There’s nothing new about newsletters. Most schools, churches, business and professional organizations have them, in order to keep members updated on important information and upcoming events. During the latter half of the 20th century, businesses got “into the act,” purchasing mailing lists and beginning to send out marketing newsletters to potential customers, along with their past and current ones. This activity still occurs somewhat, as anyone who receives daily mail delivery will confirm. More efficient, and certainly less expensive, however, is the newer form of marketing – the Internet. Now, most businesses have a website and, as an arm of that, have developed an email list of customers and potential customers to whom they can send e-newsletters from time to time. The products and/or services, however, remain their source of income.
What if a newsletter itself could become a great source of income? Actually, it has, for many individuals. Anyone who checks out “Yahoo Finance” will find quite a number of individuals who offer subscriptions to their newsletters, for a fee, so that subscribers can gain some hot stock picks or expert investing advice. Other newsletters are touted on a variety of websites and on article directories and blogs. Subscription prices are moderate because there are no paper, printing, or mailing costs involved, and the profit comes from sheer numbers of subscribers!
All of this may cause you to wonder how to start a newsletter business of your own. Certainly, there is money to be made if you are serious about this opportunity, but it will require some careful thought and probably some assistance from seasoned newsletter professionals. There are a few preliminary steps you can do on your own, however.
First, you must have an overall topic for a newsletter. This is where consumer need and your expertise will meet. Are you particularly skilled in home improvement, in personal finance, in real estate investing, in holiday crafts? Are you a retired teacher, accountant, small business owner, or attorney? Have you traveled extensively? The key is to find your interest, expertise, or hobby, formulate a newsletter based upon this, and to make certain that there is interest in or need for what you have to offer. Indeed, you may have more than one area of expertise, and these would provide you with multiple newsletters. Perhaps you have friends or colleagues who could provide additional expertise. I know of one individual whose abiding interest was worm framing, and he was able to generate substantial profit with a newsletter dedicated to the “green” functions of this little creature, as well as the money-making opportunities of worm farming.
The next steps will be more complicated, especially if you are not proficient in finding markets and conducting effective marketing campaigns that are Internet-based. It is probably time to find that expertise elsewhere. Many have tried this by themselves, and many have failed. They have purchased e-mail marketing lists, advertised on related websites, and attempted to gain a wide presence on article directories, blogs and forums, but have not done so effectively, and, within months, they give up.
