Creating a newsletter for your site can be a huge boost in generating traffic to your site. Give visitors the opportunity to signup for a copy and a method of opting out.
The keys to a successful newsletter are:
1. Include information and article that will help your audience. People should want to receive it because it has some value to them, not because you merely wish to sell something.
2. It is critical to know what your audience actually wants and what types of information will be of real benefit. Produce the newsletter with that in mind and it will become a valuable method of communicating with your visitors.
3. Make sure that the content is fresh and that you don't over- whelm people with the frequency. In most cases, a newsletter shouldn't be sent out more frequently than monthly or perhaps, even quarterly.
4. Only send your newsletters to those who have asked to receive it. To send it out unsolicited is considered spamming!
5. In general it is a good idea to stick to one or two topics that you may want to share with your audience. If you provide too much content people may be overwhelmed and therefore not read any of it.
6. In your newsletter have a link to your site and a way that individuals may contact you regarding questions they may have regarding the article(s) or products and services at your site.
