From the book of John! - Chapter 5.25

Filed Under (RSS Tips) by Collin on 07-02-2008

With keeping to my word of being able to give all my readers a site they can come to and find what ever information they might will need to grow there RSS feeds and start making money, today I have decided to give you a little quote from the book of John, John Chow that is. Here is that quote!

Offer a full feed 

If you really want to increase your RSS base, then you must offer a full feed. Many RSS users won’t subscribe to your feed if it’s not full. I have over 30 feeds in my Google reader.  Every single one of them is a full feed. If you don’t have a full feed, I’m not subscribing.

I use my RSS feed to give my readers a mostly ad free version of my blog. Do not use RSS  as a teaser in the hopes that the reader will click to the blog in order to read the full post. Unless your blog is updated 20+ times per day, readers won’t sign up to the RSS in the first place.

I just wanted to give you a small taste of what is in the free ebook you can get from John’s site. A lot of people don’t like the way he makes his money online but I say, who cares how he makes it, John is able to do something with his blog that most of us never will and that’s make over 30k a month like he did in January.

One thing that John does achieve with his blog and that’s give thousands and thousands of lines of text each month that inspire so many blogger’s to chase there dreams. I am not saying however his way is the end all, be all of the blogging world but his book ( which is easy to find right in the middle of his header ) does give you a great base to start your money making blog from.

The reason why I chose the quote I did from his book is simple, John understands very clearly why it is important to offer a full feed, unlike so many blogs I have seen over the past few months. It is a point of respecting your readers, giving them every reason you can to read your blog, even if that means they don’t stop by everyday.

I will end this post with a question and please feel free to answer it.  Do you have time everyday to hit your favorite blogs?
