Convert RSS to Email Newsletters Automatically.
New Features - Tom Kulzer (AWeber CEO) - December 1st, 2005 - PermalinkWith the rise in usage of blogging and RSS it’s important to enable visitors to get updates in the format they want. According to an October 2005 White Paper published by Yahoo, “Awareness of RSS is quite low among Internet users. 12% of users are aware of RSS, and 4% have knowingly used RSS.”
How do you get website updates to visitors who have no idea what RSS is?
Easy…
Use AWeber’s new integrated Blog Broadcast tool to allow visitors to sign up for a traditional email newsletter on your blog or other website that uses RSS. The Blog Broadcast tool will take your RSS content that is published through your blog and automatically create an email newsletter sent to subscribers.
How Blog Broadcasts Work:
- Add the website address for your RSS feed to your Blog Broadcast.
- Select how many news/story items you would like to be in each newsletter broadcast.
- Select a pre-designed fancy HTML template and click “Load Template”.
- Edit the template that is loaded automatically or use as is.
Within one hour AWeber will automatically grab the available RSS content from your feed and queue that content as a new broadcast in review status. You can choose to send those broadcasts or delete them. From that point forward newsletter broadcasts would be sent out to any subscriber on the list automatically when a new story is detected.
