RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and is a quick and easy way to keep track of the latest content from your favorite sites without actually taking the time to surf over and pick up content.
Mandy, over at Build A Blog has done a GREAT job of outlining the step by step method of blog subscription in her post, What Is RSS And How Does It Work?
Money Making Scoop shows How To Increase Your RSS Subscribers. Keep in mind, it’s important to sign up for feeds correctly, as pointed out by BONTB.
Remember, when it comes to RSS feeds, the headline is EVERYTHING.
Keep in mind that the readers you get via RSS are usually technically savvy readers. These will usually be other bloggers or other technically savvy internet users, so if that’s your target audience, then be SURE your site is included the 55 Active RSS Directories
If you are creating a blog as an easy way to communicate with less tech savvy readers who may not understand RSS, then be sure to offer a regular email newsletter to your subscribers. After all, Chris G said it best: "Get the people side right and you have won over half the battle."
