Want to make money from your rss feeds?
Rss feeds have been the big thing for awhile. Most blogs have them. But a lot of people don't like them because they think they are stealing traffic from their ads.
But that's only if you do it the wrong way.
You have to put ads in the feeds. The easiest way to do this is just to make blog posts that are actually ads. Ok, some people might bitch about this. But tv and radio does it all the time. Movies have product placement so why shouldn't blogs? Chances are blogging costs you some money, or at least your time. You should get paid for it. You should at least get back the money you pay for hosting, if nothing else.
If you review cds, movies or anything else that amazon sells you should at sign up for their associate program. Everytime you mention that you liked last weeks Battlestar Galatica you should put a link in the post so people can buy it. The only problem is that you don't make much money from amazon sales. Over the past 5 years I think I've made about 100 dollars from them.
The advantage making blog posts with sales links is that it goes into your rss feed and people will see it however they might read your feed.
Another one that I use is feedburner.com. You can run your feed through them and it will ad links to amazon products to your rss, atom or whatever feed you use. You can also sign up for google ads for feeds, which will put google ads in the feed for you. You don't need any coding ability to do this.
There's another trick I use with feedburner, that's to put links to affiliate programs in my del.icio.us tags and then have feed burner add those to my feed.
