First, what is an online newsletter?
Well, it is just a way of you communicating with previous and existing visitors, whilst possibly making them an offer. A newsletter could give details of latest hints and posts, or a summary of new additions on your site and links to go to in order to read them fully. You might want to use a newsletter, or ezine, as a way of communicating special offers to customers in the hope that they will come back to your web site and buy from you.

Frequently you would send the online newsletter via email direct to the reader’s email address. So, if they are interested in whatever you are offering, they will give you there email address and probably a few other details. For example, they might tell you exactly which types of offers they are interested in.

So an online newsletter is easily a way of sending a newsletter to signed up visitors direct to their email box.

How does an online newsletter generate traffic?
An online newsletter is aimed at people who have already visited your website and want to find out more. It is not aimed at new visitors, unless you fall to the level of spam lists with their pathetic success rates. Do not get involved with spam!

Instead you are sending previous traffic offers and latest updates. You are hoping to tempt them back in excess of to your site, probably to read a latest interesting post or to have a look at latest stock and your brilliant new offers.

It may, at first, seem that because the newsletter is targeted at previous traffic that there is a limited audience and that a small target audience will give limited results. But the fact is that these people have already visited your site, they are interested in it and what you provide and have had the confidence in your site to give you their email addresses.

This all mounts up to one vital factor – they are highly potential to respond to your newsletter now and in the future.

So it does not drive new visitors to your web site, but encourages qualified previous visitors to make the return trip, maybe even then remembering to come back again in the future.

And there’s more?
What happens when the offer that you put in the newsletter is too good to miss? What happens when the latest post that you are talking around is a must read piece of information? Well the recipients are your fans, and this means that if the online newsletter contains something valuable, they may even pass it onto their friends. So driving brand new traffic is likely through an online newsletter, merely not the main traffic generation method.

In conclusion
An online newsletter is actually very straightforward to set up, with various sites offering such services totally for free. Make good offers to encourage your visitors to sign up for the newsletter and make further offers in the newsletters to ensure that they stay subscribed and are tempted into visiting your website.
