Having dedicated and loyal readers as the ability to retain and gain more is the key to running a successful blog. The following article talks about the various methods that you can use to get more RSS subscribers to your blog …

Get Friends to Recommend Your Blog and RSS Feed: Everybody knows that testimonials are great in terms of getting people to take action but referrals work even better. It’s true: if your friends recommend your blog feed to their own readers you will have a much better response because you will be taking advantage of an already trusting relationship. You will see that, by allowing your friends to help you here, you will be slowly and steadily adding better and more consistent subscribers to your feed without having to put out any extra effort of your own.Recommendations always work well because there is a comfort factor that gets people in.

Keep Your Blog Focused: If your blog is clear on what it is about, you will find that to stay update, more and more people will be willing to subscribe to your blogs feed. People won’t feel a need or want to subscribe to your blog if your writing is unfocused and jumps around from general topic to general topic. So your readers know exactly what to expect when they subscribe and that you know exactly what you are giving, the content of your blog should be tight and focused. Your blog can give your target audience the specialized and targeted information that is in such demands these days. So that you can increase the number of people who want to subscribe and opt-in, it is time to pull your blog together and make it focused.

Create a Second Subscription Option: Rather than just offer visitors the option of only subscribing to your RSS feed, why not offer email subscriptions as well for them to stay updated about new posts? Plenty of people still prefer to use email and many of these will find an email subscription preferable too. You might already be using Feedburner for your RSS feed, but you can also use their ‘publicize’ option to manage your email subscriptions as well. Another option that can help you manage your email subscribers and your feed as well is FeedBlitz.

The tips discussed aren’t difficult to apply, and anyone with the right information can do so and see increased numbers of targeted RSS feed subscribers to their blog.
