For an e-newsletter I use Aweber, which is an autoresponder. If you are talking about a traditional print newsletter then I use Microsoft Publisher. Hope this helps, Kim __________________ Kim Beckers Online Business Manager

I've been asked if I would do a monthly newsletter sent out by e-mail for some Direct Sales Consultants. I'm trying to figure out how to do it as a template. Basically it's showing all the monthly specials etc.. And each consultant has highlights top sales, top recuriters etc... Laurie

It has some irritating bugs in it, but for the most part is great and pretty affordable. I haven't investigated Aweber just yet. __________________ Tamika R.

You pay per email address rather than a flat rate a month. For example, if you were sending out 1,000 newsletters, it would cost something like $15.00. If you send out less, it's considerably less expensive. For those who only send out one newsletter a month or even quarterly, it's a deal. __________________ Julia

Affordable and has lots of cool templates. __________________ Cheryl Richey Carte Blanche Assistance, LLC Virtual Assistance...Creating Time for You!

Remote Admin Services is ready ...   Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: New Jersey Posts: 168 Re: Newsletters I use MailChimp since I only send out my newsletters 4x a year and my mailing list is still relatively small. I use the credit option, rather than the monthly fee. I love the templates they offer and it is relatively easy to work with. If I had to go with the monthly option for any reason, I would go with Constant Contact. A lot business colleagues and a couple of clients of mine use it and have been very happy with it. __________________ Lisa George Remote Admin Services Web:http://remoteadminservices.com Blog:http://remoteadminservices.wordpress.com
