Clean Up Your Inbox With Google Reader

There are many ways you can collect, organize and read your RSS Feeds. My personal favorite is the google RSS reader or Google Reader for short.

If you haven’t already done so you’ll need to sign up for a Google Account. I can’t stress how important it is to have a Google account since they offer so many different services that you will make use of in your Internet Business. e.g. Google Adwords, Google Analytics and Gmail. Today we’re going to look at Google Reader.

Once you have a Google Account you need to register for Google Reader here http://reader.google.com/

Once you sign in you’ll be presented with this screen:
Google Reader Welcome Screen

Watch the welcome video, take the tour and take time to familiarize yourself with Google Reader’s features.

Google Reader constantly checks your favorite blogs and news sites for new content.

One particularly nice feature is the shared items page where if you see a post that you think others can benefit from you can click share and it will be featured on your own shared items page. There is even a feed for this page so you can share all your favorite marketers blog posts in one place.

See my example page John Szram’s Shared Items

Google reader is totally free and works in most modern browsers. You can even check your RSS Feeds on your mobile. Beats sifting through your inbox or visiting all those blogs everyday to see if anything new has been posted.

I love things that save me time, money or both and this is a great time saver which also happens to be free.

Once you’ve signed up don’t forget to add my blog to your reader!

    Too true John, although I don’t visit many blogs at all! Because I check them every couple of days, I can see what’s new and what’s not. :D

    It must just be me, I don’t know?! The only Google tool I really use is Analytics, and I really love it! I find that it’s more useful than some other stats sites out there, plus the fact that it’s free.

    Google go above and beyond the kind of service you expect from a search engine!

    Another valuable post!

    Thanks
    Mark
