Should You Be Using Rss Feeds And Blogs?

Today's marketplace is extremely competitive. The Wal-Marts
of the world are squeezing the life out of small business
enterprises. Meanwhile the World Wide Web is inviting small
marketers with open arms. Rather than having an amazing amount
of resources available, the Internet requires savvy and alert
marketing methods. Blogs and RSS Feeds will blow your mind with
the virtually free growth potential they offer small and large
marketers alike.

Why not level the playing field to give your small or new web
business a boost? Blogs were once used as a personal online
"diary" where people could express their thoughts and feelings,
but today they offer a quick and efficient way to get your
website indexed really fast! Forget about spending months to
build a small clientele. A few minutes each day, spent writing
about the market you're involved in will bring your site to the
attention of search engines fast and we all love free traffic.
Incorporate your blog into a RSS feeds and your site will be
broadcasted across the world in no time at all bring even more
free traffic.

Alicia was the typical homemaker who spent her days raising kids,
sewing, cleaning, and of course folding piles of laundry. She
did have one pastime - surfing the web. Early in her experience
she knew absolutely nothing about web terms. In fact, the
mention of a spider would have sent her running. As her
knowledge grew, she began to get a wild dream of becoming a
virtual entrepreneur. Could she do it?

She thought of what her family would think about her attempt.
Their number one reaction she imagined would be surprise. This
made the decision - she would keep her business attempt a secret,
and if all went well she'd have a really great surprise in store
for them. Alicia went through the normal first steps of setting
up a website, and readying her product - a mother's personal
organizer. Next she researched all of the marketing plans she
could find.

Day after day, after the kids went off to school Alicia spent a
few minutes blogging about everyday events in the life of a
mother. She incorporated RSS feeds into her plan, and included a
great number of links to other sites of interest (all affiliate
links.) Day by day she watched her web traffic increase and her
bank account grow. By Christmas time she had the most amazing
surprise to present to her family - a bank statement that proved
she had earned more than $30,000 in her spare time of a few
minutes each day.Â

How could such a simple marketing plan work for an obvious
newbie? Simply! Alicia just found a plan that involved a little
technological knowledge and implemented it. She happened to have
found a way to get her site indexed and listed on search results
almost immediately. Spiders love updated content and long lists
of related links. Alicia, like most mothers, knew that if you
feed something what it likes, it'll pretty much do what you want
it to! For Alicia, a little mother's insight paid off.
