What to Put in a Newsletter – The Anatomy of an E-Mail Newsletter [Infographic]

If you’re wondering what to put in a newsletter to send to your e-mail marketing list, you are not alone.

In fact, based on my research over at WordTracker, hundreds of thousands of searches are run each month on this topic alone.

So to help answer this question, and to also provide ideas for a newsletter, I created the handy infographic below.

Based on the experiences of both myself and my clients, this infographic is aimed at helping you figure out what should be in your regularly-scheduled newsletter, whether you send it every week, every month or every quarter.

In other words, the infographic below does not address e-mails for special announcements or promotions. The contents of those types of e-mails can be very different indeed.

Enjoy and, happy e-mail marketing!
