RSS...a Really Simple Guide to Understanding Really Simple Syndication

Have you seen that little orange or blue RSS button around the Internet and wondered what the heck it's for?

Basically, it's a way for you to get information you WANT delivered directly to your desktop...without giving anyone your email address...with giving any personal details... or without whitelisting or sorting through the junk currently cluttering your inbox.

Whether you realize it or not...there's a good chance that even the email you want is NOT getting delivered to you. Why? Because of aggressive email filters.

RSS simply means "Really Simple Syndication". It gives YOU...the reader...complete control. Get news feeds from around the world, stay up-to-date with the latest tech updates, market trends, just about anything else that interests you.

Hate keeping track of bookmarks? Try RSS instead!

It's super simple to subscribe and unsubscribe, too, all with a simple click of a button. What could be easier?

Many believe RSS will replace email newsletters and e-zines. I think it's too early to predict, but RSS might just be a way for legitimate newsletter publishers to distinguish themselves from slimy spammers...

...could RSS mean the END of spam!?

Is RSS for you?

If you are someone who...

  • Subscribes to newsletters and courses...and are fed up with sorting through spam to get the email you want

  • Publishes a newsletter, but...more and more, finds it difficult to get your mail delivered to your subscribers

  • Needs fresh content for your website to keep the search engines coming back

  • Needs better search engine rankings...

  • Likes to know when your favorite Blogs (web logs) are updated, or publishes a Blog

  • Runs specials or promotions

...give RSS a whirl.

Here's how to get started...

First, you're going to need an RSS reader — software that can read the RSS feed URL that you paste into it. RSS readers are also called "RSS aggregators" or "news aggregators".

If you don't want to download and install an RSS reader, click one of these icons for quick and easy start-up.

My.Yahoo.com or My.MSN.com or Add to Google.com


Each is simple to use... easy to setup.

You have many RSS readers to choose from. Don't worry...they're free. Here's a list of a few popular ones...

Windows Users

Mac Users

The RSS reader should be fast and simple to download, install, and add feeds. If it's not, move on.

Once you get set-up, all you need to do is...

Right-click (control-click for Mac) on any RSS button on a website, Blog or other source that interests you.

Select Copy Shortcut (Copy Link to Clipboard for Mac) and paste that URL into your RSS reader.
