Start An Empire

By Tony Dean

With RSS feeds you can start a publishing empire - just look at the feeds coming from the big media companies like the New York Times and others. Every hour they have people in-putting more news items - feature articles, gossip and entertainment news - what can you put in your feed?

You can have many feeds for all sorts of genre's, just think of the possibilities for driving traffic to various pages of your web site where readers can access more information and maybe, click on an advert like Adsense or some other product to buy - or to give their email address to sign-up for an ecourse or email newsletter.

The possibilities for instant publishing via RSS feeds is endless, never before has it been so easy to publish anything, it has always been in the hands of the media giants - but no more - they don't have a monopoly on the internet. The media giants are now down to your level - you are equal to them on the internet - they may well have a large following but, you can also have a large enough following for the information you put out in your RSS feed given time.

Your RSS feeds do not have to be international in nature looking for a worldwide audience - they can be localized for your town or city with local news, entertainment, sport, political news, local gossip, travel - monetizing your feed by writing an article for a local business, and driving traffic to that page, you can charge good advertising dollars, with local businesses lining up for an 'item' spot in your feed. How many businesses could you take advertising dollars off in a week? How many feeds can you put out in a week? The possibilities are explosive in nature - yet so many web site owners struggle to gain any money at all from their offerings online - it's a hard slog!

Web 2.0 technology is here - yet I hear "What's that anyway?" from all over the forums and blogs from people who have not caught up with it to realize the possibilities - like putting images, photo's and even slideshows and video in RSS feeds, together with different fonts - instead of plain boring 'courier' - together with colored text and colored backgrounds, making the feeds more attractive to the readers - after all, a picture paints a thousand words - and certainly helps to get readers interested in your offer. See my website for RSS Traffic Attack my ebook explaining it all in great detail.

Web site owners can be too bogged down in routine by rote - doing the same things day-in and day out, they need to step back and look around them at other possible ways of promotion - RSS feeds are free promotion and do drive traffic.

The technology is here - just use it.

ICT Solutions - Really Simple Syndication

By Himanshu Sharma

Really Simple Syndication or RSS is an XML based data format which is used to syndicate (distribute) the contents of a website. This data format is generally used for those websites which are daily or hourly updated like blogs, forums, newsgroups or sites which provide news services. A RSS feed is an XML file (.xml) which contains XML code. Each file contains one or more items. Each item contains its title, description and link back to the full contents of the article. The distributed contents of a website are also known as the feeds.

Now the question is what the use of such type of syndication. When you update your website and want to tell your visitors about it, then you use this technology. Otherwise a visitor will have to manually check each webpage of a website for an update. There are special programs known as 'RSS Readers' through which you can upload and publish your feeds on the net and inform your visitors about the latest updates on your website. One such program is newsgator.com. Generally these readers (also known as aggregators) are free to use and can also be used to develop syndicated contents. Majority of people subscribe to feeds via 'subscribe button' or 'subscribe' link available on the websites and only those who are familiar with 'XML' develop them. There are some new programs available on the net to develop syndicated contents like the 'List Garden' Program. These programs don't require a user to have the knowledge of XML. This means, now anybody who is familiar with windows or a standard PC can now develop RSS feeds.
