RSS feeds are a simple and widely available tool that can save you time, increase your visibility, and improve your productivity.<\/p>\n

RSS feeds often the simplest way to automate your marketing. If you\u2019re a podcaster, blogger, or journalist you likely have one. If you\u2019re not using it, you\u2019re missing out on a huge opportunity.<\/p>\n

Anyone can take advantage of RSS feeds \u2014 from business owners and managers to marketing managers and researchers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll cover what exactly RSS feeds are. Plus, get 3 examples of how you can implement RSS feeds today to save time tomorrow (and improve the way you do marketing).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Essentially, an RSS feed is an XML text file<\/a>, created by a website, blog, or podcast publisher. It includes a list of content updated in real time, with the most recently published content at the top.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Each new entry on an RSS feed can include things like the title, image, description, link, and audio link \u2014 as well as other relevant information.<\/p>\n

You can get the most recent information from any RSS feed by subscribing to it. Want to see what your blog or podcast\u2019s feed looks like? Plug it into an RSS reader, like Feedly<\/a> or Feeder<\/a> (both have free plans).<\/p>\n

Types of RSS feeds<\/h2>\n

Subscribers to an RSS feed are probably superfans \u2014 they don\u2019t want to miss a thing from that source. If you wanted to create a list of only the blogs, podcasts, and news articles from sources you already like \u2014 you can.<\/p>\n

Here are a few examples of the types of feeds you might want to subscribe to.<\/p>\n

Blog post RSS feeds<\/h3>\n

A blog post\u2019s RSS feed allows readers to stay up-to-date on the most recent posts. Anyone can subscribe to everything on the blog, or just one category.<\/p>\n

For example, here\u2019s the RSS feed for the tech news company FastCompany\u2019s Work Life<\/em> category (\u201cfastcompany.com\/work-life\/rss<\/strong>\u201d).<\/p>\n
