How to queue email in a job with attachment laravel

Question

I have created a queue job to send an email to my batch of users it works fine when I send an email with an attachment. But when I add the file to queue I get an error that says unable to serialize content.

and here is my code

$emailJob = (new SendNewsletter($id, $request->flag, $attachments))->delay(Carbon::now()->addSeconds(3));
        dispatch($emailJob);

You should not include your file in the job directly. Rather do something like this:

1. Store the file on disk
2. Create a job using the file path of the file on disk
3. When processing the job:
   1. Retrieve the file from disk
   2. Send your newsletter
   3. Delete the file from disk
