If you have visited the blog lately you probably noticed a third icon on the top right corner that says “Mobile.” Basically we are testing out this new service, provided by TxtVox, that will allow our readers to receive updates from the blog via their mobile phones.
The cool thing about the service is that it is free both for the blogger and for the subscribers. On top of that, the blogger can also earn money, depending on the amount of mobile subscribers that he will get. Each SMS is sent with an advertisement at the end, and the blogger takes 50% of the revenues.
Not a bad idea from TxtVox, since it turns out to be a win-win situation for all the three parties involved (bloggers, subscribers that like to receive updates on their mobile, and the company providing the service).
My “Mobile” icon has been live only for some days, and most readers were probably not aware of it, so I can’t say how effective this subscription method is. I will track the numbers though and keep you guys updated. If you want to get free updates from Daily Blog Tips on your mobile, here is the link to subscribe.
The overall number of mobile subscribers will probably depend on the niche and style of the blog as well. News related or entertaining blogs might be favored here, since their readers probably want to receive posts as soon as they are published, and the length of those posts would be shorter and more appropriate for the medium.
Regardless, it could be worth a try. It is free, after all.
