Copyright 2006 The IWE, LLC. All Rights Reserved.

RSS(Real Simple Syndication) is the BIG... Buzz around the Internet these days because of its Powerful ability to syndicate content Effortlessly and Instantly across the Internet to any website and/or subscriber who subscribed to that particular RSS Feed with a 100% GUARANTEED delivery.

What other technology online can guarantee you that?

Email? I don't think so.

RSS is it... Period!

And the crazy thing is, everybody who publishes content on their website on a regular basis is quickly adapting because of the many benefits RSS offers because lets face it, updating content manually on any given website is a very time consuming task, especially when you have to do it on a Day In and Day Out basis.

But, by having an RSS enabled website, not only do you get high quality content INSTANTLY delivered, you can now give your audience more content with less work on your part leaving you more time to focus on other important tasks you might have sitting on the back burner when you have time.

This is the main benefit RSS Syndication gives the website owner and/or valued subscriber.

Now that you have some idea of how RSS can simplify updating content on any given website, what does this have to do with Article Marketing and how does it benefit the content publisher who writes the articles?

Well... lets talk about it.

We all know that content is the life blood of the Internet and is why most people come online... right?

We also know that RSS syndicates content to whatever website that is RSS enabled and/or subscriber who uses an RSS aggregator.

The BIG question that's probably floating around in your head is... how do Article Publishers who write the articles benefit from RSS Syndication?

The answer is simple really.

Ever heard the phrase... "The Internet Is Nothing More Then A Numbers Game"?

If not, now you have and that is exactly what RSS Syndication will do for anybody who does or is just starting out can expect to benefit from by joining the Article Marketing game.

Let's talk about this a little more so it's clear in your mind.

Let's say you write your first article and your manage to locate, lets say... 20 Article Directories that offer FREE Article Submissions and offer RSS Feeds to website owners and to the general public to use.

And lets say that those 20 Article Directories collected all their RSS Feeds and submitted them to all the TOP RSS Directories on the web so that website owners and/or people with RSS Aggregators can locate those RSS Feeds so they can subscribe to them.

You with me so far?

Now, you go and submit your article to all 20 Article Directories and wait for their reply to see if your article got accepted.

You check your Inbox and find that all 20 article directories accepted your article into their database and would be syndicating it within the next 24 hours.

Notice I said the word "syndicating". That's because once your article is approved by that article directory and because these article directories use RSS technology to syndicate NEW content to whoever is subscribed, guess what happens to your article?

It gets syndicated to whoever is subscribed to that RSS Feed. So if you submitted to all 20 article directories under whatever category, and there were 200 subscribers per article directory subscribed to that RSS Feed, guess how many potential customers you will possibly come in contact with through your articles Resource Box?

Lets do the math... how's 4000 potential subscribers, which means you have a potential of receiving 4000 potential visitors to your website of choice... Absolutely FREE!

That's the power of RSS Syndication and is WHY article marketing is becoming one of the #1 ways to promote ANY website online.

I wrote this article just as a quick example of what RSS Technology can do for anyone using it on their websites and for those who use articles as part of their website promotion strategy so you can see how RSS will get your articles more exposure with NO extra work on your part.

I truly hope you see the benefits I outlined within this article and hope you take the neccessary steps to getting started with writing your own articles, if your not already, so you too can benefit from RSS Syndication like everyone else.

So... with that said, what are you waiting for?

Article Marketing Isn't For Everyone

Marketing with articles can take a lot of time, time not everyone has to spare.  It can used successfully for most businesses, but if you don't have a lot of time to spare, this may not be the method you choose.

It only takes a few minutes to write an article of 300 to 500 words.  It becomes a problem if you can't write.  If thios is the case with you, it is better not to use articles to market.

Hiring someone to write articles for you isn't always an option.  You must first find an author you can work with then find the money to pay them.  Most will seek immediate payment.  This may not be something you are prepared to provide.

If you are looking for ways to promote that cost little or nothing, you may try article marketing.  It has consistently proven itself as a very effective marketing strategy and shows no signs of that staus disappearing.

You can hire someone to write your articles and hire others to submit them for you.  If you have the money to do this, and it can be very affordable, then article marketing may be a good choice for you.

You won't know how successful you can be with submitting articles unless you at least try it.  Write an article.  The first ones always take more time but that changes with experience.  If the article is good you are on your way.

Now comes the submitting.  Try doing this yourself and see how it works.  Do you have the time it will take?  Are you willing to put in that much time?  If the answers are no, are you willing to pay a submission service to do this part for you?  The answers to this will help you decide if this method is for you.

Give article marketing a month trial.  Write and submit a weekly article during that time and see what happens.  By the time the month ends, you will have a good idea whether or not you want to continue with this endeavor.

Looking Good With Autoresponders

When someone sends an email, they would prefer to get an immediate response.  Although most responses take time, customers and potential buyers prefer to get their response immediately.  To give an immediate response to an email, you can use an autoresponder.  They are a great way to let someone know that you received their email, and that you are taking care of their request.  Autoresponder messages can be custom tailored, and look much better than simple thank you pages.

Some Internet marketers use their autoresponders to save themselves time and make their customers feel a bit more at ease until they get the time to handle the request or issue. If you set up your autoresponder in your email account, you’ll find that there are many advantages, although the biggest advantage is answering email questions and acting as tech support.

Your autoresponder can act as tech support for your business by answering any questions you receive via email.  To make this work smoother, you can always add answers as you go or just include the most common preset answers in your autoresponder.  If your website has a technical support page, you can include different addresses for each specific question.  When a customer emails the address, the autoresponder at the other end will automatically send them the answer.

Using an autoresponder to answer your email questions can drastically cut down the amount of emails that you need to answer.  Instead of having to wait on your response, your customer will get an instant reply.  Customers love to get instant replies, which is one of the main reasons why autoresponders are so popular with online businesses and Internet marketing.  If customers start to ask questions that your autoresponder isn’t set up for, you can easily add answers to it anytime you need to.

No matter what the question may be, you can use an autoresponder to answer it.  With most autoresponders, you simply type the answer to a question or other piece of information into a text file.  You can include an answer section on your website as well, where customers will ask their questions.  If you set it up so that it includes a mail form, you can add several pages to the answer section.  Once a customer sends the question, the autoresponder should immediately send them an answer.

For a growing Internet business, an autoresponder is a must have.  If you deal with a lot of customers, you’ll find this tool to be very beneficial.  No matter what type of company you may have online, an autoresponder will help you stand out in a crowd – and keep you looking good night and day.  When customers email you and get an immediate response – they won’t forget it.
