how to increase rss feed subscribers?

[Fazal Mayar]

hey guys, im wondering how to increase subscribers. I think i should try out some free rss submission sites, can you link me? any services offered for that here or on other forums?

Hey Fazal,

I think one of the best ways to increase your RSS subscribers is to educate your readers. Believe it or not, a large majority of the people outside of the Internet Marketing world have no idea what RSS is and how it can help them.

If you tell your visitors how RSS works + give them a few reasons WHY they should subscribe to your feed, chances are, more people will subscribe.

Also, FeedBurner (http://www.feedburner.com) gives you the ability to allow your visitors to subscribe to your feed via email.

What makes more sense to someone who knows nothing about RSS?

"Subscribe to the RSS Feed - LINK HERE"

or

"Want to know when we update our site? Enter your email address below and be notified by mail every time we update our site"

If I didn't know anything about RSS, I'd probably ignore the "Subscribe to our RSS Feed link" and be more inclined to enter my email for your updates.

That's just my 2 cents
