I'm definately going to look into this some more, I think, and Richard I'll take a look at that software - thanks again.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13609950740271142144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8189990767563576612.post-60933468873596907942007-07-20T07:46:00.000+00:002007-07-20T07:46:00.000+00:00I can't advise in any way, but think it is a brill...I can't advise in any way, but think it is a brilliant idea to produce a newsletter. I've thought about it myself, but havent got any further than thinking about it!<BR/><BR/>:)Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389688019328589607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8189990767563576612.post-25926360130515488152007-07-12T09:45:00.000+00:002007-07-12T09:45:00.000+00:00Hi Julia!

Newsletters are great for generating a community feel around your blog and pulling your user back in every time you send it. You can add "added value", snippets of info that weren't in your blog, etc. <BR/><BR/>I couldn't advise on tools though as we generate ours using bespoke tools and I haven't gotten around to doing one for my blog yet. <BR/><BR/>Hope this helps!Niamheenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00189620118761382168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8189990767563576612.post-51396626988327558232007-07-12T08:16:00.000+00:002007-07-12T08:16:00.000+00:00Hi JuliaAnswering this with my professional hat on...Hi Julia<BR/><BR/>Answering this with my professional hat on rather than my blogging one... (I'm an online marketer, not that you'd guess that from my site!)<BR/><BR/>If you want to send one with images, you need to find software that sends HTML email - but will also send a text-only version to people who can't receive HTML (and there are plenty of them).<BR/>One fairly cheap tool I used to use was called Dynamic Mail Communicator <A HREF="http://www.dynamicmailcom.com" REL="nofollow">available here</A>. It seemed to work OK.<BR/>It allows you to send unique (ie personalised) email in both HTML and text format (it automatically sends the right version to the right people), rather than doing a 'BCC' list.<BR/><BR/>One of the real benefits of this kind of mail is that - if you can build a big enough list - you could even sell advertising on the emails. This won't make you a millionaire overnight, but it might cover the cost of the software...<BR/><BR/>Happy to chat more about it sometime!Richard Leaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12572466846452640393noreply@blogger.com
