Cool RSS publishing combo tool

Allen Says just recently launched InstantGuruBlog which is simply a combination of an affiliate program and a blog.

This next tool is also just as simple as it is engineous.

RSS AutoPublisher is a combination of an RSS feed and an autoresponder.

So not only will you stay well clear of email spam filters (until RSS software starts implementing spam filters as well), but you can reach your audience in a sequential matter.

Think e-courses delivered through RSS
Think RSS-based newsletters with evergreen articles (as Debbie Jenkins calls them)
Think purchase follow-ups through RSS

But how about CAN SPAM ? - could this apply to you when publishing through RSS feeds?

Well, the RSS AutoPublisher site says “CAN SPAM? Email Laws? WHO CARES!”, “Forget about all email laws, like CAN-SPAM because they no longer apply to you.” and “When you use RSS AutoPublisher, not even the strictest, cruelest current/future email laws can stand between you and your subscribers!”

Well, this might be true right now, but I wouldn’t be surprised if RSS feeds and any other new way of reaching an audience online would be included in future consumer protection laws.

Anyway, this is just speculations on my part.

But if you have been thinking about using RSS as a publishing vehicle, but didn’t want to go the “blog way” to have your feed auto-updated, and if spam filters has been a problem for you in your autoresponder sequences because of the topics you write about, then RSS AutoPublisher might be worth a look or two.

Your help is greatly needed

The following is from an email I just got from Jason Mangrum about Chip Tarver:

Henrik, today my friend and his dear wife were hit
broadside by a truck. Chip Tarver (of FirstContactSecrets fame)
survived with a broken collar bone and ribs. Chip’s wife
Paula didn’t make it.

If you are a praying person (or even if you’re not) please hear
me out, because more than anything, Chip needs our spiritual
healing & loving energy right now. We, as a collective energetic
FORCE coming together in one mind and one accord can most
certainly raise the spiritual healing energy he needs so badly
right now.

My thoughts definitely goes out to Chip.
