51 NEWSLETTER CONTENT IDEAS YOUR SUBSCRIBERS WILL ACTUALLY READ

Just in case you don’t know, your newsletter content is the key to your cash! Email marketing, nurturing your email list, and engaging your email list in the right ways, can be the difference between a ZERO dollar blog and a 6-figure blog. I know that one of the biggest struggles is not necessarily whether or not to send emails (even newbie bloggers know they need to be connecting with their list in some way), but WHAT type of content they should be sending in those emails that will make them stand out.

Well lucky for you, I’ve come up with 51 of The Best Newsletter Content Ideas that will keep your email list active and your subscribers engaged!

ARE YOU GIVING YOUR LIST THE LOVE IT NEEDS?

A lot of bloggers believe that if they just get enough people to their blog and throw up enough opt-in forms that their email list will grow. But here’s the problem. The internet is a noisy place and the competition is thick. Getting people ON your list is the easy part. The hardest thing for an online entrepreneur is keeping the attention of your subscribers once they’ve joined your community.

Newsletters are often an after-thought. It’s the thing you think about doing when you “have time” or when you have “something to sell”, but your newsletter should be a top priority as it has the ability to expand your influence, increase your engagement, and boost your community.

You don’t want a boring newsletter that adds no value to your subscribers.  You want a newsletter that is going to inform, entertain, empower and engage your subscribers in a way that makes them want to stick around.

So if you are collecting email addresses but are stuck when it comes to holding on to them, this blog post is going to be a game changer for you. I’ve even made it easy and separated the newsletter content ideas by niche and interest.

IDEAS FOR BLOGGERS WHO TEACH ABOUT BLOGGING

If you are a blogger that helps other bloggers and online entrepreneurs build successful businesses online, here are some newsletter content ideas your subscribers will actually want to read.

• Share success stories and testimonials from real customers: Your customers are your most promising ambassadors. It’s a good look to share success stories with the rest of your audience. Not only do you get to show that what you teach works, your customer gets exposure and encouragement, and your readers get inspired by someone else’s achievements. It’s a win-win-win type of situation!!

• Create a how-to checklist for growing a successful blog: If you are having success as a blogger, you better believe that people are going to want to know what it is that you are doing that’s allowed you to see so much success. Give your audience a checklist of how you create your blog posts, what you include, how you structure them and what you do after you hit publish!

• Branding your blog: Building a stand out brand can be hard for bloggers especially if they do not believe they are “creative” enough. So why not give them some brand building tips that helped you create a brand you love.

• Create a mini-course or series of tools, tips, & techniques you use: There are thousands of tools and techniques out there for growing a profitable blog. Share the tried and tested tools you use and the strategies of how you use them to help your subscribers cut through the clutter. And make sure you add your affiliate links!

• Interview other bloggers in your niche: Whether it’s a podcast or a Youtube video, leverage the expertise of others and share it with your audience. It’s always a great way to mix things up and give your subscribers a fresh, new perspective and voice they can listen to.

• Newsletter on social media growth techniques & tips for each platform: Obviously social media is huge and some platforms are harder to crack than others. Whether you are seeing phenomenal success on social media or falling short on some platforms, sharing your results and what you’ve tried (good and bad) can be extremely beneficial to your audience.

• Printable checklist for blog tax preparation and money management tips: So the one thing you rarely see bloggers talking about is taxes. But if you are building a legitimate business and teaching your community to do the same, you want to talk about all the aspects that go into becoming a successful entrepreneur. Knowing what to do with your money after you make it is important too. So don’t be afraid to share tax tips, wealth building tips, and other money-management strategies.

• Tips for generating income through blogging: So speaking of making money…you will find that your audience may be looking for other sources of income. If you have found additional ways to make money that would resonate with your community, share them. These tips could be making money with your blog, app development, affiliate income or other income sources that can supplement their blog income.

• Invite your subscribers to join your community: The support doesn’t have to end in your subscriber’s email inbox. Give them the opportunity to engage with you outside of email by inviting them to join your online community or forum. It’s also a great way for them to connect with other like-minded members of your community.
