Imagine
the next time you join a discussion about using RSS. When
you start sharing the fascinating RSS facts below, your
friends will be absolutely amazed.
Sometimes the most important aspects of a subject are not
immediately obvious. Keep reading to get the complete
picture.
RSS is widely becoming a very powerful marketing tool on
the Internet. It has been picked up by Internet marketers
around the world every day who knows about its usefulness.
Nevertheless, there are still a majority of people on the
Internet who haven’t used RSS to syndicate their
content.
This new technology can change the way you keep in touch
with your subscribers or readers permanently in a lot of
ways. For people who still don’t know what the RSS is,
here’s a definition - RSS is an acronym for "Really
Simple Syndication" or "Rich Site Summary",
and the XML extension is the format used for distributing
your NEWS Headlines via the Web, which is known as
Syndication.
Syndication is what makes RSS so powerful - you can
unleash your message across the web instantly to your
subscribers and readers through RSS. So what are the 8
most powerful reasons you should be using RSS? Read below:
1. Readers can opt-into feeds.
Like autoresponders, RSS allows your prospects to opt-into
the feeds they are interested in and also be able to
opt-out when they want to through their RSS feeds reader.
It is almost similar to building a list of subscribers!
2. You don’t have to maintain an RSS feed.
This is a “burden-take-off” for savvy and busy
Internet marketers as RSS is free to use and it doesn’t
require that much effort as building a list. Of course,
everything has its pros and cons. When you don’t need to
spend time for your opt-ins, you won’t have a closer
relationship with them and it makes promoting your product
much harder.
3. You have the ability to Syndicate your content.
This is the true power of RSS. It gives you the ability to
Syndicate your content – and e-mail your subscribers
instantly letting your them know about your content right
away.
4. Promotions and sales.
Again, similar to an autoresponder RSS lets you broadcast
your promotions to your subscribers. This way, you can
earn money through your RSS feeds as well.
5. No filter problems.
Every RSS feed passes through e-mail filters. You won’t
have to worry about your message being filtered anymore
while syndicating an article. All your messages are
delivered 100% to your subscribers.
6. No spam complaints.
People who want to subscribe for your RSS feeds will need
to do it with their RSS reader. They will need to abide by
the Privacy Policy that you are allowed to send them your
syndication anytime without being called spamming. Another
great feature!
7. Many ways to read feeds.
RSS is very versatile because it lets you read feeds in
many different media platforms. Some of the examples are
browser readers while others use software to read their
feeds. Other than that, people can view feeds on different
operating systems like Microsoft Windows or Mac.
8. Free traffic and promotion.
RSS
is one of the greatest ways to get free traffic to your
website without needing to spend a single penny on
advertising. This alone can save you hundreds of thousands
of dollars in advertising a year to advertise your online
business.
If you don’t have time to set-up your own webpage with
RSS feeds it is recommended that you set-up an account
with Blogger.com and head over to FeedBurner.com to set-up
an account. FeedBurner.com will generate you a RSS
subscription page automatically with any RSS feed URL you
favor and inserted.
As your knowledge about using RSS continues to grow, you
will begin to see how RSS fits into your overall marketing
efforts.
