How to attract more readers to subscribe to your RSS feed?

25Nov2007 Filed under: Blogging Author: Kitkat

Should you want to join Kongtechnology.com, please read here.

I have put up my RSS feed subscription widget a few days now, but the number of subscriber is so pitiful… 1 person only! Can’t believe it, is it because my content is not attractive, which is not likely or because I am not a problogger *yet*?

Liucf has so many RSS subscribers… that’s got me envy!

Maybe I will get more readers if I put up more attractive pictures? How about the below picture for a start.

Anyway, I did a bit of touch up to the RSS subscription box. Put in more eye catchy colors and rearranged the buttons. Hopefully more readers will notice it and eventually subscribe. Just enter your email into the box and click on the “Subscribe” button. We will send you the latest posts on this blog through emails every morning… it’s that easy and convenient.

Alternatively, you can put my RSS link http://feeds.feedburner.com/kongtechnology in your RSS feed reader and subscribe.

Cheers! Let’s see the subscriber number increase multiple times!

You can try not being so lame. And by actually posting quality articles that people will want to read.

Or, alternatively, you can take the LiuCF method, and BE lame (and have absolutely no knowledge in technology), and people will endear you for being a ‘learner’

Actually, posting up your low subscriber count will discourage people from subscribing. My advice would be to remove it and put it back when you have 50 or more.

Thanks, brothers and sisters!
Seeing this lame post can generate 5 comments from you is a good achievement already… just like how Wong Mew Choo has finally captured a major open champion! Wahahaha…

As fore-mentioned, the advice of probloggers is to show ur number of subscribers when it reaches a comfortable amount, like 50. It’s part of human nature to be invious and it can help lead to a subscriber.

For example, you may have subscribed to LCF because he’s got so many subscribers you want to know why. Content still remains king but you’ll never be discovered if you don’t discover others as well.

I also think it’s also cause the blogosphere is too saturated with tech blogs. You need something different.

Danny Foo,
Yes, you are right. I think it’s very difficult to get traffic on a tech blog because there are too many out there!… Damn, I should have done a “what did I eat” blog… or maybe a “where to look for sex” blog. Wahaha…

How’s your iPhone?

Keeyit,
Have you subscribed to my RSS feed?

Without using Feedburner, is there anyway to check how many subscribers you have?
