Regeneration charity Ruralnet UK is sell its daily e-mail briefings to businesses
via its trading subsidiary, RNUK.
Can you make money from e-mail newsletters, particularly
one that has been published for free? Ruralnet UK believe they can, by marketing
it to companies.

The charity’s Xpress Digest is sent out daily to 500 voluntary organisations, and
lists 16 items of news from UK and European funders. It was first published in 2002.

The service will be sold to businesses for £250 a year, and Ruralnet hopes the profits
will subsidise the costs of publishing it for free to voluntary organisations.
