You will be aware if you have read other posts on my blog that I have a lot of respect for what Yaro Starek teaches but I am not always aware of all the side projects he has, especially those for beginners as I don’t need that information so much now.

While I was reading the Clickbank blog yesterday though, I came across a post suggesting Clickbank publishers to use a blog for their pitch page and I was curious enough to take a look. What I discovered is a great site from Gideon Shalwick and Yaro Starek with free videos you can watch that lead you through the process of getting a WordPress blog set up for the first time.

The videos are high quality and answer many questions that someone new to the process will ask.

It is the very last video in the series however that I want to talk about today.

How to Set Up Feedburner To Handle Email Subscriptions To Your Blog.

The last video is about using feedburner to handle email subscriptions to your blog. WordPress comes ready made with a RSS feed and people who know what these are, have no difficulty using the icon in the address bar to add a blogs RSS feed to their reader.

For those people who haven’t explored RSS however, its a murky area they are perhaps unsure of,  so head on over there if that’s you – because RSS is a valuable tool for promoting and bringing the message of your posts to your readers with a minimum of fuss.

The ability to get updates from your blog is the best type of automatic delivery you can have. It can be set to deliver after each post, or weekly or monthly, whatever suits you best. For people who don’t have time to actively promote to a list, broadcasting your RSS feed via email to subscribers is a steady reminder to them of your blogs presence and an invitation to come back and read some more good information from you.

You can do this via aweber using the blog broadcast feature or you can use feedburner. I have not yet used feedburner so I was interested to see what you can do with it . It was impressively easy and it has some cool features that will make your message look professional, clean and modern.

Using a text widget you can enter the subscribe code for RSS readers or email subscriptions easily to your WordPress blog’s sidebar. You can also customize the message they receive on subscription easily so they know that everything happened correctly. Last, within the interface of feedburner, you can get statistics about your subscribers.

So if RSS is something you have heard about but have not thought about, now might be the time to learn to make the most of it. Also if you are new to WordPress and need information on how to set up your own hosted version of it the former videos will be very useful to you.
