How can I use an email marketing site to publish my own personalized newsletter?
I have created my own personalized newsletter in publisher, however when I send as a message my graphics, images and text are removed, missing and/or blank. I don’t desire to send as an attachment and i do know that its the best way, but I can’t imagine that this is either impossible or unfix-able. So the question is, How can I fix this with publisher or even outlook? or is there a way to send a .pdf via message vs. attachment and I am willing to spend $$ if there is a email marketing site that will allow me to upload my own? Lastly Is there a website that allows my own creation that I can use my own detail and be able to send newsletters instead of their provided templates? I am desperate but I believe I will have a break through. Thanks all.
Here’s a different approach that may help you.
Publish your newsletter on a blog and email your subscribers a link to the blog post.
Doing this will also get your newslettter indexed by the search engines and drive traffic to your site helping you get your message out to more people. Stick an opt-in box in the sidebar of the blog and use plug-ins to help your readers share the content and you will soon start to get more leverage in your niche.

You have a bunch of questions. Let’s see if I can address them all:
1. When you send your newsletter, at what point the graphics are removed? When you insert it in your email program or are you talking about when it is received as a message? Keep in mind that a lot of email clients have images turned off by default, so your images will not be displayed when it is received. Also you need to send your message in the HTML mode.
I’ll tell you about a really good trick. Sign up for a free account at Getresponse (get the link from the website below). Create your message in their system and send a test message to your own email. When you get it, forward it to other people that you want to send it to. Getresponse’s system will make sure that when you create your message in your system, it is displayed correctly in major email clients and programs.
2. I don’t think that you can send a pdf document without creating a pdf attachment.
3. I think with Getresponse, you are not restricted to using their own templates, you can create your own. Let me know if you still have any more questions.
