1. RSS Icons On Prominent Positions

The biggest mistake lots of bloggers make is that they don’t show RSS icons on prominent positions on their blogs. You should aim at showing your RSS icon and email subscription form above the fold on your blog or even in your blog header section. Make sure RSS Subscription facility should be available on all of your blog pages and RSS icons should be professional looking.

2. Subscription Process Should Be Small

You should keep the subscription process as small as you can and should ask readers to fill minimum fields. No one loves to follow long process and filling too many fields when subscribing to a blog.

3. Regular Content Coming

You should make sure that you blog publish new content on daily basis and if possible 2-3 posts per day. Readers on your blog always love new content coming on the topics of their interest.

Higher number of subscribers on your blog will motivate others to subscribe to your blog. But there is no use of showing RSS Feed Counter if there are very few subscribers to you blog right now. You can show your current RSS subscribers counter using FeedBurner services.

Most of discussion forums will allow you to place a link to your website or even your RSS Feed in the signature section. So your links will be available on all threads you reply to or you start.

11. Including A Tag Line With Each Post
