How-to Send RSS Email Campaign(s)

Introduction.

As a business owner, RSS allows you to share updates and freshly published blog content through email. Instead of bombarding your audience with an email each time a new blog goes live—which could become overwhelming—you can schedule periodic RSS emails or newsletters. These provide a curated summary of recent blog posts, ensuring your audience stays informed without feeling inundated.
