Build A Blog

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I have said before that the main aim for the case study blog - The Photographer Blog is to attract readers and then try and convert them into RSS subscribers. Here are 5 ways that I have used to make it easy for readers to become subscribers:

1. Large RSS button/icon
2. Place the button above the fold on the blog (area visible when the blog loads)
3. Write an article explaining what RSS is and how it works
4. Place a call to action at the bottom of each article
5. Post regularly

I have only listed 5 so as not to overwhelm you with information. I may be wrong but when I see ‘top 35 ways…” it puts me off a little because that is a lot of information to take in. But also when you are listing that many items I think they can get a bit diluted, so I try to stay 10 or under and use what I feel are the most important ways.

So I’ve set up the case study blog using these methods, and hopefully they will help readers to see the benefits of subscribing to an RSS feed, and make it easy for them to do so. You may also notice that this blog uses these methods as well, although I haven’t managed to post as regularly as I would like recently. But it is all for nothing if I haven’t got readers or traffic coming to the blog in the first place. So that is the next job on the list!

Thanks
