RSS is quickly becoming one of the best ways to market on the Internet. It is used every day by Internet marketers all over the world who know how useful it is. Still, most people on the Internet haven't used RSS to share their content.
This new technology can permanently change a lot about how you stay in touch with your subscribers or readers. If you still don't know what RSS is, here's a brief explanation: RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication" or "Rich Site Summary." The XML extension is the format used to share your NEWS Headlines on the Web, which is called "syndication."
RSS is so powerful because it lets you send your message instantly to all of your subscribers and readers across the web. This is called "syndication." So, what are the top 8 reasons why you should use RSS? What follows:
- Feeds can be chosen by the reader.
Like autoresponders, RSS lets your prospects opt-in to the feeds they want and opt-out when they want to. They can do this through their RSS feeds reader. It's almost like building a list of people who want to sign up!
You don't have to keep an RSS feed updated.
This is a "burden-take-off" for smart and busy Internet marketers, since RSS is free to use and doesn't require as much work as building a list. Of course, there are pros and cons to everything. When you don't have to spend time on your opt-ins, you won't get to know them as well, which makes it harder to sell your product.
- You can share your content with other people.
This is where RSS really shines. It lets you syndicate your content and send an email to your subscribers right away to let them know about your content.
- Sales and advertising.
Again, RSS is like an autoresponder in that it lets you send your promotions to people who have signed up for it. In this way, you can also make money with your RSS feeds.
- No filter problems.
Email filters are used on every RSS feed. When you syndicate an article, you won't have to worry about your message being changed. All of your messages get sent to all of your subscribers.
- No complaints about spam.
People who want to get your RSS feeds will have to use an RSS reader to do so. They will have to follow the Privacy Policy, which says that you can send them syndication at any time without being called a spammer. Another cool thing!
- You can read feeds in many ways.
RSS is very flexible because you can read feeds in a lot of different ways. Some of these examples use a browser to read their feeds, while others use software. People can also look at feeds on different operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows or Mac.
- You get free traffic and advertising.
RSS is one of the best ways to get people to visit your website for free and without spending a dime on advertising. Just doing this can save you tens of thousands of dollars a year in advertising costs for your online business.
If you don't have time to set up RSS feeds on your own website, you should set up an account with Blogger.com and then go to FeedBurner.com to set up an account. FeedBurner.com will automatically make an RSS subscription page for you and add any RSS feed URL you like.
As you learn more about RSS, you will start to see how it fits into your overall marketing strategy.
