o SiteBuildIt RSS Feed
========================


One of the more inventive ways I have seen
RSS used is in the Ken Evoy's Affiliate
Program - SiteBuildIt.

It has been a huge hit with old and new
affiliates alike. And it's quite simple,
any affiliate owner can use RSS feeds to
bring in new affiliates and make sales.

SiteBuildIt's RSS feed provides 'penetrating
insight into how the Web's #1 small business
e-commerce company, SiteSell.com, runs its own
family of sites. Updates, lessons, mistakes...
it's all there. Quick, easy, interesting lessons.
Simple to promote...'

Here's how it works as an affiliate program -

1) Affiliates Send people to their RR URL for SiteSell's home page...



2) Affiliates tell them to click on the RSS orange button
and subscribe to SiteSell's RSS Feed.

That sets YOUR cookie onto each visitor. And then...


The RSS feed is basically doing the job or taking the place
of the 'follow-up' email series most marketers use to
finalize a sale. Everyone knows it usually takes 6 or 7
follow-ups to make a sale. The beauty of RSS - there are
no email filters or spam police to shut you down.

If you don't know about Ken Evoy's SiteBuildIt or
his affiliate program just click this link:

and add SiteSell's RSS feed to your list of
feeds!

Ken Evoy runs one of the best affiliate programs,
you can join. Great products, great stats and
most important of all - great pre-sell tools (brandable
ebooks, reports, and yes, rss feeds!).

And if you're into affiliate marketing - just
studying his techniques and methods is the only way to
go - even if you don't buy a single product -
the education alone is worth your bother!

Actually, it's priceless!

o Finding Time to Blog
========================


I recently had a discussion on one
of the marketing forums about how hard it is to
find for Blogs or Blogging.

The poster stated he just didn't have
time to blog. He was too busy with his
many websites to get the time.

As I have just finished writing and uploading
43 new pages to one of my own sites - I kinda
agreed with him. It's very hard to find the
time to keep one blog going - let alone when
you have 5 or 6 to constantly update - it does
take up a lot of your time.

One of the best solutions I have found - is
to make the blog an integral part of your
site. This is, put something you normally
do with your site into a blog.

What you ask?

Well, you're reading one of my solutions
right now. Put your daily, weekly - newsletter
into a blog. You can still send it out by e-mail, just
place an 'online' version of your newsletter or
ezine into a blog.

It's writing that you have to do anyway, and
it takes so little time to post it in a blog.
The benefits will be worth your while - the
search engine indexing of your site that results
from keeping a blog(s) is reason enough.

Another solution, is to put your website's updates, or
your company's news, announcements, memos into a blog.
It's already written and you just have to take a few
minutes to place it in a blog.

Another great time saver is to use free content
from 'article directories' like ezinearticles.com
or articlecity.com --- within minutes you can
have enough 'keyword rich' content to fill a
hundred blogs.

Just work these articles around your blog content
and fill it in with a few of your own ideas.

Probably, the best way to get a lot of blog
ideas, content and information is to subscribe to
other blogs in your subject area --- then when you
read or find a bit of newsworthy information--
just reference it in your blog, along with your
own viewpoints and a handy link to the source.

It's a great way to build links and contacts
with others in your area of interest. Blogs
are a great source of information and you will
be doing your bit for the 'blog community'!

You might also find it helpful to put aside
a particular time of the day or week to write
your blog. Sticking to a regular schedule will
save you time in the long run and make writing
your blog entries just another part of your daily
routine.

If you enjoy writing or even if you don't; keeping
a blog or blogs will greatly benefit your
site and your online presence. So much so, making
time for it should be your number one priority.

o Five Solid Reasons To Publish Your Ezine In a Blog!
========================

Besides saving you some time here are some other reasons
why you should put your ezine in a blog. Feel free to
use this article on your site or in your blog! All long
as you keep the links intact - that is!





Five Solid Reasons To Publish Your Ezine In a Blog!

Placing your ezine in a Blog or a RSS Feed only takes
minutes to do. It's easy, fast and free. There's no reason
why you shouldn't take advantage of this new technology.

Here are 5 solid reasons why you should publish your
ezine in a blog:

1. To Syndicate Your Ezine. Place your 'content'
and 'links' on hundreds of sites. As you probably know by
now, the internet is a numbers game - the more links, the
more content you have 'out there' - the more traffic you
will receive.

Syndicating your ezine in a RSS Feed will also make it more
readily available to those who don't check their email or
for those who get their email blocked by Spam Filters or Over
Zealous ISPs.


2. Get Feedback From Your Readers. In my opinion this is the
most important reason to publish your ezine in your
blog. It allows for instant reader feedback.

Communication with your subscribers is essential for building
trust. Instant contact also adds creditability - you are
a real human being - ready to answer any questions a
subscriber might have.

As an extra bonus - your readers also get a chance to add
links to their site. Great for reciprocal linking.


3. Add to MyYahoo! By getting your subscribers to add your
blog to their 'MyYahoo' or 'Bloglines' - your readers have immediate
access to your ezine. You don't even need e-mail. The Spam Filters
can't touch you!

By getting your subscribers to bookmark or Add your ezine/RSS Feed
to their MyYahoo - you're building a large targeted contact list.
A great way to connect instantly with your subscribers.


4. Blogs Will Help Index Your Ezine Quickly. Get your ezine
indexed in all the search engines. More exposure, more sales,
more subscribers. Using 'MyYahoo' will get your ezine indexed
very quickly.

The search engines are constantly looking for fresh content on
your site. By publishing your ezine thru your blog adds fresh
content to your site. You can add new content in a matter of seconds -
without dealing with 'html' or 'xml'. Because it's so fast
and easy - you will be publishing more often or developing other blogs
to match the content on your site.

More links - higher PR rankings.

5. To Monetize Your Blog/Ezine. Many blogs such as eBlogger
encourages you to add the 'adsense code' to your blog. If you have
a large subscriber base you can earn extra money from your ezine
and blog for months; if not years to come.

This is in addition to all those affiliate links and product
promotions you have in your ezine. Get these links indexed
and earning you money for years to come!

In addition, as an extra bonus, by actually using RSS or a blog
you will become familiar with this new technology. Maybe all
the hype about RSS is somewhat overblown but in the near
future every web site will have it. Where's there's hype -
there's interest!

Gear up now to take advantage of this interest. Put RSS on
your site right now.

No one can afford not to use this opportunity to get their
content 'out there' - syndicated on the web. RSS is just
another way of passing along information. You should
take advantage of it.
