When people subscribe to your RSS feed, they are providing you with lots of free traffic, and so you need to reward them by making them as happy as possible so they won't leave. The following article will provide you with three top tips for retaining all your RSS subscribers for as long as possible.
The first thing you should keep in mind when you want to keep subscribers is that your content should always be new. Never just copy material from other sources because that will make people think that you're fake and they won't want to subscribe to you. The best way to get people to subscribe to your RSS, and keep them there, is to provide them with content that's only on your website. It's just like selling products, as people will feel cheated if you sell them a fake product. If you think being unique is difficult, it's not, as all you have to do is write it with a little of your personality thrown into the mix. Plenty of bloggers have seen lots of success and it's all because they are always providing information that's valuable and rare and their readers appreciate that.
If you can treat your subscribers with respect, they will start to respect you. Remember that RSS subscribers are easier caught then held onto, so always work at keeping your subscribers happy.
Secondly, you will always want to make sure you are focusing on quality instead of quantity when it comes to your blog posts. When people subscribe to your feed, it's because they have information they seek and you have it on your blog. This is why quality always beats out quantity. You'll want your posts to be valuable and you should always be quick to the point. You won't have many subscribers left if you create posts and you don't care about offering any value.
Also, don't use popup advertisements like viglink or infolink, as your readers will just go off to somewhere else. It won't make your readers feel welcome, and in fact they will get annoyed. For instance, if you have a hyperlink in posts that offer places to sign up, your popup that hovers over it will offer a new link. When readers click the ads in the popups, they're not going to go anywhere near where you want them to in your post. For that reason, keep away from popups if you want your readers to remain satisfied.
You should now see just how simple it is to keep people on as RSS subscribers. Just remember that your subscribers enjoy what you provide, so always provide that.
