Money From Your RSS? A Feedburner Alternative Worth a Closer Look
This is a sponsored post. All opinions are 100% my own.
Our relationship with RevResponse goes back to 2008, when we posted a review of their B2B Publisher Network. We like these guys, and we’re always interested in what they’re up to. So when we heard about a new product they’re rolling out that’s a Feedburner alternative, we were very excited to learn more and pass it on to our audience.
This new tool from RevResponse is very cool, to say the least! In a nutshell, it’s a tool that converts RSS feeds into email newsletters. But more than that, it’s a way to go from paying out for your newsletters to turning them into a profit center. If you’re paying Constant Contact or one of the other email management services to manage creation and sending of newsletters, RevResponse’s new RSS to Email Tool is way to do basically the same thing for free, and then instantly monetize your newsletters with relevant free offers.
For every qualified download as a result of an email sent through the tool, the blogger using the tool receives between $1.50 to $20.00. That’s right – they let you give your readers FREE resources and then pay you for it. Not bad at all, for almost no effort!
Here are the important details:
- Approval-based program – Click here to apply
- Rather than contextual ads, the RevResponse RSS Tool is monetized by giving away free resources that are seamlessly added to the newsletter!
- 5 minutes or less to get set up
- Real-time statistics
- Mash-up feeds capability
- Flexible scheduling
The bottom line is that if you’re looking for a Feedburner alternative that will allow you to easily monetize your RSS feeds while supplying your audience with valuable free resources at the same time, you have to check out RevResponse’s RSS to Email Tool. And if you’ve already used this tool, be sure to share your experiences in the comments below!

P.S. If you don’t have an RSS or aren’t interested in changing your RSS system and want to try out RevResponse, a great alternative is another service they offer which monetizes confirmation and thank you pages. It’s a resource widget that replaces the standard, boring “activate your subscription” page that most sites use when a user subscribes. The widget provides readers with a chance to download free eBooks, white papers, and other downloads that are relevant to your site’s subject matter.
Just as with the RSS tool, the site owner gets a commission every time someone downloads a qualified free product. For more details on this service, click here.
