TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
The bread-and-butter way to get into the newsletter biz is to do a
newsletter about your technical newsletter business, and send it around
to all the companies who might want you to do a newsletter for them.
You get paid a fee for your work, they pay for printing and distribution.
The hard way is to start your own newsletter and try to sell subscriptions
to it. Lots of people have done it successfully, of course. What
the hey.
Either way, you're going into business, and you should read as many
"how to go into business for yourself" books as you can.

"Writing is like plumbing -- even people who know how to do it will
pay top dollar to keep their hands clean."
