In a previous blog post, I gave you two solutions to ensure you don’t miss newsletters from your favorite authors. You can find those here. Today, I’m suggesting one more way to stay up-to-date.
Solution #3
Subscribe to the author’s newsletter RSS feed.
I subscribe to various blogs via RSS feed and read them at my leisure when I have time. I prefer to subscribe to author newsletters via email so I don’t miss time-sensitive announcements such as sales or new releases, but this is a good option for readers who don’t have a preference.
I’ll use my own newsletter as an example, which I send out via MailChimp.
- First, go to the author’s newsletter in your email and click on the link at the top that states: View this email in your browser.
- Then, click on the RSS feed symbol in the top right corner.
- When the window reloads, copy the new URL that displays.
- Open your favorite RSS feed organizer/reader and paste that URL into the search field. I use feedly. When the author’s newsletter auto-populates, click Follow. You should now see a list of previous newsletters, and as new ones are sent, they’ll show up in the same list.
The image below is what a list of my newsletters looks like in my RSS feed reader.
And there you have it! Follow these steps and never miss a newsletter from your favorite author again.
