How to Start an Email Newsletter for Your Business

Step 1

Choose an email platform

Pick a reputable email marketing service. Don't send bulk email from a personal inbox. Platforms handle unsubscribes, sign-up forms and deliverability.

Step 2

Collect emails with permission

Add a sign-up form to your website and social profiles. Only email people who asked to hear from you.

Never buy email lists. They hurt deliverability, damage your reputation and often break platform rules.

Step 3

Give people a reason to join

Offer something useful, such as tips, early access or a discount, and say clearly how often you'll email.

Step 4

Set up a welcome email

Create an automated welcome email that thanks subscribers, introduces your business and delivers anything you promised.

Step 5

Follow CAN-SPAM rules

Every marketing email must use honest "From" details and subject lines, include your physical postal address and offer a clear unsubscribe link. Honor opt-outs within 10 business days.

Step 6

Send on a regular schedule

Pick a rhythm you can keep, such as every two weeks. Mix helpful content with occasional offers.

Step 7

Measure and improve

Track clicks, conversions and unsubscribes. Test subject lines and send times, and keep what works.
