Even more great reasons to switch to RSS

There’s even more good news using RSS…

In my last post I talked about some of the reasons many people have been turning to RSS in place of using a list management system.

Here are a few other interesting facts you may want to take note of as an online business owner:

  1. RSS is searchable.  You can search RSS just as Google would HTML content online.  This makes it really easy for site visitors to find the content they want
  2. RSS feeds aren’t blocked by email or spam filters.  If you’ve been using email management systems of any kind, you know how hard it is to overcome this.  The fact is, that email is so tampered with and spam so prevalent that many times you might use “blockable” words in you email content, not realizing so, and have your mails blocked from the inbox of many of your subscribers.  For example, a word such as “free” or phrases like “free money” may get your email blocked…but when you’re using RSS it’s simply not the case.
  3. RSS can be modified quite easily.  When you send out an email via email management system, it’s typically time stamped.  The content of that email once sent out cannot be revoked. Once it’s out there, that’s it.  Not so with RSS.  Any updates you create on your backend are immediately reflected in your post when site visitors go to read your site.

Just a few thoughts about RSS and your email management.  What are your thoughts?  Leave me a comment below…
