Why Should I Use Blogs And RSS Feeds?
Copyright © 2005 Craig Desorcy Effective-Info
Blogs and RSS feeds are great marketing tools!
Now, if you're like me, you're probably scratching your head and
saying, "Wonderful, but what in the world is a blog, and
what the heck does an RSS feed?" Let's make it quick and
simple.
A blog is basically a journal or diary that is
kept online. It changes every day as you add new content. An RSS
feed is a little more involved.
RSS (usually referred to as Really Simple Syndication)
is a means to publish regular updates to web content. The content
itself is known as the feed.
In other words, RSS feeds are a great way to get
information that changes often (for example blogs or even news
headlines) out on the web to an amazingly large audience.
Now to answer the question, why should you use
blogs and RSS feeds? Numbers, numbers, numbers! Let's think about
it. When more people view your site, you will make more sales
- obviously. Of course, the trick is to get them to your site.
While you sit there reading this article, there
are search engines silently exploring cyberspace for new or updated
web content. Aha!
When you update your blog and use RSS feeds, your
new information will be noticed by these tireless search engines
and published across the World Wide Web. Hey, it's free advertising,
right?
Anita was excited! She finally had her own website
and an ebook on the market. Her enthusiasm was a source of amusement
to her friends and family. Every lull in a conversation was an
opening for Anita to discuss her new enterprise. Though Anita
netted a lot of good natured eye-rolling and teasing, she knew
they were all proud of her.
It wasn't long before Anita's enthusiasm began
to wane. After all, what good was an ebook if nobody bought it?
She'd tried buying email lists and sending advertisements out,
but it didn't seem to earn any profit. Why? Spam filters, like
virtual pac-men, were gobbling up the emails that Anita sent.
In reality very few were ever even opened.
Have you, like Anita, been frustrated at the lack
of web traffic your site receives? Follow the example of hugely
successful sites like Yahoo!, CNET, ABC News, and Amazon.
Get on the RSS feed band wagon and share in the
success. Join the masses of bloggers who are posting personal
and professional blogs. Write your way to success. Don't be left
behind with an empty bank account, when you could be enjoying
huge profits!
If this sounds too easy for such an intricately
technological subject, that's because there are people who have
done the hard work for you. In fact, blogging and RSS feeds have
been made simple for even the most technologically challenged.
