You may already know that RSS stands for "Remote Site Syndication," but what does that mean and, more importantly, how can you use RSS to make more money?
RSS feeds are written in XML, which is a special markup language that is similar to HTML. That means they have ways to figure out what structures are in a document. The structures decide what will be in the document and how it will be displayed. RSS is what makes it possible for big news sites to work: RSS files are used to make a data feed that sends headlines, links, or almost any other kind of information to a channel viewer application, which is often called a "news reader."
Some RSS feeds are subscribed to by these readers, which keep an eye on them and let the user know when new information has been added. So, as an Internet marketer, how can you use this to your advantage? Here are some of the most common ways to use RSS feeds in your marketing: You can use RSS to replace your email marketing, drive traffic to your blog or sales site with RSS feeds, or make your own RSS feed so that your messages and information show up on thousands of websites, blogs, and desktops online.
Even though many marketing experts say email marketing isn't dead, more and more people are afraid to even open your email because of spam complaints and filters, as well as the risk of viruses coming from an email. So even if you have a big email list, it's getting less likely that your emails will be opened.
With RSS, your messages will never be blocked, and they have a much better chance of being read than a normal email. And your marketing will work better if people actually read what you have to say. You can even use autoresponders with RSS.
By adding RSS feeds to your content site or blog, you can add fully dynamic, theme-related content that will make your site or blog very popular with search engines. The constantly updated content is exactly what search engines want, and it helps your page rank higher in search results, which brings more people to your page.
Making your own RSS feed is probably the best way to use RSS to help with your online marketing. This way, your information will show up on any website that uses the RSS feed you are sending it to. There is even software that will automatically send your RSS feeds to the directories that marketers use to get RSS feeds, as described above.
RSS is still not very well known as a way to get people to visit websites, but it is becoming more and more popular every day. As an internet marketer, this is a great chance to take advantage of this new technology before all the other online experts jump on the bandwagon.
