Repurposing Your Blog’s RSS Feed
Posted on October 17, 2007
What’s this? smart.gooruze.com (read on to learn the specifics of this marketing technique)
I’ve been out of the loop for the last few months as many of my regular readers know. Working on other projects and not wanting to fill up the world wide web with unnecessary ramblings.
Today I want to share an internet marketing strategy that I initially wrote about in Stampede Secret 2.0, and now hear other trainers teaching (which I’m happy about because this is an elegant way for savvy marketers to drive traffic and increase brand awareness within their target markets).
As an aside, I took the Stampede Secret 2.0 package off the market a few months back when I picked up a demanding corporate assignment and couldn’t focus on the marketing or personalized attention some of my users required. However after receiving many email requests for the course I edited the book (with a stronger focus for niche marketers), and have just today put the ebook back for sale at a price more people could afford. (see http://www.stampedesecret.com/web20/guide for more details).
Back to the original reason for this post…
Andy Beard wrote about this today (gooruze.com) and touched on the technique I shared with marketers earlier this year - repurposing your blog’s rss feed on Web 2.0 enabled sites. I first discovered this on the very busy PlugIM website, but then on Squidoo, then on BlinkBits and now (via Andy’s direction - Gooruze Preview).
Of course there are countless other places to repurpose your content (without penalty and niche market specific) and drive traffic to your website - those are just some of my favorites, internet marketing related.
If Gooruze looks to be up your alley, sign up, add your blog’s feed to your profile (and your photo of course), and be eligible to win $10,000 in Adwords clicks during this early-launch phase. And while you’re there, take a page out of Andy’s power user idea - add your StumbleUpon feed to your profile as well! (A link to it is found in your StumbleUpon user page - lower left orange RSS icon).
Drop me a line and let me know your results in 30 days or so!

I have also now done some playing around with the interface and added a more “marketing focused” profile.
I have written an article about that on Gooruze though for some reason the benefit didn’t really grab the site owners.
I still need to do a second update to my preview article.
This is certainly creating such a buzz. I’ve yet to try it for myself, but it looks promising. Thanks for this!
