Top 3 Free Ways to Find the Perfect Design for Your Newsletter

by Ladan Lashkari

 

 

Did you know that your newsletter design has such a big

impact on your newsletter success that it can both kill your

readership or attract more and more readers every time you

send a new issue?

 

Yes, that's a fact.

 

The good news is you don't have to come up with a newsletter

design from scratch. You can easily save yourself a lot of

time by finding a ready-made newsletter template or design

that you like and use it for your newsletter.

 

Actually finding the perfect design for your newsletter can

be very easy when you know where to look. Here are 3 helpful

tips...

 

--------------------------------------------------

Tip #1: Take a Look at Your Favorite Newsletters

--------------------------------------------------

 

You're most probably a subscriber to a number of good

newsletters that you usually read and enjoy. So simply see

which one has a more professional look that you like. You can

get great design ideas this way.

 

----------------------------------------

Tip #2: Use Free Newsletter Templates

----------------------------------------

 

There are some websites that offer free newsletter templates

for you to use as your own newsletter design. The best part

is that you can make any changes to these templates that you

wish, so you can completely customize their look and feel.

 

You can easily change their colors and styles, add your own

pictures, and of course write your own newsletter content

into them.

 

Just imagine how much time it will save you. That's why

newsletter templates are so popular.

 

--------------------------------------------------

Tip #3: Check Out Professional Website Templates

--------------------------------------------------

 

Here's another powerful technique that few people know

about...

 

You see, there are millions of professional websites out

there whose design will also look great for your newsletter.

So you can simply use them for your newsletter.

 

How? That's easy: These websites are in HTML, so is your

newsletter. So with a little customization, that website

template will turn into a newsletter template.

 

The best thing is that the number of good, professional

"website" designs is much more than "newsletter" designs, so

when you look for website templates, you have a better chance

of finding a great template for your newsletter.

 

This is one of the powerful techniques that few people are

aware of, so taking advantage of it will make you stand above

the crowd.

 

--------------------

* Final Thoughts

--------------------

 

There's one last tip that will help you choose the perfect

design for your newsletter...

 

Before you look for a good newsletter design, it's important

that you first decide which format you would like your

newsletter to be in. You have these 3 options...

 

- Text

- HTML

- PDF

 

Text templates are easier to create because you just need to

write in plain text and send it out to your subscribers.

 

On the other hand, text newsletters can't include any colors

or pictures, so they look pretty boring to some people.

 

But if you publish your newsletter in HTML, you can create a

more exciting and interesting design for your newsletter to

attract more readers. Also HTML newsletter templates are

easier to find rather than text or PDF templates.

 

So ask yourself if you prefer a faster newsletter format

(text), or a more professional and attractive one (HTML).

 

To your newsletter publishing success,

Funny for the Week

 

IN A VACUUM

 

A blonde was playing Trivial Pursuit one night.

It was her turn. She rolled the dice and she landed

on Science &Nature. Her question was, "If you are in

a vacuum and someone calls your name, can you hear it?"

She thought for a time and then asked, "Is it on or off?"

Feedback

 

Hi Jan,

 

This is related to Mary's comments about the "How Many

of Me" website and how it could lead to identity theft.

 

What I find even more disturbing is a website that my

son-in-law recently told me about called zabasearch.com.

 

When entering my name in the search, not only did it give

my home address and phone number, it also included the

month AND year of my birth.

 

In all honesty, I must admit that through this website

my husband located an Army buddy that he had lost contact

with approx. 12 years ago and I myself found an uncle that

my family has been trying to find for several years.

 

But even with our good luck from using this search,

the implications of what the website could be used

for bothers me.

P.S. To our surprise, my Uncle Dewey lives only

90 minutes away from me.

Hi Jan,

 

Thanks for getting back to me - twice!

 

About the broken links - you are quite welcome.

 

I meant to get back to you earlier but it's been crazy here.

 

I'm still not sure about the informing subscribers about

inhouse and outside advertisers. It seems really silly.

Can't remember the last time I turned on the radio or

opened a magazine to find such a notice. Don't do TV

but I imagine it's the same way :-)

 

Guess I'm just getting tired of the lawyers micromanaging

my life.

 

Thanks again.

Glad I could help.

 

Andy
