What Is An RSS Feed?

Hello Fellow MLM'ers and Affiliates,

I'd like to share something that perplexed me when I began to work online. You know those finer "tekkie" points that snag newbies? Well, you know..., the big guys who've been doing this stuff for a while, it's no big deal to them.

But ask someone who's decided to work the business opportunity in an MLM (and they want to go online but might be forbidden to do so). They're caught learning a lot of stuff from scratch or they may be at the mercy of hunting and pecking for help (kinda like I was). Or ..., ask a new affiliate marketer to map out their first month of marketing activity! It's nearly impossible if you're starting your business from scratch.

So I'll cover a small point which confused me.

You'll see these everywhere.


RSS Feeds

What is this thing?

Ask a "tekkie" and they'll either tell you or they won't..., but let's hope they'll answer your question straight-up. If you've heard this saying before, there are no stupid questions but there can be poor answers. It's always up to a teacher, an upline or a mentor to make things clear.

By intuitive definition, here's what it is (so you can correct me if I'm still off-base):

RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication", and it's used to describe a technology used in several formats but this technology creates feeds to help you follow news and other interesting tidbits. Now if that's still as clear as mud, an RSS feed can be understood by hitting your help function. If that doesn't work, a feed is a way to read content online without having to log back into a site or a blog. You can either track your own content or you can subscribe to someone else's feed. To do that, you just hit subscribe to feed...and wha-la! It pops up in your mailbox. You have to look at the column inside of your e-mail to read these feeds. I'm giving you the definition as I intuitively know it, without getting into precise terms.

Basically, feeds allow you to not only save time but they can simplify your online navigations.

What a Feed Can Do For You

It can help you connect things together. If you plan to create your own website or blog and more, the feed is one way of putting yourself out there (in cyberspace)...say..., in one fell swoop. But, it's also helpful when you want people to see what you're writing. Hope this makes a little bit of sense. If you're wondering how that's going to help you find more leads or close more folks, well...let's just say that everything I publish has a decent purpose.
