I have a quick question to ask you... "Are you sick and tired of hearing about RSS (Real Simple Syndication) and how it can take your online business to new heights with VERY little work on your part?
If you said "YES" to the question above, stop reading this article right now!
If you said "no," you'll love what I'm about to tell you about RSS and WHY it's being called the newest player in the game of viral marketing.
But before I do, I think it's important that you know how RSS and VIRAL marketing work and what their purpose is, so that you don't get confused.
What RSS means — RSS stands for "Real Simple Syndication" or "Rich Site Summary." It is used to share news or information and is usually linked to blogs because blogs use RSS feeds to share their content.
By definition, "viral marketing" is any form of advertising or marketing that "spreads" like a virus without you doing anything.
Now that you know what each one means and what role it plays, you can put it all together.
I have another quick question...
(As you can see, I like to ask questions.) "What do all website owners and portal sites need 24/7 to keep their visitors/readers coming back day after day?
If you said "content," give yourself a pat on the back because you're right!
And what can you find in RSS feeds that are updated all the time?
CONTENT! Whether it's about the news or an article.
And where do website owners and webmasters of portal sites go to get these important RSS feeds?
You guessed it: "RSS Directories," which is where you should have sent your RSS feed(s).
RSS directories are great because they all have categories that make it easy for anyone to find what they are looking for.
And if they notice your RSS feed, guess what? They'll add your feed to their website, giving you all that FREE exposure at their expense.
Now, think about what would happen if 100 or 1000 website owners subscribed to your RSS feed.
The number of people visiting your website would start to explode without you having to do anything.
The cool part is that you only had to set it up once.
The more "Quality" RSS feeds you have out there, the more likely it is that webmasters will pick them up.
Do you now understand why RSS is being called "viral"? And all of this happens while you are asleep.
It gets better So hold on.
Do you put out your own articles or content?
If you do, you're in for a real treat because guess what other directories are starting to add RSS?
Yes, the answer is "Article Directories."
By sending your articles to the TOP "Article Directories," you'll get the same result as I described for "RSS Directories."
Keep in mind that most people go online to find information that will help them solve a problem they are having.
Websites have "information" on them.
Website owners need "New Information" 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to meet the needs of their readers.
RSS feeds send out content, like News or Articles, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, or whenever the website owner wants.
How can you use this right now if you haven't done so already?
Set up a blog and start posting to it every day with articles, product reviews, or news that your target audience would be interested in.
Then go send your Blog's RSS feed to all the top "RSS Directories."
Once you've done that, you'll need to Ping your Blog to get the Search Engines to come and start indexing your Blog's pages.
