5 Reasons to why you are losing your RSS Subscribers

You might have noticed your Blog’s RSS subscribers increasing and decreasing often. But have you ever wondered why you lose them? Here are a few reasons.

1. Infrequent Posting

   If you suddenly stop posting for a while and then post only with apologies for not posting, it’s a sure way to lose subscribers. If what you post is worthwhile and valuable, your readers won’t mind infrequent posting, but when you do post remember to not post apologies.

   If you really must apologize to your readers, do it at the end of a valuable post.

2. Re-Blogging

   If your blog only consists of copy-paste work from other blogs, then you are encouraging your readers to click the “unsubscribe” button. Re-blogging is one thing you must stay away from. If you are doing it now, stop it before you learn the hard way.

3. Constant Negativity

   I have seen a few people blog when in a bad mood. They post irrelevant to the content of their blogs. While this is ok when done rarely, you can lose subscribers when done often.Think twice about posting if you are in a bad mood, depressed or have nothing to say.

4. Talking down to your readers

   Talking down to your readers and treating them like idiots will send them right to the “unsubscribe” button.Prevent such posts in your blog.Also do not lie to your readers. Be honest and you shall get loyal readers.

5. Bad Titles

   Subscribers must be able to make out what you have posted from the title itself as most of them jugde whether to read the post or not from it. The post title must be a very short sumary of your post.

There are many more reasons why you could be losing your blog’s rss subscribers. Please share any reason you might know.
