As the number of feed reader grows, more people will get alerts when you post an article. So, here are a few tips to increase your feed readers.
- Put up a Subscribe in my Feed link on the top of the homepage and a small 2-line text that will make your readers subscribe.

- Submit your feed to some Rss feeds directories.
- Use your feed links in forum signatures.
