New Blog Milestone - 6000 RSS Readers
written by John Chow
I just noticed that the blog hit another milestone. The FeedBurner chicklet is showing 6,010 RSS readers. This marks the first time the blog has passed the 6,000 feed reader mark. What that means is 6,010 people read this blog with the full feed RSS yesterday. Today’s figure will be available tomorrow. I suspect it will be lower because of the 4th of July holiday.
For those wondering how to increase their RSS subscriptions, I wrote several articles on the subject. In case you missed them, here’s a recap:
- How To Increase RSS Subscriptions
- How To Get RSS Readers To Visit Your Blog
- Evil Way To Increase RSS Subscriptions (This is more of a joke post)
While RSS subscribers are way harder to monetize, you should work towards an ever increasing RSS readership because the feed readers represent a solid base that you can count on. Having a big RSS count makes you less dependent on other forms of traffic generation, like Google.
In the end, the biggest thing that will increase your RSS feed count is the same thing that will increase your blog traffic - your content. Everything comes back to content. If your content is good, your traffic and RSS counter will keep increasing.
Next stop, 7,000. If you like this post, please subscribe to my RSS feed.

Very impressive numbers indeed. It just keeps growing and growing, doesn’t it.

Keep up the great postings and I’ll continue reading your blog John. I just noticed that you dropped the Google ads for this page. Have you now fired Google?
i see google ads.
Yeah. They’re back. They were replaced with TTZ Media ads earlier.
Congratulations!
Congrats John, I am some zeros short but getting there.
Vijay
Hahaha! Yeah, few zeros short here too.
few zeroes is nice way to put it…
Congrats! I wonder how long it will take to reach 7k~
Not that long, I’d imagine. With John’s latest publicity stints, it might even be a lot sooner than we expect.
Good stuff John. I recently broke the 100 mark, hopefully I’ll get to 200 by the end of the year… I guess the scope of my blog is smaller, huh?
Congrats on the 100 mark!
.
Yeah, I just want to use John’s RSS feed button on my site to make it look awesome
Congrats on your Milestone.
still at 25 readers and going strong over at my site and recently my cash contest of $100 should give me more feeds readers and get my blog going, my $100 is what i have earned last month with payperpost and this is given out to someone else who makes the most points in my system.
How very generous (and smart) of you. Good luck on that contest you’re holding!
Awesome Job John!
Great job! 6000 is a LOT!
more money for john!
Congrats John, 6000 feed readers is quite a milestone. Keep up the great work.
[...] seems to be the day for passing milestones. Not only did I passed the 6,000 RSS milestone but I just checked my AGLOCO stats and it looks like I’ve passed the 20,000 sign up [...]
achieve both altogether
nice!
It was only a matter of time. With patience and consistency it has all come together
Congrats! My blog only have 600+ RSS subscribers
what do you mean “only 600+”?
that’s pretty good
That’s 5,400 less than John’s, but hardly a bad number. A lot of people could only wish they had 600. Not bad at all, congrats to you, too, Simon!
nice man almost hitting the 1000mark
Grats John!
That is lot of people…
well done john
i think you could reach 7000 within a month
John
I think its time for you to move your RSS feed to your domain via mybrand. After Google’s acquisiton, two FeedBurner’s premium services are free. MyBrand will give your feeds a new domain
feeds.johnchow.com/JohnChowDotCom
instead of
feeds.feedburner.com/JohnChowDotCom
I have been thinking of doing the same for my RSS Feed. Its not quite upto 6000, but roughly 400+ subscribers are definitely worth the switch. What do you think?
Yes, I’ve read about this the other day. MyBrand and TotalStats are now free. A lot of bloggers could definitely benefit from this.
Good work John! Congratulations.
I want to use the feedburner mybrand feature, but for some reason its not showing up in my account. Anyone else have this problem?
Congratulations, John!
I wish you to achieve the TechCrunch’s number of subscribers!
And I will follow you closely
that would be difficult but reachable with john’s evil marketing skills
Nothing is impossible when it comes to John Chow. I wouldn’t be surprised if he got there someday.
If the amount of subscribers keeps doubleing up like it has the last 3 days, I’ll have more than you soon!
And still climbing!
I really expected the RSS number to go down because it was the 4th of July holiday. This is a bonus!
Congrats John! Another 1000 subscribers, that’s a huge milestone!
Well done! Soon it will be 7,000!
Wow that’s a lot !! Conratz John
Congrats on the 6K! I’m pushing 100, so I’m not too far behind!
well done, goob
that’s pretty good
Great job! I have 240 as of today and working pretty hard to grow this.
Increase 288 again
congrats john john…. It won’t be long until you hit the 10K mark!
I’ve just blogged a neat little tip that could help you boost your feedburner count by a large percentage. My Sciencebase.com site went from around 1500 to 2700 subscribers on a good day within a few days of enabling this hack. I’ve not quite seen the same success with it on Sciencetext itself, although numbers are on the rise…

That’s an awsome milestone to hit john!
Wow, 6000? Great stuff John.
I have just launched a Feedburner competition on Sciencetext.com. Double your count before Labor Day and you could win a free text link on the site. Entry open to everyone with at least 20 subscribers. Reckon you’re up to the challenge?
