In September I used constant contact to send out my first newsletter this month I decided to send it out myself. Let me know what you think. I still need to add info about the spree for all.

I use Microsoft Word. I convert to Adobe so that more can open it. Just started sending in Adobe last month. The file size is so much smaller and I feel confident more people will have access to it.
Thank-x for the kind compliment.
 
Rita,

I loved it!! As I have stated before in another post, when they are longer than a page I feel people dont take time to read from cover to cover. You highlighted what you needed and it only took one page to do it in. And, the wording was "Spooktacular" One of the best I have seen on here! Way to Go!
 
Both your newsletters are so inspiring! Thanks so much for sharing!

Thanks everyone for taking a look at my newsletter and letting me know what you think. I found out that I do not have to send my newsletter as an attachment. I can send it as a regulat html email right from MS Word. That has helped alot.

Hey Tracy-How did you send it as an html email rather than an attachment? :confused: I looked at my newsletter as a webpage and it came out looking very bad.
Thanks in advance! :)

Once I get everything typed and saved. I go to the file menu and click on send to. Then you can enter the addresses you want it sent to. Usually I send it to myself and do a bcc to my customers that way there should not be any problems with spammers.

Mine will send it out through outlook, I just happen to have my yahoo account setup in outlook.

monthly newsletterFor anyone who wants an excellent & very informing newsletter but is computer illiterate(?) or lack of creativity like myself I go to www.tastytidbits.net & for $3/month $6/3mths $9/6mths or$12/year she makes an excellent one. She has a sample on the website but you can't beat that price. IF you decide to use her you can use my name & email as the referral:

Shanon Martin
[email protected]

Again her newsletters are great & once she sends them to you, you can add any personalized or additional information before sending it to your customers

Rita...just a suggestion. You said in your newsletter that you will leave your lasagna recipe on your webpage one more week.....BUT no where in your newsletter do I see your website.
 
Ginger, Thanks for the notification. I had sent it to my first line to change up and for them to use. One of them caught it for me too. I'm so glad somebody checks up on me!
 
I am still trying to figure how to send my newsletter as HTML rather than attachment.Help anyone?
 
I think it depends.....on what email service you are using. Which are you on? AOL, MSM, etc...

I am using yahoo. but could also use comcast.
