many benefits in terms of driving traffic into your site as well
as boosting the sales and profits of your site and company. This
is a marketing ploy that will not hugely dent your marketing
budget and will not also require many man-hours in developing
this project.
With a newsletter, you can inform the public about your company
and products as well as services. You can keep them posted and
updated about what's going-on with your company as well as many
of your promotions and offerings. With these, you keep on
reminding your subscribers that you are still here and is
willing to offer them good deals and services.
Newsletters also allow you to impress your subscribers. It can
show your expertise and knowledge about the topic at hand and
the many benefits you can offer them. When you impress people,
they will become potential customers and another great thing is
that they can recommend you to their friends, colleagues and
family. All of them could very well be customers in the future.
If you do not have a newsletter or publishing one for your site,
then you may have to consider about researching and be well
informed on how to publish one. It is not as easy as it seems
but if and when you get the right idea and process, it will be
smooth sailing from there on. Try to take the time to learn what
you need to learn and get that newsletter ready and good to
attract subscribers to your newsletter as well as traffic to
your site.
In the next few paragraphs, I will provide you with some things
to reflect on when you decide to start your own newsletter for
your site. Here are five things to consider when publishing a
newsletter.
1) Make sure that the content of your newsletter pertains to and
closely associated with your business or the theme of your site.
Do not dwell too far on what could be regarded as your field of
expertise. You have started a site and your theme for your site
will always be something you are knowledgeable about. For
example; if you have a site that sells auto car parts, your
newsletter must contain articles or content like photos that
pertain to cars, auto parts and such. You may also include
content about your company and your staff.
Remember that visitors of a certain site are there because they
are interested in what the site has to offer. If they sign up
for an opt-in list or for a newsletter this means that they want
to be updated for that certain theme or subject. Be sure that
when you publish your newsletter you are providing for the need
of the subscriber as well as their interests.
2) Ensure that you have well written, information riddled and
content rich articles. You articles will be the body of your
newsletter and that they should be able to excite your readers
as well as provide information. Articles should be well written
and checked for errors such as spelling and grammatical errors
for it to look professional and believable. The trust of your
client to you and newsletter is at stake here.
3) Fact-check your articles. Make sure that you provide true
facts and figures so that your reputation as an expert and
knowledgeable in that field is not questioned. If you lose the
trust of your subscribers these may persuade them to unsubscribe
to your newsletter. You will lose many potential sales this way.
4) Provide fresh and new articles that can provide new
information to your subscribers. If you publish stale and old
news in your newsletter, there is a tendency that people or your
subscribers already have read and known about them. This will
lose their interest in your newsletter and they wont get to read
what is most important, your ads. They may not open or read any
of your succeeding newsletters losing your intention in writing
and publishing newsletters, to get them to visit your site and
make a purchase.
5) Never use copyrighted materials such as photos and articles.
This is outright plagiarism, you may get into a lot of trouble
for this. You can lose your business and get sued over copyright
infringement. If you do not have the time to write your own
articles, there are many willing and able professional article
writers that can do it for you for a reasonable fee. All your
investment in writing and publishing articles will be well worth
it when you see your list build up and your traffic increasing.
