 by: Craig Desorcy

Are you a small businessman setting up a brand new website to advertise your products? Maybe you already have an active website, but desire to make it more interesting. Either way, you’ll want to investigate blogs and RSS feeds to give your website some awe-inspiring zing!

Even good, hardworking marketers come up against a brick wall sometimes. How many times have you grabbed your head in frustration, wracking your brain for innovative ideas to liven up your website and get more public interest? Don’t fret! Blogs and RSS feeds have taken many small marketers’ websites and blown them sky-high with additional traffic and revenue.

Bruce, like you, was a hard-working businessman. Now Bruce is also a successful marketer, but he hasn‘t always successfully marketed his products. Several years ago he set out try his luck as a virtual salesman. First, he thought of his hobbies and decided to make a video about his most favored hobby - body-building. After months of preparation and spirits high, Bruce’s web-page was designed and his product on-line. “All-right!” he bragged to his good buddy, Jeff. “I’ve got my website up and running. Now I’m going to make big bucks on-line.” His optimism quickly died after three months when he had only sold five of his high-quality workout videos , Twenty Minutes a Day to a Fat-free Muscle-bound Bod!

How did Bruce solve his problem and become successful? Simple! Bruce put a blog onto his website that he updated every few days. He gave his personal account of trimming his figure. Bruce also used RSS feeds to announce new products that complemented his video, and was amazed at the increase in traffic and sales his website began bringing in. Within a week, his sales had skyrocketed past his wildest expectations!

Bruce’s story is wonderful! It lifts the spirit and encourages the weary marketers. “But how are blogs and RSS feeds going to help me?” you might ask yourself. With blogs you can show that your product works. What better way is there to sell an item than to let the entire world know that the product has worked for you? Yeah, you can place pretty, attractive pictures and have witty advertisements, but with no proof that your product works, people aren’t going to buy your merchandise.

“Okay, so I see how blogs can help me gain traffic, but how will RSS feeds help?” you wonder. It’s quite simple really. RSS feeds are syndicated, in other words they are broadcast throughout the World Wide Web rather than to individual emails. Basically, RSS informs the whole world that you are out there and what you’re latest information is in one easy feed. WOW! How simple can you get?
