<p>Here&#8217;s an example of a really super email newsletter. Even if you&#8217;re not a Yogi, it should be clear that this newsletter offers real value to its readers.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what makes it so great:</p>
<ul>
<li>It&#8217;s <strong>not too long</strong>: You don&#8217;t have to set aside a special time in the day to read the whole thing. It&#8217;s distraction friendly.</li>
<li>The marketing &#8216;<strong>call-to-action</strong>&#8216; &#8212; the teaching schedule &#8212; is nicely separated out in the sidebar and highly visible, and it doesn&#8217;t overwhelm the newsletter with self-promotional material.</li>
<li>The introduction is <strong>personal and friendly</strong> and is <strong>relevant</strong> to the intended audience.</li>
<li>The cooking recipe at the bottom gives the newsletter <strong>real value</strong>. This is giving something away for <strong>free</strong>, and it&#8217;s a great incentive to keep visitors subscribed to the newsletter.</li>
<li>The overall layout is easy on the eyes, and has a good <strong>balance of text to images.</strong></li>
</ul>
