Increase Your RSS Subscribers

New bloggers always have several questions in mind. If you are one of them, then, I am sure that the first thing that hit your mind was how to get traffic to your blog.

You can get traffic through search engines, pay-per-click advertisements, backlinks and so on.

Good content will always bring good amount of traffic but it is never enough. A mediocre blog will have limited or certain amount of traffic through search engines and backlinks.

A blog is created for a purpose and for a certain group of audience. Search engine may bring you 1000 unique visitors but is that it? Are all of these visitors interested in your stuff? Well we can’t say that.

RSS subscribers are the best because they visit your blog whenever you update or write a new post. People subscribe to your blog because they want to learn from you and are interested in stuffs that you talk about. There are a number of ways you can go about pulling in more traffic and gaining influence with your readership and RSS is one of the best ways to do this.

Here are the top 4 winning tips on getting RSS subscribers for your blog

1. First, the most important, a lot of bloggers forget to put up the RSS sign up prompt or the icon in their blogs. I have noticed that most are concerned with ad blocks instead of RSS which is more important. Monetizing should come later and instead of putting up advertisements, you should put up RSS icons in the most appropriate and noticeable places. If you want your readers to know that the RSS option is available then simply stick it at the top of your pages.

2. You can put up several RSS images on your blog. People say that a picture is worth a thousand words. You can fill up your blog with tons of rss icons and images but don’t go crazy over it because too much of it can ruin the layout or make it annoying. But, instead of putting up weird ads and other junk, I would prefer to stick up the rss button where ever possible. Just Google for rss buttons and icons and you will find several decent ones that you can use.

3. What the heck is RSS? I was a newbie someday and so were other bloggers. Unless you are writing for a really popular blog, the fact is that a lot of people do not anything about RSS. Some people might click on it and leave; you have no idea how many subscribers you can lose that way every day. I am about to write a short RSS tutorial and put it on a noticeable area on my blogs especially beside or below the RSS button and you should do it too. There is no point sticking up the RSS button just like you stick up advertisements and other junks. You need to prove it to your readers and provide reasons why they should subscribe to your blog.  You can write a short post explaining the concept of RSS which will not only build up your rep but also will show that your care for your readers.

4. Include your feed where ever possible. There are so many places where you can leave your feed address. Your blog shouldn’t be the only place where you put up RSS buttons. If you are an active forum member then try including your feed in your signature. If you have a newsletter then include your feed in every email newsletter you send out. Have you heard about web2.0 properties? I am sure you have created hubpages, ezines, wetpaint and such. You can include your feed in all these pages. Believe me, these methods will maximize exposure of your rss and blog and will dramatically increase your subscribers. I write stuff based on experiences and I hope you follow it to succeed.

I hope that the above tips help you on your quest to build the ultimate RSS readers list. If you have any questions or suggestions then feel free to express your thoughts through comments. You should also check out 7 Tips To Convert One Time Visitors to Subscribers

Tweet by Voice

TweetCall is a new service which was introduced in the mid 2009. Although I have discovered it recently and I believe a lot of people are unaware of it, I think it’s a good find and worth sharing.

TweetCall allows a user to dial a toll-free number 1-877-TWEETCALL (893-3822), which is easy to remember and speak their tweets instead of typing it out. The tweet is then transcribed and uploaded to Twitter.

I know that it is not difficult to type out 140 characters but there are people who don’t have the patience or time to do that. Tweetcall is also the perfect solution for those who are on the go. TweetCall also makes it easier and safer to tweet while driving.

If you are wondering how TweetCall can keep up with accuracy; it is powered by Quicktate’s top accurate transcription service which uses humans to manually proofread all messages before they are submitted.

Although most people will still tweet the old way, you can still use this service completely free of charge. The speed and simplicity of dialing a toll free will result is more tweets in less time.

How hard can it be to speed-dial TweetCall?

There is another service called Call-n-Tweet from Kirusa which is a world leading provider of Voice SMS and other voice messaging services. You can use Call-n-Tweet to record any voice message and share it with your Twitter followers. You can learn more about it here at Call-n-tweet. However, I still prefer TweetCall personally when it comes to voice.

Next time you are driving and want to make a tweet, make use of TweetCall and stay safe Check Out Related Posts:

4 Important Rules When Using Wordpress

Wordpress is the best CMS so far without doubt. If you are a blogger or an affiliate marketer then you should use WordPress. But hold it there and don’t get excited yet; before you use WordPress, you need to know my 4 important rules in order to make wordpress work better for you.

The 4 Important Rules

Rule # 1

Choose the best web host for hosting your blog. This is so important that without this you can’t go ahead. I know several new bloggers who come up to me and say that they have found some good “FREE” hosting and they are satisfied with it. If you are choosing a web host for your blog, then think wisely. Free hosts are never reliable and none knows better than me. I have tried several. As a matter of fact, I have also tried some cheap ones where I paid only $10-$20 for a whole year. I guess that was my biggest mistake. The servers were messed up and most of the time it was offline. The support kept emailing me saying that they were changing to a new server and so on and it never worked out. Now who would want to deal with such crap and waste time.

If you are serious about your business then be prepared to invest some money into it. Most budget hosts are often run by college kids or inexperienced people who purchase reseller account and then sell it off to others to make some pretty cash. Now imagine, if that guy stops paying his bill for the reseller, your site goes down the drain. I am sure you are not willing to sacrifice all the content and database which took you several days and months to build.

Now think about this and make the right choice. Go with the best and reputed hosting company that has various options. You will be able to upgrade to a better package to deal with your massive traffic when you make it big. I am sure that day is near.

Rule # 2

Plugins! You love them don’t you! There are tons of plugins that will grab your attention but stop right there. You don’t want to install every single plugin you like or see around. Some plugins can screw up your server and mess up your blog.

If you are not sure what plugins you should install for your blog then ask an expert or check out reviews. I have had bad experience with some of them previously and I have learnt from my mistakes. Just because I know a little bit of coding and able to deal with such situation, I pulled it off.

Although I have posted a list of the best plugins on my personal blog, I am compiling another list where I will include some of the best and newest ones and hope you guys find it handy.

Rule # 3

Back Up your database every day. Make this a habit. Now if you are thinking that logging into your php admin and exporting files everyday is hectic then guess what, you are still living in the 80s. You have plugins to help you do that. Wordpress is just sweet. There are so many useful plugins that automate multiple things in wordpress and make your life easier. I don’t know what I would have done without them.

The hosting company backs up your database most of the time. But, even if they don’t, you have plugins to do it for you. Schedule it to back up every 6 hours if you have lots of thing going or just do it once every day.

Back Up – Back Up – Back Up . . . I guess it is stuck in your mind right now!

Rule # 4

DO NOT Go for the Automatic Upgrade option for the Wordpress plugins. I know it is tempting but staying away from it can be beneficial. Some of them can be really dangerous as it might not be supported by the wordpress version you are using although, I believe that the latest wordpress 2.9 supports almost all the plugins but, you can never be so sure. Besides, you don’t need the automatic upgrade option. You can manually do that once you find out that it is compatible with your version.

Remove any automatic upgrade plugins you have installed . . . they can be detrimental for your blog!

I hope you follow all these 4 important rules because they will make your life easier.

Have pleasant experience with Wordpress

15 Steps to Improve Your Blogging

It is very important to keep up with your blog and the truth is that there is always some space for improvement. As a blogger, you need to know what your audience is looking for and you should be willing to implement that in your blog.

You should always scan your blog, find the glitches and fix it before you get dragged into failure. If you love your blog, get prepared to work hard for it.

Check out the following list of tips that I have developed by doing stuffs on my own blog:

1. First, the most important part of your blog is the content. You need to continuously update your blog with fresh and original content so that your readers have a reason to visit your blog frequently. This part is very important and ignoring this can be detrimental to your blog.

2. Scan through your blog once again and analyze it; find any unnecessary plugins and widgets and remove them right away. Keep your sidebar clean and relevant. People don’t want to see piled up junks and adverts all the way. Irrelevant and unnecessary widgets not only slow down your blog’s speed but also divert the focus off your content.

3. Make sure you don’t have any weird and huge flash images or videos that take up huge space and are not at all required or necessary for your blog. From my experience, I realized that readers love clean and straight to the point blogs.

4. Format your content so that it is user friendly and blends smoothly with the blog’s layout

5. A lot of blogs lose their reputation because of bad posts and grammatical errors. Before submitting any posts, make sure you scan through every word and run a spell and grammar check. Ignoring this can mess up your reputation and credibility.

6. Add relevant images wherever you think it is applicable. Do not add huge images or videos that will slow down your blog. The new WordPress 2.9 has the option to edit an image within the platform so make sure you resize it to fit the screen.

7. The font used in your post should be bright and visible (should not hurt the eyes). This is very important and should not be ignored because if your fonts are not user friendly or clear enough then you will lose a massive number of readers.

8. Include an archive section so that your readers can easily navigate and browse your older posts. This will also enable the search engines to index your posts much quicker.

9. Include a related post widget or create a map to make navigation through various posts easier.

10. If you are using or posting other peoples stuff then make sure you add a copyright note and give them credit. If you don’t, there are chances that your will get screwed up and your reputation will go down the drain.

11. Internal linkup can be very helpful in terms of SEO. Add internal links within your posts wherever it is relevant. This helps you promote your older posts and gets your reader’s attention.

12. Create a favicon for your blog. It is obvious that the new bloggers do not know the importance of it at first but remember that a favicon is a great method to differentiate your blog with the rest in the blogosphere. It is very appealing and gives your blog a unique identity. You can easily create a favicon by visiting favicon.cc

13. Design and layout plays an important role for a successful blog. Choose your theme wisely and keep it clean. Themes are very important so make sure you chose the right one that caters to your niche.

14. Contact forms should be simple and easy. Do not add lots of unnecessary fields. The purpose of blogging is to establish a connection and a dialogue with your readers so keep it straight to the point.

15. Last but not the least; use your blog domain email address whenever possible because this will give you much more credibility over the free emails.

To wrap this up, go through all these fifteen points once a while and make sure that your blog is tip top. Scan through your posts regularly and remove any errors if you find any. Keep your blog up to date. And remember, being a blogger takes much more than being an author or writer because in blogging, you not only focus in your writing but also your audience. You are here to create a dialogue with your readers so always do the best to help them out and listen to them. This is the number one rule for me and many bloggers out there.

Future of Twitter

Twitter has changed so much since they started in early 2006. It was not much different than a “facebook status” thing. All you do is just update your status and that’s it—well that’s what I thought at first when one of my friends introduced me to twitter in the early 2008.

Twitter is the largest and most popular social networking platform today and it has done so much. When people realized its potential, they started taking it seriously. And of course, when things get popular people start misusing it. A lot of spammers took advantage of twitter for mass spamming affiliate links and other B/S.

You can’t eliminate spam forever but twitter has taken drastic steps to overcome this problem. Now how do I know this? Well, I have done my research and found out about it. So lets see what twitter has done so far:

Moderating Spam

Twitter Spam

Recently, I opened a new account to test this out. What I did was, created a brand new account, updated the bio and also tweeted a few links. Later, I started mass following 500+ people to get some followers in return. Things were ok so far but Alas! In the next hour, the account was suspended “due to strange activity”—that’s what it says although I didn’t see anything strange happening . What impressed me was that they were fast–really fast.

Twitter allows you to follow less than 1000 people in 24 hours but in this case, it didn’t work out that way. Well maybe if I used a proxy and tweeted some valid and useful links this wouldn’t have happened. But, the main point is that twitter is working hard to control spam.

Introduction of the List

Twitter List

The “list” was introduced in the last few months.  Although, I do not use this feature that often but it seems like that a lot of people found it useful. The “list” feature allows you to categorize your friends and followers on twitter. This helps in being organized; it also improves communication because you do not have to waste so much time going through all your followers to find a particular someone you want to connect with. You can easily put him in a list and Walla!

Trending Topics

Trending Topics

The trending topic on twitter is also a cool feature. Now you can find out what’s happening in your area. It is fairly new so it doesn’t include all the cities and countries yet but, twitter is definitely working on it. I found this pretty cool since it is easy, simple and displays on the right side of the page (sidebar).

Twitter is about following and followers but mass following random people makes no sense to me. If you are interested in video games and follow people who are into something else and has no interest in your stuff then you are probably just wasting your time. So instead, find people who are interested in you and start interacting.

Browse Suggestions & Follow Like-Minded People

Browse Suggestions

Twitter has introduced another feature that will help you to find people in your niche and communicate with them.  You can browse suggestions and topics and see what people are talking about. You can also find people in your area. If you are interested in a certain group then you can start following and building up your list. It is that simple now

Future of Twitter

What Can We Expect From Twitter In The Future

First, twitter should give us the option to mass delete the Direct Messages (DM). I am sure there are lots of twitter tools that can do that but I want to see this feature in twitter itself so I think they will definitely come out with a solution to this.

Next, they “might” increase the character limit for the bio and the tweet section. I don’t know if this is going to work because I am happy with 140 characters but a lot of people find it insufficient. We shall see if twitter takes this into consideration.

Twitter will do its best to survive in the digital world and we can expect a lot from it. Let me know what else you want to see in twitter. Now go ahead and start spreading knowledge.

Proven Ways to Get Retweeted on Twitter

People who constantly talk about themselves or are involved in self promotion do not make many friends. The same logic can be applied to twitter. Twitter is a social media platform which connects millions of people together.

When tweeting, you should bear a few things in mind: be careful with your punctuations, do not self promote, use proper and better link shorteners, avoid idle chats, be involved with the community and keep it simple.

I have elaborated my points below and hope you all find it useful.

1. Use the Best Link Shortener

There are many link shorteners these days such as bit.ly, ow.ly which are used more often and are considered legit when compared to the tinyurls. I don’t know whats up with tiny but I noticed that people don’t like it much. I prefer ow.ly as it is much shorter than other long services and is backed up by hootsuite. Using the right link up is important.

2. Request For a ReTweet

If you think that requesting or asking people for a retweet is considered a spam then think again because you are wrong. Several researches proved that words such as “Please ReTweet” are often the most retweetable words along with “Check Out” and my favorite “New Blog Post”.

Most ReTweetable Words: Twitter, Please, ReTweet, Post, Blog, Social, Free, Media, Help, Follow, Great, 10, Free

3. Cut the Crap in Your Chit-Chat

Twitter is a powerful social media platform and not your personal online journal where you can jot down almost everything you do in a day. Now let’s face it, people do not want to know about your daily life such as your sleeping time, watching TV or what is your girl friend up to. Of course unless you are Kim Kardashian *drool* or someone famous.

Note: According to a research, verbs ending in “ing” are least retweeted words such as going, watching etc. Well unless it is really interesting

Least ReTweetable Words: lol, Haha, Game, Going, Tired, Home, Night, Bed, Hey, Tomorrow, Today, Some, Sleep, Back, Gonna, Bye

4. Break News

This is very simple. Original stuff is always appreciated and enjoyed; it is considered more popular because we all are hungry for new stuffs. We want to see or read something new and that is why original content is most likely to get retweeted.

5. Limit Punctuation and Say NO to Semicolons

I personally use several form of punctuation in my tweets but I have learnt it to do it right. Almost 97% of ReTweets contain punctuation such as colons, commas, exclamation and question marks. I am not saying that you can’t use punctuation at all but you should limit it and say no to semicolons as it is the only “unretweetable punctuation mark”.

6. Keep Your Emotion to Yourself

Nobody on twitter has time to listen and promote your crap such as stupid, negative feelings and thoughts. Twitter is about sharing knowledge: Tweets about your work, media, money, finance, How-To, celebrities are much more popular and are more retweetable than the other weird tweets concerning negative feelings, swear words and self promotion.

7. Tweet at the Right Time

Tweeting at the right time can get tons of retweets. Now think about this: when you are analyzing the twitter market and the followers, you should find out the best time to get your tweet across. For example: Tweets at 4-5 pm on Fridays are more likely to get retweeted. Tweeting on Sundays might not be that affective as most of us spend time with our family. Now you do the math and the calculations. Keep it neat and simple.

Feel free to share your thoughts. Last but not the least, I would like to thank viral marketing scientist Dan Zarella who has done an amazing job and has contributed to my list.Check Out Related Posts:

YouTube Marketing Tips

YouTube Marketing is a popular subject to talk about. I have been promoting and broadcasting my sites on YouTube for a while now. You have no idea how much you can make from YouTube if you can provide informative content and gain loyal subscribers.

If you plan on starting a brand or want to promote your current one then you must include YouTube Marketing in your top list. I am working on a report as well as a step by step video which will talk about successful YouTube marketing in depth.

Today, I am providing my top and most successful video marketing tips for anyone who is new in this field. I hope you find it useful.

Top Five YouTube Marketing Tips

1.  Keep it Short and Simple

First of all, YouTube is a not used for dumping massive files. The size of the video files you can upload to YouTube is quite limited so you must keep it simple and short. Most of the visitors do not check out long and boring videos so I suggest that you do not go over 5-6 minutes. If you know your niche well, 5 minutes is a good deal; make sure you include all the important details. However, if you have a video that needs to be longer then you can simply break them into smaller segments and then upload it separately.

2.  Keep it Relevant to The Topic

For creating a successful YouTube video for marketing, you must make sure that your video clips are relevant to your niche or topic. People are constantly searching for information and videos related to your niche so make sure that you are covering your topics in your videos and include all the necessary details. A YouTube channel should focus on one niche or topic. If you want to create something on another niche then it is better that you create another channel.

For example: A music channel should have everything related to music while a money making channel should have every videos related to money making.

3.  Brand Your Content and Videos

If you are the original creator of the content then you should brand it with your name and logo along with a link to your website. Branding is very important because it gives you the credibility. On top of that, if your videos provide value then tons of visitors will share them with others. In this way, if your video is posted or uploaded elsewhere, you will still get the credit and traffic because of your branding.

There are several good tools that can help you do mark your content.

4.  Use Humor in Your Videos

Check out some of the funny videos on YouTube. Have you ever wondered why they receive tons of traffic every day? People love humor; we all love to laugh. Humor is also one of the best methods for attracting audience or a targeted group. There are several popular YouTube channels that have spread their messages across using humor in their videos. If your videos are not interesting, there is no point in checking them out. Be real and make a difference.

5.  Promote Your Videos

Now the most important part: marketing and promoting your videos. Your videos will never get seen if you don’t promote them well. Of course, unless you are a celebrity or a hotshot, in that case it’s totally different. There are multiple ways of promoting your content. First, you can email your friends and subscribers and tell them about it. You can also create several web 2.0 properties such as Squidoo, Hubpages, Weebly and include your videos in them. Get a twitter account and a facebook fan page, do ppc, email marketing, forum and blog posting and many more. I can name tons of methods but I hope you got the point.

Always maintain quality and consistency in your work and content. Do researches about certain methods of marketing before you actually implement them. I will be providing more tips on YouTube video marketing since it’s a popular subject. Go and start making your videos, Good luck Check Out Related Posts:

Post Longer Than 140 Characters Tweets on Twitter

A lot of people find it very difficult to express their thoughts or share a view on twitter due to their character limits. To be honest, I can make the most out of 140 characters; maybe because I have been on this thing for a while or maybe I know too much J.

If 140 characters are not enough then you should consider the twitter tools below. I have compiled a small list of powerful tools that will allow you to post longer tweets. I hope you find them useful.

Tools That Let You Post Longer Tweets:

Twitlonger-  This tool will allow you to sign up using the Twitter OAuth and thus you will be able to post longer tweets on Twitter. All you have to do is just login and you will be given a huge text area to write your tweet. What it does is, it will post your tweet with a link to it to view the entire text. Pretty sick isn’t it…

TweetCut- This tool doesn’t give you extra space or characters but it shortens your tweet by using available and common abbreviations and thus making your tweets shorter so you can add more lines..

RichTweets- One of my favorites. This tool allows you to create full HTML Tweets with colors, images, videos and widgets. You can connect it with your twitter account and when you post it here, it automatically gets posted on your twitter account.  YouTube videos can be easily added and alternately, you can embed other videos by simply inputting the full code in the video embed box. You can use it as another twitter manager such as hootsuite, tweetdeck etc. This is a good find.

XLTweet- When you have more to say but limited space, just XL tweet it. This tool is quite easy to use and comes in handy when you want to post longer tweets. Simply type in the text, provide your Twitter account details and bingo!!

MaxiTweets- It allows up to 200 characters long tweets, which is an increase of nearly 50%. They have opened up several new possibilities for the fast growing Twitter communications platform.  So get more out of Twitter now with maxitweets: up to 200 letters.

TwerBose- It is a simple web application that allows you to post huge tweets via the Twitter API. All you have to do is write your long tweets and post it; the tool will shrink it down and post it to your twitter stream. Best part is that your followers and people will be able to comment on your tweets and also share it with their friends, amazing!!

ezTweets- This one lets you post both of Twitter and Facebook. With ezTweets you can write big-ass posts. It simply takes your longer tweets (more than 140 characters long) and split them neatly, marks the tweet in a sequential manner and posts them to your Twitter timeline all at once. Best part, there is no characters limit…

JumboTweet- Jumbo is a Hippo and it helps Twitter post larger tweets between users. Jumbo lets you write longer post messages, and engage in more meaningful interactions on Twitter.

Know your Twitter Limits

When you are twittering at first, you might have no idea what is going on. Although, twitter seems easy, a lot of newbie don’t understand how it works. Twitter is an elite micro-blogging platform where you can write anything in 140 characters or less. Many of you may think that it is difficult to say or write something which is of 140 characters or less but believe me, you can do a lot with it. Twitter is one of the top and most reputable social networking and marketing tool because of the valuable and potential followers who could listen to whatever you have to say.

A lot of people take twitter for granted and use it for spamming with their affiliate links. If you are doing this then please stop it right away because this system will never work. Provide value to your followers and review services and products for them; this can eventually make you money.

An interesting fact is that a lot of people are making money off twitter by selling stuffs to people who have no idea about it because they are simply participating in a discussion which lead them to buying a product online. Now, there is nothing wrong by making money from your followers. For example, if someone wants to start blogging and is looking for a good hosting, he or she will go online and try to find reviews of several hosting before deciding on which one to purchase. The person might also get in a hosting discussion on twitter. If you can review a hosting and give this person the best deal, he or she will end up buying it and thus make you money. You are not cheating anyone here but providing a valuable review and making money with the hosting affiliate program while the person pays the same hosting fees or less. Now, that’s a good deal.

If you really want to make some money online and think that you do not have enough time for a social media tool with 140 characters or less, you are simply leaving a lot of money on the table.

Follow and Be Followed

Twitter works best when you follow someone you are interested to connect with or learn from. First thing first, you should get a good custom twitter background created. Backgrounds are really important because they make the profile look good. Then, you must setup your bio and your picture. Make sure you are creative so that your bio attracts other like-minded followers. Most of the time when you follow someone, he or she follows you back. This is a great way to increase your followers count and learn from each other. Unless you are a celeb or someone famous, you can’t expect people to just follow you. Following and being followed is a good strategy in this case. Make sure you converse with your followers and keep them in the loop.

Now you don’t have to follow every single person in the twitterverse because lately, twitter spam has been going on so you should be a little careful when deciding whom to follow or not because spammers get ignored right away.

Advantages from Twitter Tools

Twitter is so simple that when I find out about it, it seemed to me just like a facebook status thing. All you do is just update your status all the time. But, just because twitter is so simple, there are a lot of twitter tools that have been created to enhance twitter experience.

I have compiled a few lists on twitter tools;

• Twitter Applications You Will Ever Need- Part 1

Reciprocity is the Key to Success

You need to be positive and provide value in order to gain benefits from it. When you find your tweple or a twitter group to follow, you should be prepared to communicate with them and provide value. You should prove yourself to others and give them a valid reason to follow you.

Once you establish yourself on twitter, people will be interested to check out your stuffs, links and what you have to say. Always remember, you get treated the same way you treat others and this rule is applied in the twitterverse.
