Why Use RSS?

So why use RSS? Well, I can find a whole lot reasons why. Although I'm not technically inclined I do understand power behind syndication. Anyone who watches television can get that idea. Still why would I want use RSS my viral marketing campaign? Well, let's look at what some "experts" are saying.

Robin Good well-known blog RSS forums venues. He also known being a successful online marketer selling viral marketing tools. I've read lots his articles interviews, not mention buying his Top 55 RSS sites tool submitting blogs RSS feeds. I like what he said one his posts his blog "No RSS, no party".

I just finished reading ebook "A Blogger's Edge: How To Use Weblogs As Marketing Tools" by Paul Short http://GetBlogs.com. It was written so anyone can understand implement ideas therein. He has a chapter all about RSS how can be used an alternate communication method. Yep, he said alternate. Meaning has be alternative non other than email. I'm about tell you why also why you'll want get going this soon you read this!

Here's how works. When someone subscribes any my RSS channels (I publish several channels), they can then choose one several "viewers or readers" available manage their subscription. The SUBSCRIBER manages their subscription not me! They can have many subscriptions all one "reader" where they can view them all one place rather than having their email inbox inundated with lots newsletters they probably won't read because they don't have time.

Here how break that information down into bite size assimilation: RSS puts control back "end users" hands thus eliminating problem with lists, spam, viruses, etc., because they subscribe WITHOUT email! Let me say again - without email. If your subscribers know they can take back control their subscriptions, read what they want when they want tidbits instead long email newsletters without giving you their email address, don't you think they're going be thanking you remembering you their wills? Well, maybe not their wills but they will remember that you are a great business that offers quality content when THEY want not when you deliver it. So, that's part WHY.

It only gets better. When you cruise Internet using a browser you can bookmark a site but then you have go back when you want read anything from that site again, right? Well, with an RSS feed, rather than having go back it, comes you! Once a subscriber subscribes your feed, they can read information you publish without going back your site because they'll have your "feed" already their "viewer or reader" choice! It will be updated each time you input anything into your feed - every single subscriber simultaneously!

So what does this mean publisher site owner? Well you don't have keep sending out those reminders. You can input a "tip day", an announcement, anything keep your feed updated front your subscriber base daily! Keep quality, helpful, inject your personality into you'll reap rewards allowing your ONLINE customers feel they know you person. Trust a difficult thing build online these days but using a RSS feed one great way get personal with your customers.

Here's how Paul Short says "A Blogger's Edge" "?.encourage everyone you've ever been contact with using newsletters or otherwise make transition accepting communication from you via feeds rather than email a smart marketing move indeed", Paul Short, http://GetBlogs.com So, a nutshell - you're nuts NOT use an RSS feed. The Internet changing, just like everything else. It's way world. Things change, we can either get board when things change or stay put drown. Either way it's coming RSS definitely going be a big part new change! So, you ask "Why use RSS?" I say, "why not?"
