Hi ALL! I am George Pierce, this post is about using RSS for your email list. RSS stands for really simple syndication which is a web feed that allows users to receive updates when new content is created. Most of my websites have a "news' section, which is primarily numerous RSS readers that are 'hooked up' to various RSS feeds, which equals a steady flow of 'fresh' content in addition to my own content. I have not used RSS in emails, which is a bit tricky and you need an email service that handles RSS, but my main reason was 'lack of control' and over-emailing. Most of what I share is about something that I have tried, tested, and proven, this is NOT.
It is a new RSS feature that I believe I am going to love, and you will too. The feature allows us to use RSS in our emails, and we can control it!
What you see above is a snapshot of the RSS option. It is called Check Feed. The email service is AWeber, which has a free option that stays free for up to 500 subscribers. Why I am sharing this new feature is that it so easy to set up and to control.
Begin by clicking on the Check Feed option, which will be on the left in your campaign.
When you do, Check Feed (as you see above will show up in your campaign). Setting up a welcome week is another training post, but AWeber has excellent 'WELCOME' training...your first week of emails can set the tone for your long-lasting email relationship, so, I suggest that you put your Check Feed below your Welcome Week. Each email, including Check Feed, can be moved up or down in your campaign. changing when it will be sent out.
Click on Check Feed that is now in your list, and your Check Feed controls will show up on the right (as you see below).
You can select the RSS feed you want and paste it into the feed URL box. Keep it related to your niche. You can also set the frequency, day, and time. Even if you fail to create an email (Hurricane Helene temporarily stopped my email creation, for example), your Check Feed option will still send emails. You can set it for weekly and be assured that at least one email will be sent weekly, and only one, not one hundred and one.
When it comes to finding a feed, it is easy. You can use your search box or a site such as FeedSpot (above). What you are looking for is a site with relative content. The RSS URL will end in slash feed ( /feed). Above is an example using weight loss, however, this works in virtually any niche.
Thank you for reading.
Much success,
George Pierce
