Earning Money

I wanted to mention something about blogging that not everyone knows about. I remember when I first started blogging professionally, I hadn’t the faintest idea what a RSS Feed was. Whenever someone would talk about trying to increase their number of RSS subscribers, I’d drool and have no idea what they were saying. Alright, maybe I wouldn’t drool, but you get the picture. I was completely ignorant to what it meant. Because of this, I decided that it would be important for me to pass the information on to you. While it is relatively basic, I’ve learned that it is sometimes the most basic of things that makes the most difficult of things to understand.

RSS feed is a certain way of viewing a blog. It’s different than just typing the URL of the site in. What it does is basically shows you how many people are ‘guaranteed’ to read your blog everyday. Basically, if you were to sign up for a RSS feed, you are signing up because you are very interested in what they write and want to get updates on what they are saying. Is it a good method? Sure. It really can benefit people, both the reader and the author. The good thing about a RSS feed for some people, especially the author, is when you want to start doing reviews for ReviewMe, if they see that you have a high RSS feed, they’re more like to buy a review. It just works out that way.

Now…You may be wondering how you could even get people to sign up for your RSS feed. The simplest way is to just ask them. Just add in your text: If you liked this blog post, please consider signing up for my RSS feed by clicking here. Please click there and sign up for my RSS feed. I’d greatly appreciate it. Another way is to put the RSS button at the top of your site so that they can see it. It’s recommended that you only put it up once you have fifty people in your feed, but I am against that. I put it up and figure people will come in sooner or later. But really think about signing up for my feed. I appreciate it.

RSS feeds are very important. With Google’s recent acquisition of Feedburner (see here), there is more and more money to be made from having a higher and bigger RSS feed. Consider signing up for it as soon as possible and add it to your blog. You’ll be surprised in the amount of people you can get to sign up if you offer them content that they love. If you love my content, which I hope you do, consider signing up for my RSS feed. I guarantee that I’ll continue offering whatever information I can find for you that I learn. This is a learning process for us both. We can only hope that there is success for us all, you know?
