Making money with print newsletters can be a way to earn extra cash or start your own business from home. Print newsletters can help bring in your targeted audience to your website or store. You can also make money with print newsletters by charging for advertising space. It just takes some planning.

Instructions

1. Choose a niche topic for your print newsletter. If you already own or run your own business, it will need to reflect what your business is all about. If you sell computer parts, your newsletter topics should be about computers, Internet technology and gadgets. If you offer business coaching for home businesses, your newsletter should be about home business and self-employment. The angle you choose should reflect your business.

2. Create an editorial guideline for your print newsletter. This will help you keep the newsletter flowing with each printing. It will help give you structure when writing (or hiring a writer to write) the newsletter. There should be certain things discussed in each newsletter, and you can name each one. For example you could have news, tips, ideas, advice and resources. Make a template that you can use over and over again.

3. Choose how often you will have a new print newsletter out. This could be weekly, biweekly, monthly or quarterly. If you print more often, you will have a better chance of getting more traffic and sales. However, your budget and schedule might require that you start off with a less frequent schedule than you would like.

4. Choose the layout of your print newsletter. The layout design of your print newsletter is important. You need to add pictures and graphics to your newsletter to make it easier to read as well as more interesting. You could take your own photos or purchase them online. See Resources for help with the layout and for places to buy photos.

5. Choose a printer. If you are not going to print your own newsletters, you will need to choose an outside business to do it for you. Request samples from printers in your area. Choose the one that best fits your budget and has the best quality.

6. Get permission to place your print newsletter in local doctor's offices, attorney's offices, banks, dentist's offices and any other place that is related to your print newsletter. For example, if you print a newsletter about animals, you should have your newsletter available in vet offices and pet stores in your area. Ask the owner if it would be all right to drop off your newsletter when new ones are printed.
