    🎯 Relevant and Engaging Content Newsletter readers want content that is relevant to their interests and engaging enough to keep their attention. Make sure to research your target audience and cater your content accordingly. Incorporate storytelling, statistics, and actionable tips to make your content more appealing. πŸ”₯ Catchy Headlines and Subject Lines Attention-grabbing headlines and subject lines are essential to draw readers in. Keep them short, use powerful words, and avoid clickbait tactics. Experiment with emojis and personalization to make your messages stand out in crowded inboxes. πŸ“š Educational Material Readers appreciate newsletters that offer valuable resources and learning opportunities. Share industry news, how-to guides, interesting case studies, and expert advice to keep your audience informed and engaged. πŸ“± Mobile-friendly Design In 2023, people are increasingly reading their emails on mobile devices. Ensure that your newsletter is responsive and easy to read on different screen sizes. Using a tool like Mailscribe will help you design mobile-friendly newsletters without any hassle. πŸ“… Consistent Schedule Developing a consistent newsletter schedule helps your audience know when to expect your emails. Stick to a regular frequency, whether it's weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, and maintain consistent quality to keep readers interested. 🎁 Exclusive Offers and Discounts Offering exclusive deals, discounts, and early access to new products or services can be a major draw for newsletter subscribers. Tailor these promotions to your audience's interests to increase their value and incentivize sign-ups. πŸ”„ Shareable Content Create content that is easily shareable on social media platforms. Encourage your readers to share your newsletter by including social sharing buttons and occasionally running contests or giveaways for readers who share your content. πŸ“£ Feedback and Two-way Communication Finally, don't forget to listen to your audience! Encourage feedback and two-way communication, whether through email replies, surveys, or social media interactions. This will help you better understand your readers' needs and adjust your newsletter strategy accordingly. Keep these key elements in mind when creating your newsletter, and watch your engagement grow. Don't be afraid to experiment, analyze your results, and evolve your approach over time to better serve your readers!

    Also important to cover what they don’t want. They don’t want a salesy newsletter that’s just trying to pitch products for affiliate commissions. And they definitely don’t want their data to be shared with any third party whatsoever :)

    Can someone who has gone through using newsletters for customer retention say if having social sharing buttons actually works, in theory, it's perfect for referrals but I just can't imagine someone sharing a newsletter.

    It's just a gimmick to get customer emails.

    Newsletter readers want insights over information. Readers want value and results over promotional offers.
    As a subscriber, what I DON'T want are ads and mediocre AI-regurgitated content

    Do you think many prefer newsletters from popular individuals, such as YouTubers over newsletters from TechCrunch or other news sites that are less personal, etc?
