Blogging and RSS

Many people don’t realize that blogs started out as a subscription style online journal for people to receive via email, otherwise known as a RSS feeds.

The RSS feed is an easy way to land your blog post in millions of people’s inboxes, and on the net under bookmarks as well.

With the advancement in technology the RSS feeds will now automatically update themselves to provide people with a wonderful array of blog posts daily without ever having to actually visit the blog itself. This means that you could grow a virtual subscriber base with one simple niche blog, and profit from the experience every time you make a post.

One example of setting up a blog for maximum RSS exposure is to write a blog with hyperlinked keywords that are directly linked to your products.
