BZB201 7.3: Feedblitz Walkthrough
So Feedblitz is more than an RSS server and it's more than an email marketing client. It's a little of both - but together functions better than either alone. I knew a bit about Feedblitz before this video but there were some cool things I didn't know. You can do these:
1. If you had a 'newsletter' with subscribers, you could write a Recap Week Blogpost tag it with the "newsletter" tag and it will automatically be sent to your newsletter subscribers.
2. If you talk about two different things on your site and find some people aren't interested in both, readers of either can subscribe to your list and only get the stuff they're interested in. Without having to "tick" a box!
3. The customizable footer means you can put dynamic messages in your feed. For instance, if you have a webinar this week, you could put that in the footer and all your subscribers would know about it.
Those are just some of the fun things. What parts of Feedblitz do you like or dislike?BZB201 7.4: Gmail Tips and Tricks
