RSSMasher – The Swiss Army Knife of RSS feed manipulation and publishing

RSS DefinitionReally Simple Syndication (or Rich Site Summary or RDF Site Summary). It’s a standard way that websites make their content available for syndication (sharing it elsewhere).

Mash Definition – A “mash” is RSSMasher’s element for managing incoming RSS feeds. A mash is a collection of RSS feeds, and it allows for the manipulation of the feeds content.

Before RSSMasher Technology

Before RSSMasher came along, I was tripping all over the various WordPress RSS plugins, trying to get them to work and being frustrated with their idiosyncrasies and limitations. I nearly gave up.

Image of man using a laptop, frustrated with working with RSS plugins
That look I had when working with RSS plugins caused nothing but frustration

Then along came one of those webinar notifications we marketers receive in our inboxes – this one about some new piece of software that was a new way to manipulate and post RSS feeds. Curious, I signed up for and attended the webinar. Once I heard the product creators, Damon Nelson and Wayne Atkinson, talking about their new RSS management SaaS (Software as a Service), I realized it was what I had been looking for all along but couldn’t find.

I purchased it as quickly as I could. I was so excited that I brought my laptop with me on a Hawaiian vacation we were leaving for so I could watch the training videos while my wife and son were running around on the island. I’ve used it daily since I got it set up.

Understanding RSSMasher

Harnessing the power of RSS feeds, RSS Masher Technology offers a robust solution to content curation and original content creation. This multifaceted tool combines various RSS feeds, allowing you to tailor content that resonates with your audience. With built-in RSS niches, the capability to import additional RSS feeds, and even YouTube videos, RSSMasher empowers you to create custom RSS mashes.

But what does this mean in practice? Let’s delve deeper.

Content Curation with Built-in RSS Niches, Importing Additional RSS Feeds and Importing YouTube Videos

Search engines place value on a website having fresh content. Many marketers choose to get a continuous supply of fresh content for their websites via curating content from other websites.

Content curation is the cornerstone of a successful content marketing strategy, and RSS Masher Technology makes this process a breeze. With built-in RSS feed niches, you can quickly curate content across a range of categories, such as popular news feeds, sports, entertainment, lifestyle, health, and more. But what if you want to curate content beyond these niches? RSSMasher has you covered.

RSS Masher Technology allows you to import additional RSS feeds from any website or blog, filter them by keyword (positive keywords and/or negative keywords), and give you total control over the content you share. In addition, RSSMasher doesn’t just stop at text content. With the ability to directly import YouTube videos, you can incorporate video content into your curation effortlessly.

So whether you’re sharing the latest news article or a trending YouTube video, RSSMasher ensures your content remains fresh and engaging.

Creating Custom RSS Mashes

RSSMasher takes content curation a notch higher with the creation of custom RSS mashes. By combining multiple RSS feeds into one custom feed, RSSMasher creates a unique stream of content that can be automatically posted to your websites and social accounts.

The process is straightforward – combine content from different RSS feeds, incorporate your own money hooks, links, and voila – you have a custom RSS mash. With RSSMasher, you’re not just curating content but creating a unique blend of information tailored to your audience’s interests.

Creating Your Own Content with RSSMasher

RSSMasher uses “mashes” to manage RSS feeds, and they allow for a great deal of manipulation of the feed content.

Beyond content curation, RSSMasher is a powerful ally in content creation. With features like automated content creation, authority link insertion, affiliate link insertion, and banner ad insertion, RSSMasher simplifies the content creation process. But that’s not all. RSSMasher also integrates with a host of other tools like Article Forge, AiMasher, WordAI, and Google Sheets, further expanding its capabilities.

Let’s explore these features in detail.

Automated Content Creation

Automated content creation has revolutionized the way we approach content marketing. By leveraging technology, the process of creating, distributing, and managing digital content has become more efficient and precise. With RSSMasher, you can automate content creation by curating content from integrated RSS niches, importing additional RSS feeds, and importing YouTube videos.

The advantage? You save time and resources without compromising on the quality of your content. Automation also ensures that your content is uniform and up-to-date and can be tailored to target specific audiences. With tools like RSSMasher, Article Forge, AiMasher, and WordAI at your disposal, automated content marketing has never been easier.

Automated Authority Link, Affiliate Link Insertion, and Banner Ad Insertion

RSSMasher is not just about creating content. It’s about creating content that generates revenue. With features like automated authority link insertion, affiliate link insertion, and banner ad insertion, RSSMasher helps you monetize your content effortlessly.

Whether you’re incorporating links to expert authority posts or integrating affiliate links and banner ads, RSSMasher ensures that your content is not just engaging but also profitable.

Anchor Text Lists allow you to identify keywords that you can use in your articles to link to authority websites, affiliate websites, or both. You can even have them link to pages on your own website.

Article Forge Compatibility

The power of RSSMasher extends beyond its standalone features. Through its compatibility with Article Forge, RSSMasher allows you to leverage the automated content creation features of this powerful tool. With Article Forge, you can generate high-quality content for your social media accounts, giving them a viral boost.

The integration is seamless, allowing you to enjoy the best of both tools in one convenient platform.

AiMasher Integration

RSSMasher’s integration with AiMasher is another testament to its versatility. With AiMasher integration, you can bulk import, edit, and post AI-generated content directly within RSSMasher. This feature not only simplifies content generation but also allows you to create a unique voice for your content, setting your brand apart from the competition.

RSSMasher’s integration with AiMasher is a great way to quickly and easily bend content creation and publishing to your will.

WordAI Integration

RSSMasher’s compatibility extends to WordAI, a leading content rewriting service. By integrating with WordAI, RSSMasher allows you to take content from the best RSS feeds and create unique and engaging content in the process.

This integration simplifies the content rewriting process, making it easier for you to produce high-quality, unique content for your websites.

Helpful Content Creator and Listicles

Behind every successful content marketing campaign is what Google refers to as helpful content. Google wants to serve search results that are informative, entertaining, and of value to their audience.

With RSSMasher, you get the Helpful Content feature that adds article-related FAQs, statistics, external sources, and How-To articles. You also get the Listicles feature. The ever-popular listicles element in an article is proven to slow readers down who are skimming articles and get them to engage in the article.

These unique features of RSSMasher assist you in the creation of the types of helpful articles that Google has stated they are looking for. From automated content curation to seamless integration with other tools, RSSMasher empowers you to create content that resonates with your audience – and pleases the search engines.

Swap Imported Images With Image Packs

In the realm of content marketing, visuals play a pivotal role in engaging the audience. To this end, RSSMasher allows you to add images or swap imported images with images from image packs, adding a splash of color and creativity to your content.

Some marketers – like me – do not want to use images from other websites because of the concern over copyright infringement. But that’s no longer a worry because RSSMasher can optionally strip-out the incoming images and replace them with images from topic-related image packs within the RSSmasher dashboard. RSSMasher comes with image packs covering numerous topics. But you can also create your own custom image packs from images you have on your computer, from Canva, etc.

RSSMasher comes with numerous images packs built-in so you can swap out copyrighted images coming in with the RSS feeds with topic-related images.

Whether you’re curating articles or creating custom RSS mashes, vibrant imagery can take your content to the next level, and it’s a great way to break up paragraphs and slow down readers who are skimming articles.

Google Sheets Integration

In the process of content creation and curation, flexibility and organization are key. RSSMasher’s integration with Google Sheets allows you to manage external content seamlessly.

For example, you can find great RSS feed content using tools like Feedly. As you find the content you like, you can have it copied over to a dedicated Google Sheet to be used with RSSMasher. RSSMasher will detect new content as it arrives, and it will add it to one of your mashes. From there, it can be published based on the publishing schedule you’ve set up.

The Google Sheets integration makes external content management a breeze.

Streamlining Content Posting with RSSMasher

Creating content is just half the battle; the other half is effectively posting it across platforms. With RSSMasher, you can streamline your content posting process with integrations with WordPress, MasherSites, Blogger, Tumblr, and Amazon S3.

But how does it work? Let’s explore.

MasherSites Integration

Looking to boost your content’s reach and not have to deal with the ins & outs of WordPress websites? RSSMasher’s MasherSites integration can help. While WordPress websites provide a great deal of flexibility in how that can be set up, they can also be challenging for newer website owners to use. Plus, they are one of the biggest targets of hackers worldwide.

Pixabay Image Search Feature

With the Pixabay image search feature, you can enhance your content with high-quality visuals without worrying about copyright issues.

Mind-Blowing Advanced Features

The RSS feeds of certain websites come with one of more elements inserted into the articles that you may not want posted on your websites. For example, it might be HTML related to advertisement blocks, links to other content, or text you don’t want.

The Advanced tab in an RSSMasher mash makes it possible for you to stripe out HTML links in the article, leaving the anchor text intact.

And RSSMasher’s allows you to completely remove sections of a feed and/or replace text. This feature advanced feature comes in quite handy when you’re dealing with content sources, such as the New York Times.
