Best Practices for Showcasing RSS Feed on Teachable

1. Strategic Placement:

• Place the RSS Feed above the fold or near testimonials to grab attention.

2. Keep It Relevant:

• Choose an RSS source that relates directly to your course content or brand theme.

3. Minimalist Design:

• Avoid clutter. Stick with Wisernotify’s clean templates that fit seamlessly into Teachable’s aesthetic.

4. Mobile Responsiveness:

• Ensure your feed looks good on mobile devices since many users access Teachable courses via smartphones.

5. Consistency:

• Update or review your RSS Feed periodically to ensure it’s pulling relevant, fresh content.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Adding RSS Feed to Teachable

1. Embedding Code in the Wrong Section:

• Make sure you use a “Custom HTML” block and not plain text blocks; otherwise, the code won’t render.

2. Overloading with Too Much Content:

• Too many RSS items can overwhelm visitors. Limit the feed to a few high-quality updates.

3. Poor Placement Choices:

• Adding the feed at the bottom of a long page reduces visibility. Position it where it’s easily noticeable.

4. Ignoring Mobile Layouts:

• Not checking mobile responsiveness can hurt user experience. Always preview changes on different screen sizes.
