The Ultimate Guide to Structuring & Formatting Your Newsletter Issues

Break it Down for Easy Consumption

Welcome to the world of captivating newsletters, where every word matters and every click is precious. Here are 7 tips to structure your newsletter perfectly.

#1 Go for click-worthy headlines

Craft click-worthy headlines that captivate and entice. Use power words and intriguing phrases to evoke emotions and spark curiosity. Be concise, impactful, and leave a lasting impression. Balance brevity with an irresistible promise, ensuring the content lives up to expectations. Engage readers, leaving them hungry for more.

#2 Break up your content

Break up your content into bite-sized chunks using headings, subheadings, and bullet points. No long, daunting paragraphs.

#3 Keep it concise

Who says size matters? Newsletter issues thrive when they’re concise and to the point. Aim for the sweet spot of 500–1000 words, but remember, shorter is better if you’re a frequent publisher, and longer can be a treat for those who await your gems less often.

#4 Use examples and stories

Ever wondered what makes a newsletter issue truly unforgettable? It’s the power of personal anecdotes and captivating examples that bring your words to life. Don’t forget to sprinkle some real-life experience.

#5 End with a call to action

As you reach the grand finale of your current issue, make it count! Wrap with a call to action like a simple “Continue Reading” button, a nudge to join your newsletter, or a hint to leave a comment and share your content across the web.

#6 Colored buttons & dividers

Visual aids are the secret sauce for read ratio and click rates. A large colored button for further readings is just as important as dividers to visually separate sections.

#7 Relevant media for engagement

It’s time to take your issue to the next level by incorporating relevant media that captivates and engages your readers. Images that paint a thousand words, GIFs that bring your words to life, and videos that transport your audience to another dimension—these visual delights will create an immersive experience like few others.

The bottom line

Keep in mind that the utmost importance lies in delivering value to your readers. This isn’t like social media. Your newsletter serves as a direct connection between you and your readers individually. For many people, it’s a big deal to let you into their personal inboxes. Treat this privilege with respect!
