In the article I wrote 2 days ago for our series “Building A More Successful Blog in 30 Days,” I gave you some tips on how to increase your RSS subscribers.

Increasing your subscribers is great, especially to give people reason to advertise on your blog, but RSS feeds are limited on how you can monetize them.

And while most of your successful monetization comes from within the post itself, there is usually some good money to be made with the ads on your blog.

So now that you’ve built your RSS subscriber count, how do you get those subscribers to visit your blog?

Feedburner FeedFlare

Most bloggers intent on becoming successful, and all the successful bloggers use Feedburner for their RSS feeds.  Not only does Feedburner help you easily keep track of how many readers are subscribed, it offers many other services that will help make blogging and tracking anything related to your feeds, much easier.

One such service is called Feedflare.

With Feedflare, you can add different options for the reader to do when they’re finished reading your post.  One such option is the comment count.

It will show how many comments that particular article has received.  And if your reader is interested in the post, and notices there are comments, they will most likely click through to your blog to read what others had to say.

Create A Conversation

A blog is much more than a one sided story.  Which is why it’s become more popular over other media services such as newspapers, static websites, etc.

Readers want to give you their thoughts and feedback as well as read what others thoughts are.

Your blog should be a conversation, and the best way to create a conversation is to ask readers to comment.

You don’t have to directly tell them to leave a comment.  You can ask them a question for instance.  As long as it’s not a yes or no question, readers will generally be inclined to comment.  You can also offer a reward or incentive for commentators.

People tend to enjoy listening to themselves speak, and encouraging them to do so, will not only increase your comments, but it will keep them coming back for more.

RSS readers have to visit your blog in order to leave a comment, which in turn accomplishes our goal.

Embed Videos

Your RSS readers cannot view embedded video in your RSS feed.  It simply won’t show up.  In order for them to view an imbedded video, they have to click through to your blog.

It helps if just below the video you add something that tells the reader there is a video here and if you click this link you can view it.

If you don’t include that link below the video, some RSS readers won’t even realize a video exists within the post, and they won’t visit your blog.

Deep-linking

Deep-linking is nothing more than linking to older posts from within your post.

By referring back to older posts that the reader hasn’t had a chance to read you also increase your search engine optimization strategy and create what’s called a sticky post.

You can read more about making your blog sticky here.

Your RSS readers can’t read the deep-linked posts in their feed reader, so they naturally have to click through to your blog in order to read it.

Then if they enjoy the post, they may leave a comment, which again encourages other RSS readers to visit your blog as well.

Everything relates to the other, and when used all in conjunction, it makes for a very powerful argument to visit your blog.
