Most people don't bother with their RSS feeds, and that's a mistake because in the long run RSS subscribers can help you build your business.
Online visitors are notorious for scanning, and that's why it's so important that your web content facilitates scanning and skimming. There are many reasons for the scanning, but perhaps the greatest is we're all so pressed for time. People just always are in a hurry and a rush, we've all been that way at times, and so we all have our own reasons for rushing and scanning sites. If you write your content so it's scannable and clear, then you know people will have a much easier time reading it. It's probably a good idea to think ahead and imagine what your page content will be like in an RSS feed reader. Many people subscribe to multiple feeds, and that means they'll once again be pressed for time to even read those. That is why it still can make a big difference to have your content easy to read/scan and easy to be understood. When you format your content so it's easy to scan, then that reduces eye strain which is important. If you're comfortable with your writing, then there is yet another avenue to get the word out about your site, and that is to do guest blog writing. You can get tremendous exposure following this time-tested method, and there are probably a million business owners who do it. All you need to do is contact the appropriate site and negotiate a deal whereby you benefit from new traffic plus a backlink, and the blog owner receive really good content that is appropriate to the market. Naturally you're goal is convert the new traffic you receive into RSS subscribers or even email subscribers. Of course it's always smart to work on your optins, so you can have people land on a page in which your RSS and email subscriptions options are both available. These visitors will already by impressed with the content they've just read, so that will be in your favor. You should also consider the possibility of asking other blog owners to do a guest blog gig on your blog, too. You'll be able to generate more traffic from the new content, and you'll also have more content on your site that you can market. In case you're wondering where the new traffic comes from - the person doing the guest writing will of course post a snippet of content on his/her site including a link to the content on your site.
You'll have the best results with your site and marketing if you ensure quality and unique content goes on your site. Avoid using any "me too" content so that your subscribers get unique information delivered to them. There are many blogs that offer common content that can be found everywhere, and then wonder why they aren't getting any good subscribers. When you think about that, it only makes sense that people will likely subscribe if your content is not only good but is unique.
As we've shown, there are similarities between building an email list and your list of RSS subscribers. You can do this, and all you really have to do is employ sound business and marketing practices.
