Understanding Automation Workflows

Today, we’re diving into automation workflows using RSSMasher and RSS feeds. We will explore how to find, evaluate, and utilize RSS feeds effectively. One of the main questions I receive is, “How do I find RSS feeds?” I’ll reveal five proven methods to locate them, including a new feature in BotMasher that simplifies the process.

Finding RSS Feeds

Here are five methods to find RSS feeds:

1. Use a Chrome Extension: This is one of the easiest methods. Simply visit a site, activate the Chrome extension and it will provide you the RSS feed URL.
2. Search Engines: Input your topic followed by “RSS feeds” in Google. For example, “beekeeping RSS feeds.” This often yields great results.
3. FeedSpot: Use FeedSpot to find feeds related to your niche.
4. Feedly: If you have Feedly Pro Plus, you can find and create feeds easily, leveraging its AI search feature.
5. BotMasher: This is our “easy button” for finding RSS feeds. Input your topic, select how many feeds you want, and BotMasher does the rest!

Good vs. Bad RSS Feeds

Understanding the difference between good and bad RSS feeds is crucial. A good RSS feed contains rich content, images, and detailed articles. In contrast, a bad feed, often referred to as a “thin feed,” has minimal content, such as just a sentence or two. Here’s how to identify a good feed:

• Look for a content tag in the XML structure.
• Check for robust content with images and links.
• Ensure that the feed is regularly updated with fresh articles.

Building RSS Mashes

With RSSMasher, you can mash together multiple feeds into a single feed. This allows for greater content diversity and better syndication opportunities. Here’s how to build a mash:

1. Select the website feeds you want to include.
2. Use the scheduling feature to determine when content will be posted.
3. Integrate your feeds with WordPress or other platforms for seamless publishing.

Syndication & Backlinking

Once your content is published, it's essential to amplify its reach through syndication and backlinks. Tools like Omega Indexer and Booster Pages can help you to achieve this. Here’s a brief overview:

• Syndication: This involves sharing your published content across various platforms to increase visibility.
• Backlinking: Create backlinks to your content to improve SEO and drive traffic back to your site.

Auditing Your System

To ensure everything is running smoothly, it's crucial to audit your feeds and postings regularly. This helps you identify issues with feeds or content that may not be performing as expected. Here’s how to conduct an audit:

1. Check the status of your mashes and schedules.
2. Look for any feeds that are not being updated or are returning errors.
3. Review your posting frequency and adjust as necessary.

Wrap-Up and Q&A

That wraps up Day 1 of our masterclass! We covered a lot of ground today, from finding and evaluating RSS feeds to building mashes and auditing your system. Remember, the goal is to create a set-it-and-forget-it system that keeps your content flowing effortlessly.
