How To Get 1261 RSS Subscribers In Less Than 3 Months
2007-10-23 11:02:00 Well, the goal was to get 1000 subscribers in the first month. Which would have been quite awesome, but it didn’t happen. Instead, it took 3 months to get 1261 RSS readers. Don’t get me wrong, I think this is pretty nice! :) Sometimes you gotta aim high, and then re-adjust. That’s what I did. So, since every single blogger out there has a post on how you can increase your RSS numbers, I thought I’d write one too (no “sure-fire ways” post here, just my personal experience)! :) How It All Started I launched FreelanceFolder at the end of July 07. The goals were: 1000 RSS Subs cribers in the first month Alexa Rank in the 70k range Technorati Rank around 15k At least 2000-2500 hits per day 30-60 posts/articles in the first month We almost made it, except for the RSS count part. Well, I’m quite happy! :) Writing Kick-Ass Posts What’s the number one reason someone subscribes to a feed? Some will say it’s a nice design, some will say i...
