For ten days now my personal blog has been in syndication. What is syndication? Well, in my dictionary a ”syndicate” is defined as: combination of individuals or businesses to promote a common interest. So, syndication is when this promotion takes place.
You may have seen the letters RSS. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. Why would a blogger use RSS? Why, to bring in more readers. Syndication allows readers to find your content more easily.
The online syndication that I’m using is Feedburner. I was familiar with it because I used it on a previous blog. When I deleted the blog I forgot about syndication. Now with my present blog I remembered Feedburner. If you’re thinking of syndication here are a few things you might want to keep in mind.
First off blog several days a week. Syndication works better when it has something to syndicate. In that way it’s just like blogging. There will be several options you will have to decide on. Read carefully what the options will do. Some may benefit you and some may not. Like podcasting. I’m not a podcaster.
Feedburner allows a blogger to monetize the feed of his or her blog. And Feedburner is free.
Unless you’re a big-time blogger and your website gets a lot of traffic, don’t expect syndication to bring in lots of traffic. I use the option of just showing the title of a post and a few words so that if a reader wants to read the entire article the reader has to click on the title and that brings the reader to the blog.
In the pass few days the syndication brought three readers to the blog. Once a blogger sets up syndication the syndication is automatic. You publish on your blog and the content appears in syndication. If I get five new readers from syndication every week and one new subscriber from e-mail subscription every two weeks, I’ll be a happy man. Most hosting platforms offer some kind of e-mail subscription.
Syndication and e-mail subscription are easy to use online marketing tools every blogger should be aware of.
Nice piece…thanks for sharing…
I’ve just created a blog. This piece of information is really useful to me.
You can also set up an RSS feed on twitter. Every time you post it will tweet. My twitter is set up with an automatic feed to Facebook. That way I get them both without doing anyhing.
A great write!
Very well done!
qasimdharamsy, syndication and e-mail subscription are very easy for a blogger to set up. Every blogger should take advantage of these two tools.
Anuradha, I’m glad you found the information useful and good luck on your new blog.
Another great points for consideration. Well done my friend.
Thanks for this insight. Very helpful article.
A writer needs to use everything at their diposal. You are certainly doing that.
Now I know what RSS means.
Yeah, RSS is very important to promote blogs/articles. I use feedburner as well. Good write.
Thank you. I had no idea what this was.
You are coming out with some cracking information about blogging – thank you so much for sharing – I too was not that familiar with RSS (but have seen in plastered all over the Internet!)
Gwitt, my WordPress blog has an option that you can use that will automaticly publish your post on Twitter. So, I use that, too.
A very helpful and informative post. Well done.

Thanks Guy, I’ve wondered what RSS is but am cautious about clicking on something I know nothing about, afraid of where it may lead me. This is timely information, as I too have just set up a blog.
I have got some catching up to do. Thanks for the information.
Thanks, I never thought about doing this.
going to get the salt and pepper putting this on my plate and eating it up yummy!
Thanks for the share.Informative articles especially people want money online.-Pearl
RSS is extremely important. Very good tip for new bloggers.
Thanks that was very helpful, I will be interested to know how you get on with this.
Great article — I had never heard of syndication before. You mentioned e-mail subscription. I believe you use blogger as your blog host. Can you describe email subscription using blogger in another article?
Thanks, Guy. Your stuff is very helpful.
Best,
Ron
