Make Newsletters Work for you

Newsletters are an excellent way for all institutions, workplaces and institutions to keep staff, customers and clients informed of news, events and new products and services. They can be used on their own to educate and inform and to raise awareness of different issues within the workplace.

And luckily for you, they are also a great way to make money. Writing newsletters do not take long at all - perhaps at most a few days of information gathering and write up, but pays well. If you get a few newsletter gigs, then provided you do a good job, there is no reason why someone would not keep you on long term.

Even better, writing newsletters for larger organizations who have a healthy budget is even more lucrative because of the potential to pay you really well. Don't be afraid to make suggestions for fillers and side articles - once an organization sees you are more than able to deliver quality content, they will be more than happy to not only take you on long term, but pay extremely well for it in the process.

And you never know where this type of work may lead - I myself started with a newsletter for a local school. This then became a report and they decided to hire me long term. This is the best way to get your foot in the door of larger organizations. If you can team up with a designer and offer a complete solution to their writing and design needs, then organizations have no need to look elsewhere.
