An RSS feed will be a truly great resource not only to your website but to your target market as well. This is because you can feed them with new contents every day, something that they're looking forward to.
Here are 6 steps to get started with RSS:
1. Don't feel too obsessed. Technology such as RSS can compel you to get "addicted." Information overload, however, is not good to your readers. Leave them with something enough room to arouse curiosity and enrich their minds.
2. Set a good time to do an RSS feed. An RSS feed requires time from you too. As much as possible, you should allocate a definite period when you can write articles or look for excellent feeds to share to your readers.
3. Archive your RSS feeds. Older articles in archives can be left in oblivion as newer ones take over the feeds. However, there will always be a number of your customers who may be interested with these historical articles. You can then set up an RSS archives and deliver these archived articles right to their inbox.
4. Include feeds from other websites. You can generally improve your contents by adding at least 3 feeds from other niche-related websites into yours. This way, you can provide more information to your target customers or to your blog readers.
5. Use great descriptions for your RSS feeds. Your RSS should capture the attention of your readers.
