Blogging + RSS is interesting. Blogging - RSS isn't as much, because you need to get people to come back over and over again. And there isn't a lot of consumer adoption for RSS. "Publishing" isn't enough any more because it assumes that distribution is built in, when it just isn't.
I made my blog -- http://nowiknow.com http://nowiknow.com -- into an email newsletter for this very reason. Two+ years in I'm at 80,000 subscribers. It's doable.
- dshipper 14y agoI'm actually a subscriber! How did you get readers? Just by word of mouth? And do you think it can be as successful if you only send the email once every two weeks or so? Or does it have to be an every day thing?
- DanLivesHere 14y agoHas to be an every day thing. New readers.. it's a mixed bag. Word of mouth, content shares, cross-promos, etc. (And thanks for reading!)
- dshipper 14y agoThanks for writing! Sorry to keep asking questions, but why does it have to be any every day thing? At least for me, the quality of the content goes down significantly if I have to do it any more than once every couple of weeks. Really impressed that you're able to keep it up :)
