Using
RSS to make money on-line
|
|
|
Most of you have seen those little buttons on websites labeled RSS or
XML. If you are wondering what they are, RSS means Really Simple
Syndication. Really simple because when you subscribe to a site that
has this feature, you keep up-to-date with new information without
having to check the site every day. This is really good news because
you can use it to get newsfeeds from major news networks, news on new
movies, even your favorite musician's tour dates or CD releases.
This new twist to the Internet is very valuable to you as a Internet
marketer too. Imagine replacing email marketing with RSS marketing.
People actually subscribe meaning they want your information updates,
similar to opt-in newsletters. With newsletters you have to write them
and your site content. With RSS, when you update your content, all
subscribers are notified by their newsreaders.
Newsreaders are special software that read RSS feeds. To get started,
download a free RSS reader.
If you use a Windows PC, go to http://www.rssreader.com
For Mac users, see http://ranchero.com/netnewswire
Once you are set up, here's all you or your customers have to do...
Right-click (control-click for Mac users) on any RSS button on a site,
blog or news source that interests you. Select Copy Shortcut ("Copy
Link to Clipboard" for Mac, "Copy Link Location" for Firefox browsers),
and paste that URL into your RSS Reader. And that is it, you are
subscribed. Once you get started, your favorite parts of the Web come
to you. No need to go out and check for updates all the time. If you do
not want to download software, subscribe to your favorite feeds through
My Yahoo or My MSN.
So how does any of this make you money?
More traffic means more money. By placing RSS on your website or your
blog, anyone can subscribe automatically and know when a new product or
service is available. This new breed of Internet shopper is not to be
ignored. To take advantage of the traffic you have to make your RSS
feed available to website visitors and submit your feed information to
RSS, blog and XML type directories.
Here's how you get RSS for your site!
Go to http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss for the best source of RSS

learn which is best and why. The easiest and fastest way to learn more
about this technology and see it in use is to go to

There is no need to become a techie, no need to know all the ins and
outs of RSS and XML. There is a huge need for you to know enough about
this newest technology to use it. Once you do, it becomes easy to see
how you make money online with RSS. In the same way newsletters and
opt-in email are used for successful marketing, RSS is much easier,
faster, and a much less intrusive way to communicate with potential or
existing clients and customers.
It's very critical to provide exactly what people want to make money
online. How can there be a better way to do that than to allow people
to subscribe to their wants and wishes? Start using RSS and XML
technologies to make money online now before it too becomes the jungle
email marketing is. To add fuel to your marketing fire, use optimized
content for frequent updates to your blogs and web pages and deliver it

around, at least until something bigger and better comes along. It is
easy to setup and monetize. Online entrepreneurs should take advantage

the disadvantages, so start now to reach a very targeted, eager
