Meeting Needs

Do design and words run thick in your blood? Do you enjoy sharing your ideas with like-minded individuals and convincing not-so-like-minded individuals that you possess a valid viewpoint? Consider sharing your ideas with a focused, clear, newsletter. If you can do this, you will have found your niche in the publishing world and opened your own newsletter home business.

Consider Laurie. Laurie is a 40-something-year-old mother of three who lives in Arkansas. She is a Bible-believing church attender, but her husband of nearly 20 years is not. He takes Laurie and her children to church and picks them up after he has finished running his Sunday morning errands. Laurie grieves this separation between her and her husband, and yet she understands her role as a spiritual leader in the home. Thus Laurie began a newsletter entitled WASG Line (Women As Spiritual Heads) for like-minded women and similarly stubborn husbands. Her newsletter continues to grow to this day. What did she do to create such a successful newsletter?

Laurie first saw a need. She saw the need in her own life for encouragement from and for like-minded people. She herself needed some boosting on a regular basis as she attempted to help her children learn about the things she loved most while her husband stood idly by. When she identified that need in her own life, she took action by attempting to meet it through conversations with others, Bible studies, and books.

Then Laurie sought to meet the same need for other women. She identified a need and a core audience, and then she printed out about 20 newsletters for those in her Bible study that needed the encouragement. She used their stories as fodder initially (with their permission of course). Eventually the desire for Laurie's newsletter grew. She sought out donations at first, and then charged a modest fee for a regular subscriber to the newsletter.

As you consider publishing a newsletter, begin researching newsletter designs. Utilize a catchy, sharp design that will draw your readers in. Also, focus on the content of the letter. You will want to organize it logically, with a sort of small table of contents in the corner on the first page. Use both humorous and practical material in the newsletter to cover a variety of needs.

When you see a need, consider how your words and design skills can help meet that need. Many individuals just need a verbal boost or some practical advice, and a newsletter can do just that. It's not a lucrative home business, but it's a practical one that any writer and designer can accomplish.

Furthermore, the newsletter home business will help meet specific needs close to the heart of the newsletter writer. Eventually, the experience gained from the newsletter can turn into an actual book and a real published material, printed from a professional press and marketed by a professional publishing company. However, before you jump head-first into the non-fiction market, you must cut your teeth, and the newsletter business is a great place to start.
