A lot of people ask me how to earn more money online, one of the major things is you need to look like an authority figure. If all your stats are low then why should anyone advertise with you?

I’ve been doing more and more research trying to figure out the appropriate numbers, ways to increase feed subscriptions etc. I’ve found some new things out which I want to share with you!

Feedburner doesn’t count the people who are subscribed to your feed only the ones who access it. So you could have 30,000 people signed up but if only 120 access it well… you’re not look so hot there buddy!

One of the easiest ways to increase the subscription is to entice people to join your email feed. As long as their email address is accessible they are counted every time.  So what I have started to do is draft contests to increase my numbers on my site.

1. Create a contest appropriate for your niche/target audience.

2. Have an easily accessible email form sign up and rss feed signup

3. Offer two ways to enter the contest - Comment on this post - Join our Email Updates list.

When they join your email update list you will see their email address. So it is really easy to pick a winner. I offer two ways, if people comment using the same email address they signed up with then they are counted as 2 entries to the contest. This way they have a better chance of winning the prizes. Even if they don’t read your feed they will still have a regular reminder of your site in their inbox on a daily scale. It’s free advertisement for the masses
