Good to see you again! Don't forget to subscribe to my RSS feed. You don't want to miss out on upcoming valuable posts and opportunities!

Many people still don’t know about RSS –

what it is, how it is useful, and how to utilize it in their online marketing

No worries – Here is the breakdown

What is RSS?

This three-letter acronym stands for Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary and syndicating means republishing an article that comes from another source such as a website. It may or may not include a summary and photos of the latest posting, but those that provide summaries (Rich Site Summary) allow users to skim through the article so that they can decide if they want to access the website later. The RSS feed usually contains the title of the update originating from the website and a source link.

What are the benefits of RSS for readers and website publishers”

• RSS provides readers with the latest updates on their favorite websites
• It’s a time saver because readers do not need to visit every site of interest individually to remain informed.
• The reader has power of subscription & decides which websites to include in their RSS feeds & it can all be changed easily at any time without any hassle
• RSS minimizes inbox clutter & spam because the feeds do not use your email address to send updates
• It’s a great marketing and advertising tool because readers who subscribe to an RSS feed always receive the latest news on products and services without sending an email and the advertising is very targeted to those who are interested in what the site has to offer

Possible drawbacks of RSS:

• Some readers prefer receiving email updates vs. an RSS feed
• RSS feeds do not show graphics or photos
• Because RSS feeds do not show the URL or website name, sometimes a reader can get confused on which feed they are actually reading
• Web publishers can’t determine how many users are subscribing to their RSS feed and they rarely learn the reason why a reader unsubscribes to their feed.  These are good points of feedback that would help you improve your advertising to better suit the reader.
• Some websites still do not support RSS

So… How do you start using RSS?

• You need an RSS reader, also called an aggregator, and an RSS feed.
• The RSS feed comes from a website supporting RSS
• The RSS reader can be web-based or in a downloadable form. Web-based readers are usually very user friendly and might be a good choice for a newbie. Also, web-based readers are usually free, while downloadable readers sometimes require payment before downloading. Both versions allow you to customize and choose which RSS feeds to enter
  
• Look on your websites of interest for an RSS icon. usually clicking this icon will walk you through steps to subscribe to the RSS feed. You can also copy/paste the code provided with the RSS button into your reader. Once you have subscribed to the RSS feed, new postings appear in real time as they are published.

RSS in Internet Marketing

• The idea of RSS originated from Netscape with the intention to provide a way for users to customize their homepages to contain links to their own websites of interest, like bookmarking.
• Because readers have the freedom to add RSS feeds of sites they are interested in, marketing becomes more specific to interested readers rather than hit-and-miss spamming strategies.
• If you intend to use RSS for marketing products and services, consider linking with email account providers [Yahoo, Google, MSN,etc], social networking sites, newspaper sites, television sites, personal blog sits, sites of clubs or social organizations, and any other sites where your products or services might be of interest.

The innovation of RSS is all about information management and the technology will certainly keep expanding and improving as time goes on.

Start taking advantage of RSS feeds for personal use and integrate them into your marketing strategy

SOFTWARE REVIEW: Start an eBook publishing business worth $250,000… $750,000…
$1 Million or more per year!

A dear friend of mine just finished creating her first eBook with the new eBook Pro 6.0 secure publishing system, and I wanted to share her experience with you. You decide if this system is right for YOUR business!

I know she was nervous when she got started. She is not a very “tech savvy” person and has no troubleshooting abilities whatsoever.

Her writing skills are awesome, but as for her  graphic design skills? Forget about it! They don’t exist. She can barely draw a stick man, but said once she got started with eBook Pro, all those fears were laid to rest.

eBook Pro 6.0

eBook Pro 6.0 is SO easy to use with the “point-and-click wizards” that it literally make building and customizing an eBook from scratch as simple a click of your mouse!

One click to choose a professional design from the many templates that are included… a couple of clicks to customize it with your own logo, icons and other features… then a couple more clicks to add your eBook’s security features…

…and presto! You have a theft proof, professionally designed and produced eBook that will Sell like Hotcakes!

eBook Pro 6.0 also has some really cool features that make it indispensable in ANY marketing strategy!

For example, did you know you can use eBook Pro 6.0 to make “viral” eBooks that can drive 1,000s of qualified buyers to your web site?

Don’t let the name put you off! Viral marketing just means ‘word of mouth,’ and here’s how it works…

You can add an “e-mail to a friend” button to your eBook. So, when someone reads it and sees that it’s FULL of VALUABLE INFORMATION, they’ll happily pass it along to all of their family, friends, and associates… who in turn pass it along to their contacts…and so on…

Your market strategy gathers momentum…like a snowball rolling down a mountain! Your single eBook ends up in the hands of hundreds — even thousands – of people.

eBook Pro collects their contact information, so you can add new leads to your lists for future follow up and email marketing.

And if you already have a web site that sells eBooks, there are plenty of features you’ll want to know about,  — like the ability to make Free Trial copies of your eBook available, but you can “turn off” that free trial if your customer decides not to purchase at the end of the trial period.

This strategy alone can increase your sales by 200%!

Derek Gehl and his team have hit a home run with their neweBook Pro 6.0 secure publishing system!

It’s exactly what you need to make secure, professional looking eBooks that can potentially send 1,000s of qualified buyers to your web site! This product gets two thumbs up.
