5 Reasons Subscribe to Your Own Content

by Andy Brudtkuhl on February 11, 2009

This may sound stupid – but make it a practice to subscribe to your own content… Here are five reasons why…

  1. If there is an issue with the syndication or delivery of the content you will find it as soon as possible
  2. If you made a grammatical error, you can fix it fast
  3. You can make sure it looks right (formatting, alignment, images) when it hits the RSS reader or email inbox
  4. Observing how your audience consumes your content gives insight in how to optimize it
  5. You can see how the subscription process works (ie what happens after you subscribe to our email newsletter?)

I’ve witnessed the benefits first hand many times. For instance, I found a bad formatting error in the email newsletter on my internet business podcast – luckily before we had built a subscriber base.

What other reasons should you subscribe to your own content? Let us know in the comments!
