Someone email me awhile back asking what is RSS?

It seems like not a lot of people know this but (RSS) doesn’t just stand for just one thing. RSS usually stands for “really simply syndication,” but it can also mean “rich site summary,” or “RDF site summary” — RDF standing for “resource description framework.” That answers the question of what is RSS, but a lot of people still don’t have clue what it does?

What is RSS in the context of really simple syndication? Ok, stop pulling your hair out I’ll explain.
You see RSS is kind of like a tool that allows sites to give a quick summary of important links and descriptions in XML format.

XML = (Extensible Markup Language), this essentially allows them to syndicate their content by allowing other blog owners and webmasters to use this summary as part of a list of summaries on a specific topic.

Bloggers and webmasters collect these various summaries with something called a feed aggregator or a feed reader. You can one such tool a feed reader at Feed Reader. Rather than asking “what is RSS?” this tool will ask “where is the RSS” — and then find it. An aggregator finds RSS feeds to aggregate from any website that has RSS enable, some of the larger sites – such as Amazon, Google, Yahoo and MSN are all RSS compliant.

One thing you have to remember is that a feed reader and an aggregator are two different type of tools. Most webmaster use an aggregator to pull ready made content from other sources like Amazon, Google, Yahoo and MSN. The script that is generated from the aggregator can be inserted into your blogs. This then creates an RSS feed that automatically pulls news items and blog posts whenever they appear. Whenever the blog or site page is refreshed, it will display the latest items.

This is good for two reasons. If you use your own RSS feed, you can get your content syndicated across the Internet without actually paying to submit dozens of press releases and contact dozens of blog owners and webmasters.

Additionally, using RSS feeds is good if you own a blog and want to add fresh content. This will allow you to constantly put new content links and summaries on your blog without spending the time to hunt around for related information. All you will have to do is select a feed aggregator and select a potential feeds from a list of news sites and authority blogs. Additionally, you will be able to input your own selections, allowing you to create custom feeds.

A feed reader is a tool that sits on your desktop and monitor your website or other peoples website or blog and whenever the content changes you feed reader pops up with a message letting you know that the website or blog have just been updated with new content. Here is an excellent feed reader tool to use this is the one I use myself everyday. Feed Reader

A Mini Report or E-book that includes your marketing message and a link back to your website is a proven technique when it comes to viral marketing. This method uses what is called the multiplication effect to “explode” the distribution of your marketing message in the same way a virus would by using willing participants.

This is the basic principle that was used by Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, Skype, MSN to get established. The basic principle is this most virus need a carrier in order to spread like a wildfire. People who used free email or instant messenger would freely let friends and family know about the benefits of theses services and in that way cause the virus effect.

People who sent emails to their friends would automatically advertised the free email site by means of the text link which is added to all out going emails from the host service.

Using viral E-books or mini reports as a marketing method is cheap. It doesn’t take long to set up and it’s even quicker if you use rebrandable reports or E-books that have been pre written
by others. Just use your favorite search engine and do a web search. You will find many rebrandable E-books and reports that are available on whatever subject you are interested in and that apply to your e-business.

One method of distributing the report and E-book is to offer it to visitors in exchange for subscribing to your newsletter. Reports and E-books are capable of reaching a large audience
and are limited only by the enthusiasm of the participants. A really quick way to get your reports on tons of subscribers desktop is to do something I call solo adswaping.

What I mean by doing an adswap is very simple you find other websites in your niche and do a joint venture with them, where you send there solo ads to your list and they do the same in return. Another thing you can do is do a profit sharing with the people that distribute your report for you.

Reports and E-books are fairly easy to create. It’s possible to produce your own reports by combining articles that you have written or have gotten from public domain sources, such as directories or a ghostwriter.

One such common approach is to use material that has Private Label Rights, including articles and reports that have been written specifically for that purpose, for that niche. Using a portion of a larger work that you have prepared such as the first three chapters of a large E-book could also be used as a viral E-book or mini report.

There’s a saying that goes something like this “Everything that has been said has already been written” but in all honesty nothing could be futher from the truth. Ideas, people and beliefs changed all the time and it’s the perfect time to write an ebook or report.

So, what are you going to do?
