Default Re: Finding enough content?
Caliann,

There are plenty of ways to find content for a newsletter. You don't need to write every article yourself. In fact, just one article would be fine. The rest of the newsletter might consist of a product review, a Q & A, tips, advice on specific topics like social networking, add a contest, and so on. You could invite someone to write something for your newsletter and make a feature, 'guest author' or you can take a previously written article and expand upon that.

First think about what you want to place in your newsletter. Many people just allot a few minutes each to reading newsletters depending upon how many they subscribe to so keep length in mind. Then subscribe to other people's newsletters and see what they do. Is there a column you like or a format that appeals to you?

Jot down ideas for articles as the days progress. I keep a folder just for blog ideas that come up. When you are ready to write, see if any of the topics can be crafted into an article for your newsletter.

Keep google alerts alive with topics of interest and then read other people's articles. Do you have an opinion you would like to express? And finally, check your email Send box. If you have given out any advice to people or answered any questions someone might have asked of you, this can make for an interesting topic.
