Build Your List With RSS

With all of the different methods available today for getting traffic to your blog or your website some work better than others. and lets face it in order to succeed you need to build your list. As you probably know one thing that is very important is getting targeted traffic while building your list. One of the best list building methods available today to drive " targeted traffic" to your website is with an RSS feed. Not only is this great for bringing in traffic but it is an awesome way to build your list.

Now what is an RSS feed? It is a way for the subscribers to your blog to have access to your information as it is updated. As people are signing up for your RSS feed you are building your list. One thing most people want today is to be in control. An RSS feed gives them that control as you build your list and the nice part about this method is the people that sign up for your feed know that your building your list and they do not care as long as you do not bombard them with email adds all of the time. This will generate repeat traffic as well as building your list for you.

One thing you have to be careful of if you want to build your list and take advantage of this repeat traffic is to constantly provide interesting and relevant information to your blog. If your subscribers do not find information of interest or relevance they will Unsubscribe. This will undo all of your list building efforts.

It is important when building your list that you maintain a good solid relationship with your subscribers. Building your list with this method just like any other list building method can easily come undone if you fail to do that. Do not make the mistake that so many other marketers make when it comes to list building. What is that list building mistake you ask? It is quite simply this, most marketers hear the same mantra over and over again the money is in the list. If you want to succeed you have to build your list. so they throw up a lead capture page and when someone signs up for that free report, e course etc. they turn around and start slamming their list with buy this and buy that. They never from that point forward provide anything of any real value. That is no way to build your list.

With all of the traffic generation methods available, the RSS feed is one of the easiest and most reliable methods of bringing targeted traffic to your blog while building your list. And the best thing about RSS traffic is that you set it up one time on your blog and you have to do nothing except ensure that you continue to post pertinent and relevant information so that your subscribers will continue to come back. When people find something good they tell their friends and so they come and your list building continues to get better and the best thing about this form of traffic generation is that it is 100% Free.

What kind of blog should you create? well you could create one on list building for example. but that is a tough niche to break into. If you don't believe me Google list building as I write this article there are 33,000,000 yes that is 33 Million listings for list building. Now Google build your list, that is a little better at 15,600,000 listings but still a tough market. Ok now Google building your list. that is 18,600,000.

If you want to build your list you should start a blog on something that you know something about and does not have to much competition. Do you know something about Chinchillas? if so start a blog on that you could build your list from that. building your list is not that hard if you provide value to your list.
