I found this crazy way of getting new feed subscribers while checking out a few blogs this morning.

Building our feed subscriber base is essentially list building. We take all kinds of creative actions to build that list. Flashy graphics, links everywhere, even run contests and give-a-ways just to grow our rss readers.

Do we ever just ask for new subscribers? Why not dedicate an entire post to ask others to subscribe? That’s exactly what Rocky John Tayaban of TheWeblogZone has done with his post Why Subscribe To TheWeblogZone Feed. Actually, he not only asked but gives reasons you should subscribe.

This is so simple I think few of us would have thought of it. I may be over-reacting a little but I think it’s ingenious.

Here’s Why You Should:
We are tracking your IP address and know where you live… Joking

1. We are in our sixth year and have learned a lot and want to share our expertise with you.
2. We don’t send out emails every time some other marketer puts together some lame affiliate program. We have far too much respect for our subscribers to blast offers everyday.
3. We spread the love. I am a big believer in credit where credit is do and won’t think twice about linking to other ezines, websites, resources and blogs if I think it will benefit our readers. In fact, we just started a new edition of the Extreme Ezine called the Social Editon. We acknowledge a lot of other marketers that we have noticed and impressed us. You do not have to be a top marketer or guru to be recognized by us.
4. I’m honest. I don’t hype everything trying to impress or mislead everyone. If I make a mistake I admit it and apologize. I don’t paste huge checks or screen prints of PayPal activity to impress you into spending your money. I don’t promote anything I don’t believe in myself.

There you have it, several reasons you should subscribe to both our RSS feed and the Extreme Ezine.

Please subscribe and then go over to TheWeblogZone and subscribe there too.

Five years of online business has grown to over two dozen sites of which eleven are Blogs, three newsletters over a hundred domains and countless joint ventures. We have enjoyed success and endured failure but it has always been fun. Since we is me, meaning I’m a one member band, I’ve decided to trim my work load down. In fact, I’m going to trim off a slim piece and toss what’s left.

The Extreme Ezine will be one of just a few sites I’ll keep. I plan to focus the majority of my online time to the Extreme Ezine and work on improvements, content and readership. The joke sites – gone, the internet marketing sites – gone. Also gone are the video AdSense sites, the eBay sites and every niche site I’ve built.

Why the extreme changes?

Why the extreme changes? Easy question, time! It takes up too much time to run that many projects and as I get older I realize I’d better start spending more time with family while I have time to spend.

There will also be a few changes with the Extreme Ezine too. I’ll be posting much more content on the blog and publishing many more issues of the ezine. Not everything will go out in the Ezine so don’t forget to subscribe to our feed. One change of the ezine will upset a few people but it’s necessary. We will no longer offer free downloads with each issue. When I find something of value and have the rights to give it away I’ll do so but the subscribers area and free downloads are a thing of the past. It was a tough decision but I want subscribers that stay for the content and free download sites are everywhere you look. The site we used to deliver the downloads will also shut down.

What stays?

What stays? So far I’m keeping our free Ad Tracking and short URL site. I’ll keep our corporate site up and a personal blog. Everything else will more than likely be pulled.

Need a site or domain?

Need a site or domain? Like I mentioned, I have over a hundred domains and I’m willing to sell most of them. Eventually I’ll put them up for sale officially but if something interests you now feel free to make an offer.

Thank You!

I would like to thank our subscribers and readers. Many of you have been with use for years and I truly appreciate each and every one of you. It’s folks like you that made it impossible to walk away from the Extreme Ezine.

During our winter break I’ve been re-designing many of our sites using WordPress Blog themes. There are many reasons for the change in formats such as ease of updating, the search engines love blogs and they can be much easier for visitor navigation. For the Extreme Ezine, I wanted something special. I just purchased the best WordPress Blog Theme available, the WordPress Dream Theme

It’s going to take a little time to tweak everything into perfection but the changes will be simple. Now subscribers will also have the option to subscribing to our RSS feed, which we’ve been testing for months. Our ezine issues and archives will be in blog post format which will allow and record your comments.

The new site design features easier navigation and expanded options that will allow us to add new features very quickly. Another part of our design will include an upgraded member’s area where subscribers will access downloads and subscriber only specials.

Be sure to subscribe now if you’re not already a subscriber so you can be the first to receive the Extreme Ezine’s next issue.
