Why reinvent the wheel, just use it. Instead of trying to create your own newsletter from scratch, you can go and find one that is readily made. You may just use it as it is or use it as a model for creating your own. The question is where to find these newsletter samples.
Your emailbox. If you have been online for a while, you have probably subscribed to a number of newsletters. You may be reading some of them or just neglecting all of them. Some of these are just worthless that you may wish to block them or just delete them for good. In spite of their poor quality, these newsletters can be an outstanding source for ideas and inspiration for your newsletter.
Ezine directories. Another place to check for samples is ezine directories. These directories list newsletters according to the topic they treat or discuss. You can simply head to the category of your interest to find similar newsletters. These newsletters are more beneficial to you because of their relevancy. Find some good samples that you can use as a model.
Offline magazines. Since online magazines can be seen as an extension to offline magazines, there are so many similarities between them. You can check successful real world magazines and use them as a model for your online newsletter.
Newsletter templates. If you google the keyword 'newsletter templates', you will find plenty of templates that are readymade for you to use. It is possible to use these templates as they are if you know no HTML. However, if you have at least some basic mastery of HTML, you can adjust these templates to suit your needs or just to give them a unique look. This will help you stand out from the crowd.
This list of ideas is by no means exhaustive of all sources of newsletter sample ideas. There are other sources of inspiration, just do some brainstorming to generate them.
