Getting More People to Subscribe to Your RSS Feed

If you want to obtain a high number of RSS feed subscribers, you will need to focus on content. However, there are some other things that can help you increase the number of your RSS subscribers. A little bit of marketing might be necessary to make your blog well known in the blogosphere. This in turn will attract more RSS subscribers. Here is what else you can do to increase the number of your RSS subscribers:

1. Write compelling content so that visitors will want to subscribe. Before you start to promote your blog and look for ways to attract potential subscribers, it is a good idea to ask yourself a question: “If it was up to me, would I subscribe to my own RSS feed in order to read my articles?”
2. Promote your RSS feed while commenting on forums and attach it to your email signatures. Most forums have an option to do that. It is a good idea not to miss such opportunities, and try to market your blog wherever possible.
3. Make you RSS feed button easily accessible to your readers. Placing a button in the right place is the key to success. Use widely recognizable RSS buttons that most users are familiar with.

Even if you have a quite low number of subscribers, it does not have to mean that your blog does not have valuable content. It might simply mean that your blog did not get discovered yet by the blogosphere.
