What you can do with RSS:

RSS seems to be a bit technical, especially considering all that it offers, but it is about the easiest and and the same time most powerful Web 2.0 marketing & publishing technology around.

RSS really can be implemented for your site in a short time and the easiest way to get started with RSS marketing/publishing is getting your own RSS aggregator, subscribing to other RSS feeds and just seeing and understanding how this amazing technology works.

So simply choose an aggregator from our selection below and start subscribing to your first RSS news feeds.

Here is a selection of RSS aggregators, just choose one to start:

Tutorials & other Resources

 

a) Web-based RSS Aggregators (websites)

b) Desktop RSS Aggregators (software)

c) Integrated RSS Aggregators (integrate with IE or Microsoft Outlook)

 

RSS Feed directories

  • News Is Free, mentioned earlier as a news aggregator, is also a long-standing directory of feeds. It organizes thousands of news feeds -- what it calls "news channels" -- into categories. You can browse the categories to find feeds of interest or do a search for feeds that mention your keywords in their titles and descriptions.
  • Syndic8.com is the other major RSS directory. It lets you look through thousands of RSS feeds that users have submitted or which have been added by volunteers to its collection. In other words, it's an Open Directory for RSS feeds.
  • Feed Directory
  • Directory Of Directories
  • RSS Search Engines (These services search the content of RSS feeds, not just their names and descriptions)
  • Scrapers (If your favorite site doesn't have an RSS feed, you can get it "scraped" i.e., converted to RSS at one of these sites.

  Testimonials

... [he] was able to point out opportunities to increase my site traffic and the conversion rate from visitors to sales.
[He] suggested online marketing strategies to stay in contact with my customers more easily and he showed me ways to optimize my site including automating some of the marketing.
Automation will give me the opportunity to actually do real marketing now.
But as a busy entrepreneur I would not get round actually doing it, if none of it could be automated.
I am convinced this will bring more traffic to my site, plus with the improved conversion rate, more sales. Thanks so much! ...

Consider me a long-term client ...

  Last Day

For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself:

"If today were the last day day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?"

... all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.
