I have entered Daily Blog tips competition for increasing RSS subscribers.
I decided to choose my economics blog - economics help.
I may regret choosing that blog because:
- It’s my only blog on blogger (inferior to wordpress)
- June / July has seen a significant dip in traffic due to the end of the academic year.
- I may have had more success with a niche on blogging. People interested in economics do not necessarily know what RSS are
However, the strengths of the blog include:
- Reasonable traffic from Google already.
- I will have no problem writing articles on economics.
My motivation for entering the competition is not to win the money (I don’t expect to do that). I predict the winners will be a blog with already over 500 subscribers.
However, if I can increase my subscriber base by 50 in a month, I will be happy. More subscribers means hopefully more commentators and more links. A few more links to the site would help alot.
I’ll let you know how I get on. It’s good to have a challenge now that I am working full time as a blogger.
By the way, if you fancy subscribing to a fascinating blog about Economics, I’d be grateful…
