There are many ways to grow your subscriber numbers to your RSS feed, but in most cases these will involve looking for ways to encourage blog visitors to actually sign up to your feed. This article will discuss some ways to help you increase your RSS feed subscriber numbers.
Reader Encouragement at the Bottom of Each Post: People need to be reminded and encouraged to subscribe to your blogs RSS feed. One effective way to do this is to post a small message at the end of each of your post specifically telling your readers that they can subscribe to your feed and how they should go about the process. Since your post is already going to be interactive in nature where you commit to communicate your ideas with your readers, your little message is going to come within this flow and it won't look odd. All you are doing there is showing your readers the benefits they can get out of subscribing to your blogs RSS feed, and there is noting wrong in that. Your readers will be in a receptive mode to the idea of your message at this time, especially if they enjoyed your post. Have Some Humor: Lots of people unwind at the end of a hard day by jumping online to give them a break away from stress and pressure of daily life. Often the small, light-hearted touches from time to time in posts are those that make people smile or take notice, which can be a good incentive to get people signing up for your RSS feed. You might usually write serious or factual stuff on your blog, but adding a touch of humor always attracts attention. Your blog visitors will appreciate the light-hearted touch. Just think of a good, funny reason at the end of each of your post that could give to your readers while asking them to join your blog's RSS feed. However, just make sure you don't go overboard with it.
Optimize Your Opt-In Page: If your subscription page is completely empty except for the sign up form, you're missing an opportunity. This page can be a great opportunity to show new readers your testimonials. Positive comments from other subscribers can be a great way to entice new people to sign up. If you don't have this kind of feedback yet, send a quick email to your subscribers and ask for comments. You can even put up a dedicated post on your blog where you ask your readers to give feedback, and if not that, search around the comments section to find if you've got any positive remarks from your readers - you'll find tons.
The tips that we discussed above aren't rocket science - anybody with the right level of knowledge can apply them and see results coming their way in the form of more targeted RSS feed subscribers.
