Whilst you’ll make your RSS unique, don’t paddle backward by making it a challenge for readers to seek out your RSS subscriber icon or opt-in.I’ve visited many blogs where I’ve enjoyed reading the content but felt so damn frustrated because I could not find the RSS subscription form or icon. within the footer may be a no! hidden during a page elsewhere on your blog no, no, no! not having any… worst still!

Also make it easy for readers to subscribe, don’t give them questionnaires or an inventory of radial buttons to see, just make it really simple.Let them know what it’s all about Don’t assume that everybody knows what that big orange square RSS logo means. Consider teaching your readers about RSS; write a few posts or do a video tutorial explaining what it’s all about and therefore the value of subscribing to an RSS feed. Education is that the best policy in any blogging niche…
