RSS(Real Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary) is widely becoming a VERY powerful marketing tool on the NET and for Internet marketers around the world, the question is…
… “Are you using RSS to syndicate your content?”
When I first stumbled across RSS syndication while surfing the net, it piqued my curiosity to the point where I couldn’t help myself, but, to look into this new form of site promotion further.
What I found out about this new technology will absolutely change the way you keep in touch with your subscribers and/or readers, in many ways, for years to come.
Just to keep up with the times I recently built a webpage for my website specifically to promote my RSS feed in order to take on new subscribers, and… most important of all, to put this new technology to the test.
Here’s what my webpage looks like if you decide to build your own dedicated webpage for your RSS feed. I highly recommend you do, but, that’s just me.
If you do decide to build one, make sure you give your subscribers and/or readers options.

Now, for those of you who aren’t quite up to speed on what RSS is, here’s a quick definition for you:

Syndication is where the TRUE power of RSS is unleashed, getting your message across the web in an Instant to your subscribers and/or readers.
That’s the basics of RSS(Real Simple Syndication).

RSS gives the subscriber the ability to Opt-In to the feeds they are interested in and the ability to Opt-Out if they wish through there RSS reader just like an auto-responder.
Reason #3. You don’t have to maintain an RSS feed.
This is a great time saver for the busy marketer because RSS is a great communication supplement that doesn’t burden the publisher with having to maintain a “List” or having to follow strict privacy rules.

I like to save the best for last because RSS is a great way to get free traffic to your website without the need of spending money on advertising.
This benefit alone will save you hundreds, if not, thousands in advertising expenses a year in costs to advertise your online business.
Well… are those enough reasons for you to get started with RSS?
