There is no better way of having a constant group of targeted
visitors to your website than by building a relationship with
them through an online newsletter. Finding fresh and relevant
content for the newsletter is vital, from this perspective, as
you want to give your readers something of value, something they
look forward to on a weekly basis. There are different ways of
making sure that the content of your online newsletter is
accurate, attractive and relevant:

Writing your own content - this may be the best approach if you
are a skilled writer and you know how to put your thoughts "on
paper". This is also the most time consuming and difficult task,
but you can really "brand" the newsletter with your name if you
do so.

Hiring a professional writer - another good approach to getting
relevant text for your newsletter. It's a good idea to use the
same writer over and over again if he or she produces excellent
texts in a constant manner.

Interviewing people - when you publish an interview you
automatically bring more professionalism to your newsletter.
This is especially true if you get an interview with an
authority in the field you are in. An interview with an industry
expert can be a memorable newsletter issue that you can also use
to promote your site externally.

Using case studies - using specific case studies and success
stories from your area of coverage is another excellent method
of diversifying your newsletter content and increasing its
value. Case studies are also great motivational factors,
especially if they are about a person using products or services
available on your website.

Columnists - if you run a multi page newsletter you can also
have regular columnists or guest columnists writing for you.
Many webmasters or writers will do this for free, in order for
them to get more exposure or to be able to display their link at
the bottom of the column. This is also a good opportunity to
find some talented writers and maybe ask them to write regularly.

Covering events and seminars - if you or one of your staff
members participate in an event, seminar or study relevant to
your industry, make sure to cover it in your newsletter.

Using press releases - you can often get hot information in the
newsletter by inserting a press release.

Ezine articles - this is an excellent source of free content for
your newsletter. There are hundreds of good article directories
and ezines where you can browse for articles relevant to your
niche.

Putting everything together

Your newsletter can enjoy the variety of all the above-mentioned
content types. While some can be placed in the newsletter at
random times (interviews, seminar coverage), others should
become constant (columns, editorials). Your users will
appreciate the diversity of content types as long as it doesn't
get too confusing. You can also gradually build your newsletter
depending on the response you get from your visitors when faced
with different content types.
