RSS subscribers is really importent these days. There are many ways we can increase our sbscriber numbers and one of the ways is to place it above the fold and put a big momma icon that people wont be able to ignore. I’m not too focused about rss yet, but will try methods out very soon. Great tips. RSS subscribers is really importent these days.

I like what you have here. I have a lot to learn! Question: Can you tell me the relative benefits of simply having a feedburner or feedblitz RSS or email vs aweber/mailchimp/vertical response email vendors? What I surmise is that the email vendors enable stronger opt-in persuasions within the opt-in form, and then let you build campaigns around offers to your list. Then there's cost, with the vendors charging, although feedblitz does too. I gather than feedburner doesn't? Anyway, any guidance would be appreciated! Thanks. Joe Hi Neil.

In my opinion it is almost impossible without proper reward for that. Sometimes it can be something very small, sometimes we need to think something bigger or more important. But for beginners I must say that none of them will get subscribers for a long time. It is not easy to get people to subscribe your blog.

After that, I moved up my RSS button, taught myself a little widget coding to get a nice looking RSS picture, then at the bottom of the post I asked readers to subscribe. The first day I had 20 new subscribers. I don't think I had any before that, but I wasn't tracking it until I installed feedburner. Of course I am sure that it helped that I am in the middle of a pretty good series of 5 posts. Speaking of writing in series. I think I also got that tip from one of your posts a few months ago. It really does help, not only for repeat traffic, but it lets me really get into my content without overloading one post. So I am able to provide extra value.

I have been looking for a plugin to do that for about 2 weeks. The reason is because I use analytics to track the keywords that people use to find my site. At least 5 times a day, I will look at the keyword phrase and know the specific answer to the exact question they are searching for. However, they may not find it on my blog, or I haven't written about it yet.
