Reason #10. Free and Easy site promotion.

As I mentioned early in my article, the best way to take advantage of RSS... Starting TODAY! ... is to set-up your own dedicated RSS webpage on your website.

This is the next best feature to RSS feeds because you don't have to worry about your message being passed through some email filter.

If you don't have time to set-up your own webpage I recommend you set-up an account with Blogger.com -- http://www.blogger.com -- and then head over to FeedBurner.com -- http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/home -- and set-up an account there.

That's the basics of RSS(Real Simple Syndication).

Your response rates would Double, if not, Triple, meaning MORE $$Profits$$ in your pocket with less work.

Just to keep up with the times I recently built a webpage for my website specifically to promote my RSS feed in order to take on new subscribers, and... most important of all, to put this new technology to the test.

This is yet another great benefit to RSS because you never have to worry about "Spam" complaints or "Privacy Policies" again because they have to add your feed to there reader, not the other way around with email.

Reason #3. You don't have to maintain an RSS feed.

... "Are you using RSS to syndicate your content?"

Reason #8. You get INSTANT credibility.

RSS is very versatile because it allows you to view the feed in many different media platforms.

Well... are those enough reasons for you to get started with RSS?
