1. Make an Ideas List
If you’ve been writing articles for a while you know yourbrightest ideas don’t usually come to your mind when you needthem. Actually you usually get the best ideas when you’re doingsomething else and thinking about another thing.
But everything changes when you decide to sit and write anarticle… you get the writer’s block. You really need a goodidea for your next issue… but your mind doesn’t help a bit.

After a short time you’ll havea list full of creative ideas for your next 20 issues at least.So whenever you want to write an article you simply take a lookat your list and choose an idea you feel like writing about.

You might know many great books software programs and servicesthat will benefit your newsletter readers. So why not write anhonest review about one of them to help your subscribers makethe right decision?

7. Interview an Expert in Your Field
People like to hear success stories and learn how successfulpeople have reached to where they are now. You can interviewsuccessful people in your field by email or phone.
Wellknown experts are usually very busy so they won’t acceptlong interviews. In general the more famous an expert is theshortest your interview must be or they won’t accept it.
The experts you choose to interview should not necessarily bevery famous like multimillionaires. They hardly accept to letyou interview them. You can interview an ordinary person who hasbeen fairly successful in your field.

10. Use Guest Articles
Don’t feel like writing an article or just don’t have the time?No problem. You can publish someone else’s article in yournewsletter for free. I’ve introduced some large articledirectories here in this article in Idea 5.
Since it’s much easier to copy and paste a written article thanspending time on writing your own you may be tempted to useguest articles as your main article in many of your issues. Butdo yourself a favor and don’t do it too often. Let me explainwhy…
What’s the goal of your newsletter? Isn’t it to win yourprospects’ trust and prove your expertise to sell them your ownproducts or affiliate products? So if you don’t write themajority of your newsletter articles yourself how can you proveyour expertise?
Final Thoughts
I hope this article helps you get creative article ideas foryour newsletter. But if you haven’t found a good idea yet don’tpush yourself too hard. Don’t point a gun to your mind and orderit to give you a great idea or you will shoot. :
After all it’s YOUR mind. It’s what has always helped you inyour business… and your life. So be kinder to it. Relax andtake sometime off. Go outside and let your mind rest for awhile. Don’t even think about your newsletter.
Then get back to this article and try to find a good idea. Ifyou get an idea for your next issue well done! I’m happy foryou!
But if you still can’t seem to come up with anything noproblem. Just send a message to your readers and let them knowyou won’t publish your newsletter this week/month.
And remember… your happiness your health and enjoying yourlife is what matters the most. You don’t have to write yournewsletter until next week next month… or even next year.Your newsletter is just a small part of your business… andyour business is only a small part of your life.
Wish you happiness health and wealth! :
