10-Minute Marketing: write an email newsletter
I often hear people tell me they dread writing and sending a email newsletter. I, on the other hand, love them. Why? It’s an easy way to stay in touch with clients (I always hear from someone or receive a new project after sending a newsletter).
Also, I have the process down to a system: short lead-in article that links to a blog post, a few callouts about recent newsworthy items.
It wasn’t always this easy for me. I used to spend hours preparing (or agonizing over) a newsletter. Now I can knock one of these out in a half-hour!
Having a
clear strategy for what I was trying to accomplish, paired with a
simple editorial calendar made all the difference. With that in mind, before you start writing your next newsletter, review your
marketing strategy (who are you trying to reach and why) and you’ll find writing so much easier.
