The Anti-WSO - Radically Super Strategy - FREE RSS Secrets and Examples Here
Hi Warriors...
No need for a big and bold headline...Instead of the typical sales letter, I'm going to use this thread to show you some of the powerful ways you can use RSS to multiply your marketing efforts.
Forget about not knowing what RSS "is". This thread is about what RSS DOES and how we can make it do the work of 100 people.
Of course, I'll have some offers for you to make some strategies easier and/or more potent, as this is a WSO after all...But be sure to check back even if you don't buy because you'll discover some cool things you can do with RSS.
How To Create A Daily Newsletter Without Writing A Word Did you know that Aweber lets you add RSS to your emails? Here's some cool tricks you can use right now with Aweber email service...And they all include the use of RSS.
What this means is, once you can find a good, usable RSS feed, all you need to do is copy the URL of the feed then paste it into Aweber , pick a template, set schedule and you have a self-writing newsletter.
See Just How Easy This Is:
If you have Aweber , login and go to: Messages => Blog Broadcast Messages For RSS Feed URL, copy the following URL and enter: http://pheeds.com/4u/today.cgi?rss=1&id=
Subject: Today
Select and LOAD a template
Set the Timer - How Often Should We Send Your Blog Broadcasts?
Select "When Number of New Items is at least" = 1.
You have now created a self-writing, totally hands-free email newsletter that will send everyone on the list a short article containing historical trivia about today's date. Things like historical events, births, deaths and celebrations that take place on each day of the year.
The RSS URL I gave you above is one I created using Wikipedia content and a special system (not available) that rotates different Wikipedia content and turns it into RSS feeds, so they can be inserted into other programs.
It's OK for you to use this RSS pheed, so go ahead and mess around with it. But please only "ping" once a day. This RSS pheed only updates once a day so there's no point wasting either your or my computer resources. Thanks.
The content you see on the following page is the same content that is being added to the Aweber email messages: Disabled
Or sign up for the email to check it out first-hand..Not only will you learn something about using RSS for content syndication, it's filled with fun and interesting info:
After you check it out, remember if you have any email service that accepts RSS, you to can have an "auto-writing" newsletter just like this one in a matter of minutes.
You can do the same thing if you have a WordPress blog or other blog that exports an RSS pheed. Just repeat the simple steps above and each time your blog is updated, Aweber sends an email. There are many other ways to configure this, so pay attention to the "How Often Should We Send Your Blog Broadcasts" function.
If you Select "When Number of New Items is at least" = 1, then every time you make a blog post (and maybe even comments), Aweber will send an email to the relevant list of subscribers. This may be a bad thing!
Also, if you instead choose to have it sent everyday, then it will be send even if you don't update your blog. This isn't good either. Spend some thought on the scheduling features, there's no "one size fits all" and you'll need to adjust accordingly.
The keys are:
1 Finding a good RSS feed (Good content + OK to use)
2 How often the content in the RSS feed is updated
3 In your Aweber/email admin, match the "send times" with how often the content in the RSS feed updates.
You can send a newsletter every day, but if the content doesn't update that often, then you'll just be emailing the same content over and over. Not good.
So we have a newsletter that has Today's history, births, deaths, events that is actually very interesting.
Now let's add to it: Digg.com makes users post their comments to the Public Domain and these are offered through an RSS feed. So let's add some daily updates from Digg to our newsletter.
They have an RSS feed for "offbeat" news. So let's add it to our newsletter, too.
Now our newsletter contains:
10 items about offbeat news
Today in History
We now have an entertaining daily newsletter that takes very little maintenance, and still contains good content.
BIG PROBLEM: Aweber doesn't allow you add more than one RSS feed per "blog alert". However, you can "mash" them, which just means to combine two or more RSS feeds into one RSS pheed.
Feedburner can do it. You can also use Yahoo Pipes to "mash' two feeds for you. Feedburner is probably a little easier, while Yahoo Pipes gives more control. Youtube offers many "how to" videos that will show you step by step how to "mash" multiple RSS pheeds into a single pheed.
If you own my Blogbomb script, you can also use it to mash multiple RSS feeds into one. Just create a separate category and enter the selected RSS feeds into that category. Then call the RSS feed using the category ID.
But if you want total control, you need the Scrubz Tuel...While using an RSS feed with Aweber is really easy, it's also very limited. For instance, Aweber only lets you add one RSS feed per message.
Scrubz takes in a bunch of RSS sources, then lets you pick and choose the best info, then Scrubz compiles it into a single RSS file and uploads it to your website.
Warning: Scrubz isn't "automatic". It's for people that want a "hands on" experience made as easy as possible to find and publish content and maintain total control.
If you want to use multiple RSS feeds and still be totally automatic, you will need to combine them (mash) into a single RSS. Services such as www.Feedburner.com and Yahoo Pipes can mash feeds for you automatically and hands free.
Whether you use Scrubz for power and control or an automatic service, now you have a custom RSS feed with the real good stuff from multiple RSS feeds. You can now use this single RSS feed with aWeber, giving you the best of all worlds.
A Great Idea: Monitor all the biggest and best blogs from all the experts in your niche. Every week, send out a "digest" of the best stuff you found, linking to the blog, using Scrubz to easily review and include the latest blog posts and news.

Building a Syndication Using Ping.fm
Taken from the Bombsquad Forum
Download PingFM bot here:
(This bot is for BombSquad members only - WSO here and will save you time signing up for the following accounts. The Bombsquad offers a wide variety of powerful bots, Tuelz, and unique strategies to save you time and effort.)
This project is about building a syndication network to form a rock-solid foundation for your marketing projects.
What we're going to do is to create accounts at 10 of the biggest Web 2.0 sites on the Internet. These sites all have these two huge benefits in common:
1. They all work with Ping.fm, which means you can update all 10 of these sites from your single Ping.fm "dashboard".
But we're not just limited to these sites...As I posted above, Aweber accepts an RSS pheed, so that will also let us bring email marketing and list building into our syndication.
Your medium-term goal (over the next few months) should be to acquire at least 100 different resources that all use RSS in some way. While Bombsquad members will get more help finding these resources, but you should always be looking for more of your own.
Don't be afraid to put a little time into creating resources as a major part of your linking strategy. When you get a link, you just get a link. But when you acquire cyber real estate you get a lot more power. If you make a blog, you have the power to add more and more links to your own properties.
And the mixture of these sites gives us numerous added marketing options in addition to SEO. The ability to get "friends" and "followers" using strategies for Twitter, Facebook and Myspace is an example.
We're going to set up a mini-net of 10 of the most popular Web 2.0 sites. We're only using the sites that use RSS and can be used with Ping.fm. Ping.fm is a site that will allow you to log into it, then be able to post to all these 2.0 sites at once. It's like a central command station.
Ping.fm also accepts an RSS pheed, so any resource you have the exports an RSS pheed (like Wordpress blogs) can be used to update Ping.fm, which in turn updates your 10 Web 2.0 sites.
Example:
Wordpress blog => RSS => Ping.fm => 10 Social Media Sites
......RSS => Aweber email campaign
Add this to Aweber and we're building a solid foundation of syndication and automation. Just one post on our WP blog and we're updating Twitter, Facebook, Blogger, creating and sending an email newsletter, and more.
There's basically two stages:
1 Creating accounts at the Web 2.0 sites.
2 Then adding these sites to Ping.fm, so Ping.fm can "control" all of the sites.
Included is a bot that will automate much of the this and greatly reduce the amount of time and effort needed.
Preparation:
Step I Creating Accounts
1. Bombsquad members can use the Ping bot to automatically create these 10 accounts.
Open the PingFMbot and fill in the three fields: User, email and password.
A .User: This should be one word, 8-14 letters. It can't already be in use, or you'll get errors. You can check to see if your name is in use across many sites here: http://knowem.com/
Try to pick a general keyword and mix it with a generic word plus a number, like skinnybill7a, healthybarb4u, doglover000. This will get a related keyword in your name, have a great chance of being unique, and not sound too spammy. Your user name will also (almost) always been in the URL of your page/profile. Give this some thought, a good user name has to serve different functions.
B. Email: Use a gmail address.
C. Password: Make it 8 characters. Use small and upper case letters and a number or two. This will meet the requirements of all the sites.
For simplicity, the bot will generate other account info such as names, birthdays, etc.
2. Click the START BUTTON >.
The bot will go to each site and fill in your info. Complete the page, such as filling in a captcha or clicking the submit button that takes you to another page. When done with a site, click the START BUTTON again repeat the process.
Non Bombers Free Method - Go to the following sites and create an account at each:
Wait a couple of minutes and log into your email account used for the project and verify emails. There are only 8-9 accounts that need verifying and each is important, so it's best to do these by hand and not automate it.
Also, check the Tumblr email for your "email to blog" email address. Keep a record of it with all your account info.
Step III - Add the Accounts to Ping.FM
Non Members: Log into Ping.fm and add the accounts you created above to your Ping.fm control panel.
Bombers: The bot will do this for for some of the accounts:
1. Open Bot and select: AddAccounts2PingFM
Fill out the 3 input boxes:
User:
Email:
Pass:
User, email and password must all be the exact same as used in Step I Creating Accounts.
Check your www.Ping.fm dashboard to see which accounts have been added, and add any accounts by hand that weren't added automatically:
It will take some effort on your part, but not as much as you think. And remember, this is a one-time event that will pay dividends for a long time to come and is a tremendous multiplier of all future work.
Use the 80/20 rule for marketing - This plan uses different media. You have Twitter, blogs, MySpace, RSS and more. Focus on the "20%" of each that brings the "80%" of the results. In other words, learn the basics of each and implement them, then move on. Don't worry about being an expert and having to master every little detail. Know how to get people to see you and how not to get in trouble.
With this method, we can get "friends" and "followers", plus "readers" and "subscribers"...And they all add up! If you can get 100 people to pay attention to you on Twitter, another 100 to actually read your newsletter, 100 to find your Blogger blog in Google, etc, is the same as having one big email list.
And by using RSS, you can exploit them all as easily as one!
You are offering your people the most possible options to stay in contact in the way they prefer and this is a great customer service.
Use good content - This is very important. Since syndication is a true "multiplier", you make a blog post and it's multiplied 10X across some of the most important sites on the Web, in RSS and through email is why you need to use your top of the line content for this. It's basic math, if no one stays on your list or reads your tweets, 10 x 0 = 0. And if you post trash, you'll only be making 10x the trash.
But if you can get a few followers here and a subscriber there, you can greatly multiply your effort! One post or one email message and your words will be syndicated far and wide. Think about article marketing, but your articles are submitted to different sites and email automatically. And since you control the sites, you don't need to have some moderator approve your messages.
How to Syndicate Great Content the Fast and Easy Method:
Scrubz Tuel - If you really want great content, use the Scrubz Tuel to gather and "clean" your RSS feeds to syndicate top-notch content across all these platforms. Here's an example:
1 Set up a main blog using Wordpress on a domain you own.
1a Enter the RSS into Tuelz.
Optional: Mix and match any/all below:
2 Contact 10 good bloggers in your niche, ask if you can use their RSS feed in your content. Let's assume 2-3 agree.
2a Enter their RSS into Tuelz
3 Find good news sources based on relevant kewords and topics
3a Enter these RSS feeds into Tuelz
4Research best RSS feeds at Digg
4a Enter the RSS into Tuelz
5 Find keyword based RSS feed for Twitter
5a Enter the RSS into Tuelz
You'll have nice, high quality blend of content from Your main blog, plus your choice of the best from Guest bloggers, Topical news, Digg, and Twitter.
Using the Scrubz Tuel in an Example Network:
Assuming you've added the RSS pheeds to Tuelz, open the Scrubz Tuel, select your own blog posts, the best post(s) from your guest bloggers, the best news items, and a couple of the best Digg stories tweets from Twitter, all with a few clicks of your mouse.
Log in to Aweber and add the RSS pheed created by Scrubz to Aweber and use it to email your list the content.
Don't want to write? See what your guest bloggers have written...Can you use their content?
Or paste some PLR or EzineArticles.com content in your Wordpress blog?
A decent article plus some good news, stories and tweets can go a long way.
Add the RSS pheed created by your Wordpress blog to Ping.fm. Ping.fm will then post it to the sites we set up above.
Blog URLs:
The following URLs point to your page(s) that the public and search engines will see.
Just replace the text string "username" in the URLs below with the user name you used to create your accounts. Note that Hi5 and Facebook add a user number to your URL, so you will need to gather these are your own. For all the rest you just need to replace with your own user name.
After customizing, submit the URLs for the RSS pheeds to the major RSS directories. You can use Incansoft's RSSBot, do it by hand, or wait a few days and I'll make a bot that submits to a few of the best RSS directories.
In the future, just go to the bookmark folder and "open all in tabs" and you'll have quick access to the log in for all the sites. If you use Roboform or other password management program, you can create different profiles as you add new Ping.fm networks for different niches. And remember, you can post to all of them from your Ping.fm account, so you won't need to log in to individual accounts very often.
Tip: You may want to copy this for your "homepages" also.
Just create two bookmark folders in Firefox:
Dog Training Pingfm - Login
Dog Training Pingfm - MyPage (MyPage is the page the public sees)
EMAIL2POST:
Four of these sites have an extra juicy feature: Email to post. What this means is you can create an email address for these accounts and every email you send to those addresses will be posted on the sites. Add them all to a mailing list and update them all by sending a single email.
Each email address is different as it also needs to act as a password (since you don't want anyone being able to send it email), but look for how to set up Email2Post at:
Blogger.com
Vox.com
Tumblr.com
Multiply.com

Nope. Not only does this thread many uses of RSS that don't use email, any RSS friendly email system will work. I believe PHPlist is a free list program you can intall that is RSS friendly.
I use my own scripts for this...And actually just cancelled my Aweber account, which I got only so I could do this tutorial.

Ok, Kurt,
Providing it runs on my server, this is where Godfather would come in to replace the newsletter effect of RSS using Aweber, correct.

Hey Kelvin,
That's correct. Actually for RSS, Godfather is better than Aweber in that you can add multiple feeds.
I didn't bring it up in this thread because it's been retired by me and I don't offer it any more. But if it works for you, go ahead and use it. I still do.
