Prepare a direct mail piece that describes the benefits and features of your newsletter and pushes for subscription.... You can offer a special free booklet to new subscribers, or a discount. You may include a sample copy in the direct mail piece to show how worthwhile the publication is.

Selling newsletters, like any other direct mail or publishing enterprise, takes a lot of testing. You need to test the initial response to the idea of the topic;; and the response to the first few newsletters produced.

Pricing is always a tricky of selling information - Alex Kime. How high can you price your newsletter an still keep the number of subscribers to make it profitable? You'll find through testing that there's a plateau, and subscriptions will fall off when the price gets too high.
