Create RSS Feeds (Create RSS)
 

Create RSS Feeds (Create RSS)

Let me clarify a few things:

(a) You can create an RSS feed from a Blog

(b) You can also create an RSS feed from your existing web site which has articles and other content on it using “MyRSSCreator”

(c) You can also create an RSS feed from scratch, also by using “MyRSSCreator”

In my videos, I show you how to create an RSS feed from a Blog, by activating the syndication function.

To turn your web site articles or content into an RSS feed, the easiest way would be to use the RSS creation service called “MyRSSCreator”.

Creating your RSS feeds using “MyRSSCreator”is a simple four step process, and steps 1 and 2 involve completion of certain fields. Let me explain in detail what each step entails.

Step 1: You create your RSS Channel (RSS Feed) by specifying the various fields.






Step 2 in Create RSS Feed: You create your post.




Step 3 in Create RSS Feed: You submit to the Search Engines.

Step 3 is where you submit your RSS feed to the top ten RSS feed directories. In most cases, all you need to do is to click the ‘submit’ button.

For certain directories like Yahoo, you will need to create an account with Yahoo first.

Your RSS feed is also automatically listed for you, so you don’t need to type anything.






Step 4 in Create RSS Feed:
You copy the “RSS button” code and paste on your Blog (or site) for people to subscribe to your RSS feeds.






My Videos E-course "Marketing Rampage with Blogs and RSS" shows you step by step in FULL Video, how to create your RSS feeds in four simple steps with MyRSSCreator.

Alternatively, you can also take MyRSSCreator for a spin run for free for the first 14 days, they do have a users manual but do be warned beforehand that it is a bit technical without watching my videos!

What is an RSS Feed

If you search for the term "What is an RSS Feed" or "What is RSS" using the local search engines, chances are you'll be come to web sites trying to explain the definition of "What is an RSS feed" in such a technical manner that you still won't have a clue what is RSS even after reading it.

I’ll explain what is an RSS feed in the simplest manner to you.

Take the example of a radio station. A radio station has many channels, such as jazz, pop, rock, classical and so on.

Once the radio station has created these channels, it merely broadcasts each channel out with the relevant musical content in them.

Anyone who wishes to listen to a particular type of music just needs to tune into that specific channel.

For example, if someone wants to listen to classical music, he or she tunes into the classical channel.

If there was no broadcast technology, the radio station would have to deliver a CD containing that day’s radio programs and send out to tens of thousands of people each day. Not very practical right?

Or perhaps the listener would have to go out and get the CD containing the radio station’s recorded programs for that day. Again, not very practical.

What is an RSS feed then, and how is it similar to radio station channels?

RSS feeds are like the channels of a radio station, with different types of subject contents, for example, some RSS feeds could contain contents on personal development, another RSS feed might containt jokes and another RSS feed might contain contents on marketing, investment tips, trading techniques, etc.

All that the online user needs to do to read an RSS feed or to obtain the information is to subscribe to the RSS feed, and this is similar to ‘tuning in’ to a radio station.

Once you understand what is an RSS feed, the next question might be "How do you read an RSS feed"?

RSS feeds are read using what is known as an RSS newsreader, which displays the contents in the RSS feeds in a manner that can be read and understood, very much like your local daily newspaper.

You can try a popular RSS newsreader, called Tristana Reader for free, for 14 days.

How to Make Money Blogging | 9 Ideas to Make Money Blogging
 

Make Money Blogging

All rights reserved. Copyright 2005 Brandon Hong

In this posting, I complete my discussion on how to make money blogging by revisiting the blog money making ideas discussed so far, plus a few new ones as well. They are by no means conclusive.

I'm sure there are more creative ways to make money blogging, the ideas below are meant as a resource pool for you to draw from, and a launchpad to kickstart the thinking process of making money from blogging....

The question "How to make money blogging" sits high on every blogger's mind.

In fact I received many questions on "How to make money blogging" when I conducted my first webcast to answer my subscribers' most pressing questions on Blogs and Rss.

You can make money Blogging in a number of ways, and in this article I share with you up to nine ways in which you can make money blogging.

1. Make Money Blogging by Selling Advertising Space

Before the advent of Blogs, we have e-zines and selling advertising space on ezines was a popular way to earn extra money. If you run your own Blog, you can let others advertise in your Blogs with banner ads, solo ads, sponsor ads, classifieds and so on.

Now that we have Blogs, you can repeat the same business model that e-zine publishers do, that of selling advertising space.

One popular advertising company that helps Bloggers look for advertisers is Blogads (www.Blogads.com).

Besides placing advertisers ads on your Blog, you can also make money Blogging by placing Google Adsense into your Blog.

In my "Marketing Rampage with Blogs and RSS" Videos, I show you how you can customize your Blog template to include the Google Adsense into your Blog template so that you can make money blogging.

2. How to Make Money Blogging by providing technical services such as Blog hosting or setting up Blog

You can also earn money blogging by providing technical services such as helping people to set up their Blogs or providing your own Blog hosting service.
One example of this is www.typepad.com . This is a Blog hosting service provider that charges a monthly fee. Typepad lets you create your Blog and they will host your Blog for you, and provide you with a number of Blog features.

3. Make Money Blogging by setttin up joint venture marketing

Joint Venture marketing is a powerful marketing strategy employed by many top online marketers.

Basically how joint venture works is this: You promote person B's products to your subscriber and customer list, and you get a cut from whatever sale that follows from this promotion.
You can apply the principle of joint venture marketing to Blogs as well. If you have a substantial readership to your Blog, you can also promote or endorse certain products to your Blog readers and this way, and split the profits from the sales generated. This is another way to make money blogging.

4. How to Make Money Blogging from using the Membership model

Over time, if your blog has lots of postings and provide good quality content, you can consider turning it into a membership site and charge access for it, again giving you another avenu

5. Make Money Blogging by turning your Blog contents into products
Another way in which you can make money blogging is to repackage your Blog contents into an e-book or an audio product and sell it. For example, if you run your own Podcasting show or an 'online radio show', you can easily compile your podcast recordings into a CD compiliation and sell it.

6. How to make money blogging by swapping blogs

You've heard of ad swapping when it comes to e-zine publishing, where publishers publish each other's ads in their own e-zines. This way, you save on adveritising costs.
You can repeat the same model to Blogs, as swap ads on Blogs as well. So instead of paying up front, you get to save, which means more money for you to spend!

7. Make money blogging by turning blog contents into RSS feeds and sell it as premium feeds

Your blog contents can be turned into an RSS feed. If the content is good, you can look for web businesses that are looking for good content for related topics and sell their feed to them.

8. How to Make Money Blogging by well, asking!

Hey, who's stopping you from putting a PayPal donation jar or button on your Blog? After all, there are lots of generous people out there you know.

9. Make Money Blogging as an Affiliate Marketer

Another way you can make money blogging is by promoting other people's products on your Blog. This is also known as affiliate marketing.

In affiliate marketing, you get paid a commission when someone clicks on your affiliate link and makes a purchase. Depending on the subject of your Blog, you can recommend products that solve people's problems.

For example, I had a subscriber who asked me how she can blog about cats and make money from blogging about cats.

I shared with her that firstly, perhaps she might want to go niche instead of targeting the broad
category of "cats", and using the example of a Persian cat, which is a niche by itself, she can start a blog on Persian cats, providing valuable information as well as recommended solutions and products to the upkeep and maintenance of Persian cats.
