Increase RSS Subscribers
Although getting large amounts of visitors to your blog is desirable, many will come along, read one post, leave and never return. Have you ever heard the saying ‘the money is in the list?’. Getting visitors of your blog to sign up to your newsletter/feed must be THE most important factor if you want to increase your audience.
The people who sign up to your feed or newsletter will do so because they are interested in what you have to say. Take a look at your web browser bookmarks, I bet it is full of websites and blogs that you once thought were really informative and useful, but now you have no idea what they really are. Now take a look at your feed reader, I bet you are much more familiar with the bloggers and their websites.
Once people are subscribed, you have taken a step and have (for the moment) secured their interest. This will keep them updated on what you have to say. From this point, if you promote a new product or service for which you gain commission, the people who have subscribed to your blog are much more likely to buy through your recommendation than somebody who stumbled upon your blog, read a single post and then left straight away.
My goal leading up to Christmas is to increase my RSS readership. Following a variety of tips from Darren Rowse and Copy Blogger I wish to increase my count to over 40 by the end of the year. I know 40 readers is not a huge amount and the number of subscribers can fluctuate, but I will be happy with that amount.
As I work on increasing the number, I will document what techniques seem to be working. If you have any tips yourself, let me know and I will give them a try on here. On that note, why not sign up to my feed in order to keep updated with the latest news and help me with my goal of 40 subscribers by the end of the year?
Welcome
Following the not-so-recent downfall of my previous blog ‘1 Man & His Blog‘, I have decided to rejuvenate my personal blog, which is surprisingly named after me, and begin to transfer traffic from ‘1 Man’ to here.
The posts are going to be extremely varied in nature and include a much wider range of topics than making money online. My initial aim is to begin posting from my return from holiday (12th - 26th July) where I am visiting Fuerteventura with my girlfriend, Emma.
As well as talking about making money online, I will be discussing my other websites and the sites I visit most often along with reviews of movies I watch, music I listen to and anything else that springs to mind.
If you wish to keep up to date with what I am doing, feel free to follow me via my RSS feed.
That’s it for now, take care.
