How to get Feedburner subscription links at the end of every post

Posted by David Whitehouse

I’ve had a lot of visitors for my site with the keyphrase “feedburner at the end of every post” so I thought I best write a guide on how to do it.

Firstly I want to make it clear that I am using WordPress, if you are not using WordPress then I suggest you do so asap.

Once you have WordPress setup I suggest you install the Add Post Footer Plugin

Once you have this simply add some code in the plugin options and hey presto, you have a call to action to subscribe to your blog at the end of every post!

Feedburner – the answer to my email marketing dreams!

For those of you who know me, you will know that I’ve had a health problem that has prevented me using the net as much as I like over the years – so you’ll understand. For the rest of you, please bare with me if I regurgitate old stuff/ideas – I’m still playing catchup!

I’ve recently discovered the power of Feedburner after seeing that Seth Godin uses a similar service called FeedBlitz. so I thought, if it’s good enough for Seth, it’s good enough for me :)

Anyways, it’s great, I’ve been harping on at Anthony Shapley all week about it. It’s a great way to “save” all those visitors who visit your blog and then bugger off. Blogs have the worst bounce rate of any other type of website, because people tend to be interested in just one post, so it is important to keep them coming back via a feed subscription or an email subscription. It is probably best in encouraging everyone to sign up to Feedburner at the end of every post – with a call to action (I guess I best put this on my list of things to do now I said that)!

You can see on my sidebar that I have my feed link (as per standard) but I’ve also added receive blog updates by email. Now I much prefer this way of receiving blog posts – mainly because I tried Google Reader once and I hated it, plus I can’t be bothered to keep checking back.

Anyways, if you want to follow my blog via feedburner you can do so by clicking here.
