A Bletter Newsletter
Bletter (www.bletter.com) is a FREE online service for creating basic electronic newsletters, in plain text and HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) with hyperlinks and graphics. Bletter is one of those old-fashioned Internet services that exists, it seems, just to help people.
Bletter takes a little practice to learn; nevertheless, it’s a terrific free tool, especially if you need help creating an HTML newsletter.
**Bletter.com also will be helpful in creating "Blogs" **
8 Tips For A Successful Newsletter
- Use original photos and artwork whenever possible. Clip art and stock photos are easy to spot, and they give the publication a canned feel.
- Readers love interviews. Do a quick Q&A with a model employee, an old relative, or a professional in your field.
- Use numbers in article titles, such as “Five Steps To A Perfect Cheesecake.”
- Include regular sections such as classified ads, a calendar, and employee of the month.
- If you aim to create a for-profit newsletter, you must include information people are willing to pay for: trade secrets, sales leads, product reviews, or insider gossip.
- Have a sense of humor. Include a cartoon, a joke, or an amusing anecdote in each issue.
- If you run a successful business with a solid customer base, consider a free newsletter with paid advertisements from related vendors.
- Two words: Spell check.

Creating
Newsletters for Your Employer or Just to Keep Co-workers informed
When writing a newsletter,
think journalism geared toward your co-workers.
If there is no company
policy about your subject, then find out management's attitude toward
your subject and write
your newsletter accordingly.
Newsletters are similar
to magazine articles because both have a set tone and style to follow.
However, in newsletters
it is advisable to follow the old
"who, what, when, where,
and how" of journalism
