While the images and overall design of the newsletter are very important, its success depends largely on the quality of the text. However, in order to compose a good text, it is not enough to know grammar and have a rich vocabulary. Your text should be interesting, relevant, and readable. Here are some tips on how to write a good newsletter.
Steps
Method 1 of 1: Writing a newsletter
1 Define your target audience. Before choosing content for your newsletter, spend a little time assessing your target audience - do a demographic analysis and find out what topics your reader might be interested in. For example, a public predominantly of middle-aged women would probably not be interested in detailed descriptions of the characteristics of a product. Instead, pick a topic that touches them on a personal level. 
2 Choose a topic. Use multiple themes and create multiple sections. This will make your newsletter interesting to a wider audience. Like a newspaper with different sections, include in your newsletter a section for reader responses, letters to the editor, industry news, feature articles, etc. Add consumer reviews and recommendations for variety. ... 
3 Ask questions. Try to provide the reader with accurate information. To fully expand your coverage, ask yourself six questions: who, what, when, where, why, and how. The best articles tend to provide comprehensive information and answer all of these questions about the subject. You may need to do some research to do this, such as interviewing. But it will be worth it if you intend to make a quality newsletter and gain the trust of your audience. 
4 Study the topic. The subjective description of the subject is not always reliable. Without proper study of the topic, you run the risk of submitting incorrect information that can mislead and even outrage your audience. Provide statistics, expert opinions, and quotes to support your research. Be sure to provide a link to the source - magazine, website, book, and where necessary indicate the name of the copyright holder. 
5 Make the text clear to the reader. Use precise and clear vocabulary to keep your text readable. Avoid too much verbosity. For example, instead of combining an adverb with a verb, use a verb that has the same meaning. 
6 Use interesting headlines. Come up with loud headlines that will pique your curiosity. Without an interesting title, readers may find your article uninteresting and skip it. Headlines are one of the keys to building reader loyalty, as a good headline means a well-written article and a good article means a good newsletter. If your article has multiple paragraphs, use subheadings to separate the text. 
7 Proofreading. After writing articles, proofread for typos and consistency of style and terminology. Don't trust proofreading tools to automatically check grammar and spelling. They are good for preliminary checks, but cannot replace manual overrides. Have another person proofread your text for errors, as working on the text for a long time, you can easily miss something. Remember - adjustments are never too much. Once you decide that the text is well edited, check it again. Even rare mistakes can sow doubts among readers about your professionalism.
