting, I was oblivious to such events
because I received no autoresponder replies.So, by paying a modest monthly fee, your autoresponder
service can help increase profits by increasing the
deliverability of your communications.RESOURCE BOX:J. Stephen Pope, President of Pope Consulting Inc.,

How To Increase Your Sales From Your Newsletter – Ezine-Publishing
How To Increase Your Sales From Your Newsletter
The first and most important thing you should know when thinking of your own newsletter is that YOU can do it. Yes, you can write your own newsletter. There is nothing much to it if you are ready to do it.If you can write a letter or a note to someone, then you can write your own newsletter. Better still, if you can talk to someone convincingly then you can write your own newsletter. Knowing and believing in the truism of this statement is the first way to go about writing your own newsletter.There is however a difference between writing a newsletter and making sales and profit from your newsletter. My intention in this article is to show you how you can increase sales from your newsletter. If done properly, your newsletter can turn out to be a big money spinner for you every time you publish an issue.But you should be ready to put in some effort. Making money with your newsletter depends on the time and effort you put into making your newsletter a success.You have to make sure you are providing valuable content in your newsletter. This means you have to take the time to research for valuable content that your subscribers would love you for.When you provide such contents in every issue of your newsletters, your subscribers will be able to develop the love for your newsletter... and that is the beginning of moneymaking with your newsletter.These days there are a lot of newsletters on the Internet that are full of garbage. Most of the publishers write just for the sake of writing.Many others write just to promote affiliate programs. This is not only wrong but it is akin to 'shooting yourself on the foot' because it will spell more doom for you.Your subscribers subscribed for your newsletter to receive valuable content. It is therefore your responsibility to provide them such valuable content.Also, they subscribe to your newsletters they believe you are an authority in that particular field. The onus now falls on you to live up to their belief by sourcing, researching and putting together valuable content that they will greatly benefit from.If you do this all the time, they will gladly buy any product that you recommend to them.You see, people want to help those who have helped them in the past. So, by helping them with valuable content every time, they won't mind helping you too by buying the products you are recommending for them.Now, let me ask you. Will you prefer to buy something from a complete stranger or from someone who has been helping you in the past with valuable information? I bet you will buy from the latter. This is exactly how your subscribers too think.Knowing this and taking advantage of it will result in increased sales for you as a newsletter publisher.To be able to provide valuable content for your subscribers, you have to be enthusiastic about the topic of your newsletter. When you are writing about a topic that you love and are crazy about, it flows and anyone can see that. You give it your all such that anyone who reads the newsletter can feel that.Have you ever heard the saying that, 'like attracts'? This means that things of similar attributes attract themselves.If you are radiating enthusiasm, it will attract you to whoever reads your newsletter. But if you are writing your newsletter with disinterest, anyone who reads the newsletter will also be disinterested. And a disinterested subscriber will surely not buy anything from you or through you.It is also very important for you to maintain a very steady contact with your subscribers. You should make it a constant habit to send out your newsletters at the exact time your subscribers would be expecting it.It would be wrong of you to delay your newsletter and keep your subscribers waiting for it. Many of them would lose interest in the newsletter and even take you as being unserious. More so, you should occasionally send them personal messages to give them the impression that you care for them.I use this technique during festive periods such as Christmas to send out goodwill messages to all my subscribers. This greatly creates a sense of care on your side and your subscribers will be quick to notice it.This is true because the first battle you have to face in trying to sell anything to anyone is 'getting the person to feel comfortable with you'. As soon as you are able to get the person to feel comfortable with you, you will be able to sell to that person.So, by creating such a feeling of care, you can get your subscribers to love you and feel comfortable with you.There are even some newsletter publishers who ask all their subscribers to send their dates of birth to them. These newsletter publishers then send each of the subscribers' personal birthday cards and messages. Such newsletter publishers record increased sales from this gesture alone because it shows the subscribers that, 'hey, this guy cares'.One of such newsletter publishers even got an email from one of the subscribers he sent such birthday card and message to. She was so filled with joy and gratitude for that simple gesture because she did not receive any birthday message from any other person.So, such tiny personal gestures from you as a newsletter publisher can help to increase your sales by building credibility and trust between you and your subscribers.There are software programs that can even help you to automatically send out personal goodwill or birthday messages to thousands of your subscribers. This will greatly ease the stress of sending each subscriber an individual message anytime it is his or her birthday.With these few techniques you can be guaranteed of an amazing increase in sales using your newsletters.About The AuthorRon PioneerLearn more about opt in list building and newsletter publishing from my website:http://www.affila.com/contact@affila.com
