New Free RSS Tool
Earlier today my friend in
Australia, Quentin Brown,
released a new RSS Fetch software for free
download.
*Still confused about RSS? *
Most people on the Internet have heard of RSS and understand that it is
something they are supposed to know about but don't have any clue where to
start. RSS and feed technology can help you automate your web-surfing, deliver
your newsletters and training, monitor your industry and publish it in a
spam-free, virus-proof channel.
RSS is a format for delivering and receiving syndicated information and content
from any site that is providing the service, including major news sites like
Wired, news-oriented community sites like Slashdot, podcasts, personal weblogs
and even plain old websites. Basically it is a simple text file (RSS or XML
extension) that acts similar to a webpage and is updated either automatically by
server enabled software or can be updated manually.
The most common use of an RSS feeds is to provide summaries of news posts from
web sites. The RSS feeds usually provide a snippet of the story with a link to
the full post. There are many more interesting and unique uses for rss feeds
that have been created across the Internet.
*But it's not just for news. *
Pretty much anything that can be broken down into a feed can be syndicated via
RSS - articles, sermons, training or coaching, comics, recipes, audio and video,
Weather, affiliate links, product updates and
we have even seen one person deliver a chapter of his book each week. Once
information about each item is in RSS format, you can add it to your website.
The beauty of providing your visitors with RSS feeds embedded in your website is
that it will update on a regular basis thereby providing you with fresh content
everyday. This doesn't have to be on the front page but could be in articles,
industry updates, a coaching feed etc. There are so many feeds online that
almost any niche is catered for.
Quentin has just released a
new software package, called MSIFetch, that lets you add RSS feeds, that are
search engine friendly directly to your web pages. You can now run it all from
your own website and get all the credit instead of using third party systems and
giving them valuable SEO brownie points.
MSIFetch is being offered free and comes with a number of tutorials to help you
learn more about RSS feeds and how you can create your own. Download and use on
any number of websites for no cost.

No Software Needed?
Butterfly Marketing proves to be just as powerful in strategies then in the software itself. Below you will find a student and customer of the course. Michael Cheney and I have had an opportunity to meet over the last few weeks with the success of his launch (See below).
Michael applied the the pre-launch strategies and affiliate tools and JV strategies (Butterfly Effects) to the his launch. I can go on and on, but I will let you read what Mike had to say below.
Butterfly Case Study - Brit Student Makes $63,249 in 24 hours of launch!Mike - first off I just want to say thank you so much! The techniques I learned from Butterfly Marketing played a BIG part in helping me make $63,249 in sales in 24 hours!! As I write this I'm still finding it hard to believe. It seems a lifetime ago that the BFM package landed on my doorstep and I started poring over it with my smile getting larger and wider with each new insight as I realized that as long as I APPLIED what I was learning the principles were going to make something BIG happen! Little did I know just HOW BIG it would be when I launched AdSense Videos... AdSense Videos - 33 Hours After Launch..The site went live. My life changed forever - seriously the results have been incredible Mike - we've grossed over $200,000 in 7 days!! The site got an Alexa ranking on Launch Day of 351! You want to know the gross sales figure just 4 hours after the Launch?
Why I'm smiling 8 hours after the Launch
Why I'm smiling 12 hours after the Launch..
Why I'm smiling EVEN MORE after 24 hours of the Launch!
AdSense Videos was ranked Number 1 on the ClickBank Marketplace in the Marketing category after just 4 days of Launch! I've had an Inbox full of sales all week! This is what happens when I LEAVE MY INBOX FOR JUST 45 minutes;
This is 29 sales in 45 minutes! That's $2523 gross sales in 45 minutes. And this was on the SIXTH DAY of the Launch!! I've also been getting, on average, one new subscriber every minute of every hour for the past SIX AND A HALF DAYS!!!
The past few days have been unbelievable - I've got an absolute TON of screenshots of it all happening and there's no sign of the sales slowing down.. So - What did I learn from you Mike and from Butterfly Marketing?Where to start! I think one of the biggest things was the step-by-step approach. Everything I created for Affiliates, Joint Venture partners and for people going through the videos themselves has been step-by-step. I made everything as easy as I could and 'muppet-proof' as I like to call it! I also realized that it's paying attention to the smaller details BEFORE launch that really pay dividends AFTER the Launch. And BOY am I seeing that! You gave some absolute gems of advice in Butterfly marketing which have, without a shadow of a doubt, contributed in a big way to the overall success of AdSense Videos. Thanks again! Michael Cheney
