I spend a lot of time studying successful newsletters and collected a list of section ideas for my own newsletter. Then I thought list would be helpful to other people who want to start their own newsletter too. So I decided to share it with you. Here they are...

#1. Table of Contents: If your newsletter is consisted of more than 3 sections, a table of contents is a must. It gives your newsletter a professional look and feel.

#2. Editor's Notes: This is best place to let your personality shine. Share your personal opinions, views, memories, and feelings here to establish a strong relationship with your readers.

#3. Feature Article: This is main part of your newsletter so focus of quality of content you provide here.

#4. Guest Article: This is an optional section. You may post another informative article by another expert here.

#5. Google AdSense: If you publish an HTML newsletter, you can easily make money from your newsletter by placing AdSense ads in each issue. The best place for ads would be in your article because it will be most read section of your newsletter so you'll get highest click-through rate here.

#6. Ask Editor: Offer your subscribers an email address or an online form to submit their questions. You can choose most common questions, answer them in an article, and publish it in your future issues. You'll get awesome article ideas this way. It will also make your newsletter interactive which creates loyal readers.

#7. Review a Helpful Product: People love an "honest" review about a helpful product that will save them time, money, or energy.

I speaking from personal experience. I once started a newsletter about a profitable niche, but I didn't enjoy writing about it. I spent a lot of time and energy choosing a name, designing a professional cover, creating an HTML template, and so on.

But after writing a couple of issues, I discovered I couldn't continue doing that for a long time. So I stopped publishing my newsletter.

If I knew this secrets earlier, I wouldn't lose that much of my time. But now you know it. I shared this secret with you so that you could save yourself a lot of time by avoiding mistake I made.
