My previous post about my feedburner experiment was successful. And as I promised I am going to share it on my next post. Hehe, Okay Heres what I did. I just gain a few dozen of subscribers by applying that experiment. I mention Social media sites here because we are going to use Twitter, Plurk, Entrecard, etc. on this activity. So I assumed you have these accounts.
Remember in Feedburner your potential subscribers can subscribe only to your feed by Email and via Feeds. So why Social Media sites? Because most of Social Media sites users were blog owners, most of them are tech savy people, has a feedburner and loves to subscribe too.
The concept behind this is to expose your blog url as much as you can using Social Media sites. Please don’t forget to have a visible subscription button links on your blogs like these:
, 
, 
, 
, 
Don’t just follow. Heres what I did on my previous experiment. My blog is more on Blogging, SEO, Web design, and Money making online. So I follow ProBlogger and John Chow’s followers to target make money online enthusiast. And to target SEO people, just follow Matt Cutts and Aaron Wall twitter followers. Follow a score of people you will notice they will follow you too.
TIP: Use Summize to find people interested on your blog niche.
On Plurk:
Just Add a dozen of new friends. You are not just exposing your site but giving your self an additional Karma (a plurk term).
On Entrecard
Don’t just buy. I prefer to buy cheap priced blogs so I can expose my site more. If you want to try this experiment, try to spend 500-1000+ entrecards credits on buying cheap ads. How to buy cheap ads? Go to the Campaign section of Entrecard and click the “Cheap” link.

Promoting your blog in social media is something most bloggers forget. Thanks for reminding us with this post.
On a side note, akala ko something groundbreaking ang disovery mo. Hehe. Na-excite ako sobra.
Anyway, here’s another “sneaky but legal” way to increase your feed subscribers. Sign up for BlogCatalog and join feed subscription exchange groups. There’s a lot of them there. Or just create a new group yourself - “Subscribe to my feed, and I’ll subscribe to yours” campaign
The same can be done in MyBlogLog - join RSS exchange communities or just create your own and start inviting.
Been doing this minimally for quite some time now and it’s given me a consistent rate of increase in subscribers.

as of these days, wala akong ginawa sa blog ko pero people are trying to subscribe my feed. kaso halos lahat email subscriptions hindi feed reader. Pero sa tingin ko mas advantageous kung mga email subscribers dahil pwede mo silang pagkakakitaan. Kadalasan kasi sa kanila walang kaalamalam sa online na hanapbuhay natin. (hehe)

@Selaplana: Sel, effective tlaga kapag ung subscribe via email form nasa visible area ng blog mrami mag sasubscribe. Lalo na pa mataas traffic mo.

wow, way to go with your feedburner. I am still working to increase mine. i lost a lot of subscribers when my blog went down twice within six months and all the data was gone with it too. I blame Yahoo and quickly switched servers and haven’t had a problem since. I am going to try you little experiment and see how it goes.
