Email marketing is very useful to build traffic to your site. Well, apart from the other things you use your list for, you can also use your email list to drive traffic to your blog. Surprisingly most bloggers forget this aspect.

You will be able to update your audience about the release of a new post on your blog. In fact, email promotion is a great way to keep your audience informed about the events happening on your site.

You can promote your blog as a brand and retain your customer base in the long run. Above all, this is a one time set up. You can set it up and forget about it.

Your email autoresponder service (like Aweber or GetResponse) will automatically notify your subscribers! A quick word about the email autoresponders to choose - well you can choose ANY of them. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. But from my experience I’ve found Aweber to be the best in this aspect.

How to set up RSS to email blog broadcast in Aweber

You can set up a blog broadcast by following the steps mentioned below:

First, you should select the Messages Tab. Click on the ‘Create New Blog Broadcast’ to start the process. Second, enter the RSS feed URL of your blog in the first field.

You should also select the required template from the available drop down list. Before selecting the template, you can go through the preview of each template.

After choosing a template of your choice, you can click on ‘Load Template’ button. Third, you can select the time of day that you want to schedule the email newsletter.

If the time is immaterial to you, you can set it ‘Immediately’. You should select the trigger point for the generation of a new email. You can select the option box based on the ‘number of new items’ or ‘specific weekday or date of the month’.

If you do not have your choice, you can select ‘Send Automatically’. You should uncheck ‘Send Automatically’ if you wish to review your mails manually which will reflect on ‘Broadcast’ page under such scenario.

Fourth, you should save the Blog Broadcast to confirm your new selections. As soon the confirmation is applied, new emails will be generated and processed accordingly. Fifth, before logging out of the application, you are required to test the broadcast that you had just created as per your requirement.

You can find the pending broadcasts which are queued for your confirmation. If you sense something wrong, you can delete the broadcast as well. Here is the video tutorial of setting up automatic blog broadcast in Aweber Please pardon the poor quality of the video!
