Using
RSS Fields in Communication
|
RSS
is fast replacing email marketing and newsletters. You would not want
to be left behind would you? Your competitor will surely overtake you
and speed right up. RSS is mostly called Really Simple Syndication,
although some give other meaning to the acronym. It is a process by
which you could place a feed on websites that can read RSS from your
directory.
Information distribution has been made
simply by
RSS. Simply put, with RSS, you can place your headline to other website
for more people to see it. In marketing, it is a known concept that the
more people you reaches to, the more likely that your product will
sell.
RSS is an XML-based application. XML is
similar in a way
to HTML, which we all know is the most common website creator
application. From a directory, it would feed the headlines into website
that has an RSS reader. Creating an RSS feed would definitely boost up
your sales. How can you make an RSS feed? Just follow these simple
steps:
Create
a file for your feed.
Using
a certain format, you?d have to create the XML version of your feed. It
should include the title or the headline, the body?s short description,
and the link where it can be read. There are a lot of different RSS web
channel editor you can use for this. Some programs just require you to
write news and articles down on a notepad and when placed on the
editor, it will show up with the necessary formatting ready for upload.
It would be advisable to make at least ten articles for your feed.
Save and Upload the file.
After
creating your file, save your work as an XML, RSS, or an RDF file. Then
you are now ready to upload it. Upload the file using your FTP program
and place it on your web server. This process now makes the file
readable by RSS news aggregators.
Validate the file.
Make
your RSS program error-free. RSS is programming, so errors could lie
unseen. Again, there are different programs that can assist you for
this process. You would just need to place the saved and uploaded RSS
file for the program to test it against wrong and missed code and tags.
It is essential for you to check your work of course. This way, you?re
sure that what you have is readable and usable.
Create a directory.
Now
that you have created the file, saved it, and made sure it works, you
are ready to let other see it. The main purpose of an RSS feed is to
broadcast it to all RSS enabled sites. So go ahead and look for a
directory where you can place your feed. Some may require fees for
uploading a directory. Some offer it for free. Scout around and round
up all the free sites you can have and place it there. If you have some
marketing budget, you might want to subscribe to sites that charge a
minimal amount. Don?t forget to place an icon of your RSS feed on your
website, too for those people who visits you directly.
Update regularly.
With
RSS, you know that the feed changes automatically every time you change
the main file. Don?t let your RSS feed sit there for a month without
modifying it. Maintain it. Add new articles. The more exciting your
topic is, the more people will check your feeds and visit your website.
Creating an RSS feed for Internet marketing is made
very simple
now a days. Even people who are not computer savvy can create RSS
feeds, based on the steps provided above. The applications that were
created for RSS creation are the ones that make it easy for everyday
computer users to make an RSS feed. All you need is familiarization
with the process.
Start now creating RSS feeds.
Give your
competitor something fierce to duel with. Needless to say, RSS feeds
give your website more traffic than usual web hosting. And web traffic
means more people seeing your products that could be interested in
buying them. Add strength to your marketing strategy. Make RSS feeds
and be ready to sell. Copyright
