Most of you have seen those little buttons on websites
labeled RSS or XML. If you are wondering what they are, RSS means
Really Simple Syndication. Really simple because when you subscribe
to a site that has this feature, you keep up-to-date with new
information without having to check the site every day. This is
really good news because you can use it to get newsfeeds from
major news networks, news on new movies, even your favorite musician's
tour dates or CD releases.
This new twist to the Internet is very valuable to you as a Internet
marketer too. Imagine replacing email marketing with RSS marketing.
People actually subscribe meaning they want your information updates,
similar to opt-in newsletters. With newsletters you have to write
them and your site content. With RSS, when you update your content,
all subscribers are notified by their newsreaders.
Newsreaders are special software that read RSS feeds. To get
started, download a free RSS reader.
If you use a Windows PC, go to http://www.rssreader.com
For Mac users, see http://ranchero.com/netnewswire
Once you are set up, here's all you or your customers have to
do...
Right-click (control-click for Mac users) on any RSS button on
a site, blog or news source that interests you. Select Copy Shortcut
("Copy Link to Clipboard" for Mac, "Copy Link Location"
for Firefox browsers), and paste that URL into your RSS Reader.
And that is it, you are subscribed. Once you get started, your
favorite parts of the Web come to you. No need to go out and check
for updates all the time. If you do not want to download software,
subscribe to your favorite feeds through My Yahoo or My MSN.
So how does any of this make you money?
More traffic means more money. By placing RSS on your website
or your blog, anyone can subscribe automatically and know when
a new product or service is available. This new breed of Internet
shopper is not to be ignored. To take advantage of the traffic
you have to make your RSS feed available to website visitors and
submit your feed information to RSS, blog and XML type directories.
Here's how you get RSS for your site!
Go to http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss

file types for RSS and here you learn which is best and why. The
easiest and fastest way to learn more about this technology and

There is no need to become a techie, no need to know all the
ins and outs of RSS and XML. There is a huge need for you to know
enough about this newest technology to use it. Once you do, it
becomes easy to see how you make money online with RSS. In the
same way newsletters and opt-in email are used for successful
marketing, RSS is much easier, faster, and a much less intrusive
way to communicate with potential or existing clients and customers.
It's very critical to provide exactly what people want to make
money online. How can there be a better way to do that than to
allow people to subscribe to their wants and wishes? Start using
RSS and XML technologies to make money online now before it too
becomes the jungle email marketing is. To add fuel to your marketing
fire, use optimized content for frequent updates to your blogs
and web pages and deliver it with RSS.
The Internet changes quite quickly. RSS seems to be made to stick
around, at least until something bigger and better comes along.
It is easy to setup and monetize. Online entrepreneurs should
take advantage of this new technology as soon as possible. The
advantages far outweigh the disadvantages, so start now to reach
a very targeted, eager audience for your opportunities.
