A news reader allows you to subscribe to your favourite blogs and read them all in one area.

Some of the popular news readers include Google Reader and Microsoft Outlook.

You may have seen the RSS icon on blogs and some normal websites. Whenever a new post or change is done to that website, the change is sent to your reader.

Some blogs only show a summary of the posts making you click on the link if you want to read the full post. Some blogs show the entire post in the RSS feed. Images and videos are shown in posts with a reader.

The benefits
You can read all the blogs and newsgroups in one area. If you are subscribed to a lot of blogs, you will appreciate the time saved instead of visiting every blog individually checking and reading new posts.

How to set up Google Reader
This is very simple. Create or login to your Google account. Click on News Reader and follow the prompts.

Using Google Reader
I start everyday by reading the latest blog posts from industry leaders. It allows me to stay up-to-date with the latest trends in Internet Marketing and eCommerce.You to would benefit from staying ahead of the competition and knowing the latest developments in your field.

I have my own opinions which I express on this blog which a lot of people read everyday. Learning how to start your own blog is a whole post, just to introduce the concept to you so we will leave this one for today.

Wrap Up
What can I say? If you’re not using a news reader, you wouldn’t be reading many blogs and not staying ahead of your competition!
