Introducing: The Wednesday Webinar Series
Change is good. That’s our theme this week, and it continues today with news about our upcoming Wednesday Webinar series. We’re really excited about this, as it gives us another opportunity to ensure you have the best resources available, resources you can easily access any time of the day with a simple click of a button. Miss a webinar? Need a FeedBlitz refresher or walk though? You’ll be able to come to the website and find what you need. Information about the webinars, and the completed webinars themselves, will also be posted on our Facebook page, so pop on over and give us a like so you don’t miss anything.
The series starts on the third Wednesday of every month, beginning in June, so be sure and mark your calendars!
Why Feedblitz?
Many publishers, bloggers and businesses make the migration to FeedBlitz because they need a professional, supported FeedBurner alternative. Here are some of the most frequently cited reasons people make the switch:
- Prompt corporate support and ongoing development
- Greater email design flexibility (e.g. add your own sponsorships to the mailing)
- Multiple email scheduling options
- Ability to send an email newsletter blast to your list without a blog or feed entry
- Custom fields, personalization and segmentation
- Auto responder capability for drip marketing or simple incentive mailings
- Extensive email reports for click, bounce, open tracking and more
- Automatic subscriber management, including automatic dual opt-in reminders
- Better email deliverability to major US Internet service providers, such as AOL
- Greater integration with social media
- SSL support
Ok, so we do all of those things, and we do them pretty well, if I do say so myself. But ultimately we’re nothing without you – our users – and customer support and ease of transition is vitally important to us. That’s why our webinar series is going to start off with a step by step guide to migrating from FeedBurner to FeedBlitz.
We’ll address things like:
- Creating feeds and email lists in FeedBlitz equivalent to your FeedBurner feeds and lists.
- How to update your web site to use the new FeedBlitz feeds and lists.
- Migrating FeedBurner RSS subscribers to FeedBlitz.
- Optionally deleting your FeedBurner RSS feed.
If you don’t currently have a Feedblitz account, sign up and spend a bit of time exploring what we can do for you. Then watch for more details on our Wednesday Webinar series. We can’t wait to get started. In the meantime, if there’s anything you’d like to see on our blog, or addressed in one of our webinars, let us know here in the comments or leave us a note on our Facebook page.
