I’m sure you’ve heard all the hype about adding RSS feeds to your site, or subscribing to someone’s RSS feed, but do you know what RSS means? In a word, it means ease. Ease in reading, ease in writing, and ease in getting noticed. RSS feeds can be done through an RSS reader, or can even be emailed right to your subscribers inbox, without any extra hassles.
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. Basically, when you place one of the little orange icons on your website or blog, you’re making it easy for your readers to keep up with you when you post new articles. Do you like running back to a site every time you turn around to see if they’ve updated? Probably not, and neither do your readers.
RSS can also help you make a few extra bucks here and there, if you’re an affiliate writer or if you run a business online. You could build a newsletter for your clients, but that can take a lot of time and resources. When you let your customers subscribe to an RSS feed, you allow them to stay connected, while freeing up your time to do what it is that you do best, running your business.
