Free Newsletter Templates – Free newsletter templates, newsletter heaven or hell?

In the newsletter community the hunger for newsletter templates is running amok. Every day an increasing number of newsletter owners and managers scavenge the internet on their hunt for new templates to use. Among these templates the hunt for the elusive free newsletter templates has become something like the big game hunt in the real world.

Why Use Free Newsletter Templates?

There are obvious reasons for choosing free newsletter templates over creating them yourself or buying them. Some of the reasons are

* Free newsletter templates are free! * No risk, try and delete if not working * Collect a number and check later

All these reasons for using free templates can be connected to saving money.

Save Time with Templates

So what about saving time by using templates? Contrary to what many may think, free newsletter templates may actually be easier to handle than paid ones, when it comes to formatting. The reason for this is that the free templates are just less complicated. Often when you buy a template (cost can easily rise to $20-$60 per template), you may get a high quality template created by someone with high skills in handling the software used when creating the template.

You on the other hand will most likely not be at the same advanced level of knowledge in handling the needed software (or you would have made the template yourself). The result almost always is the same. You start out using the template and after a while the formatting goes south and it looks like a painting of Picasso. Fixing it makes it look even worse. Sounds familiar to you?

I’m not saying you should never use high quality templates or templates you buy, just that the free templates will let you get up and running without further costs, it won’t hurt if you mess it up, and you always have the option to step it up whenever you want to. Can free newsletter templates be found online?

Of course they can!

But as with everything else online today, sites using search terms to capture traffic will pop up all over the search engines and steal your attention and time. Luckily for all newsletter owners, there are sites where the owners have spent their time on chasing sites with templates and even inviting you to download templates directly. So if you find a site where the owners are willing to do all the legwork for you, hold on to it as it will save you a lot of time as well as money in the long run.

Formatting, Naming and Tools

Do not let the thought of templates derail your thought from all the other nitty gritty that comes with owning and running a newsletter. You still need tools for writing and formatting it as well as knowledge and possibly tools to create the content, and last but not least, finding and promoting products and services if you run that kind of newsletter.
