Nowadays nobody
cares about subscription to a website why? Because of Google Chrome’s latest feature
to get push notifications directly from the browser into your PC, laptop and
your mobile phone. Nice and easy. Today as promised I’m going to teach you all
how to add notification feature on to your blog, should work with any type of
website but I’m trying on blogger (BlogSpot) so you use this guide and try on
to your website and let me know so that I can add those here which will help
others. However no coding knowledge is required for this process. But let me
rectify why keeping a mailing list always comes in handy. Your supporter who is
loyal, willing to know about you will definitely check the posts provided him
in to his mailing id. Hence it’s always better to maintain a mailing list, this
is push notification is just another alternative in the form.
What are push notifications?
Just like a
notification you get from your app, now you can also get notifications from
your website. People might not check your mails they receive in the mails about
your blog but will definitely check if it’s a notification. So it’s a win-win
situation for both the reader and the blogger. Also your content gets viewed by
your audience super quick which is just a notification away.
Why you should use push Notifications?
You’ll be able to
connect with the users more with your content and would result in a good impact
for your blog. It’s kinda no brainer to not use such an awesome way to interact
with your audience.
So let’s begin
Things which we will be required for enabling push notification
- Your blogger account
- Pushcrew account- you can sign up over here.
Set was quite easy you just have to sign up for a free
account. And then you are welcomed with the dashboard directly. Now I’m
figuring stuff I hope this should be an easy walk. Everything’s nice and easy
but it says that we cannot add push notifications for mobile. And more ever you
are stuck with 500 subscribers for push notifications. Otherwise you pay and go
main stream with mobile push notifications and unlimited push notification
offers. The push notification javascript which you get is provided from
Pushcrew, so if you are on the free version your audience would have to allow
permissions for two times. Handy thing what I just found that if your website
is supported/has SSL Certificate then you can get the propriety menu for
allowing notifications or blocking just like you can you get for other
websites.
For the time being
I’m going to keep using pushcrew, and would also suggest you all to keep using
this as a beginner, once you all rank in the search engine then it will be time
to pay and move on to pay or other better option until then I would be
searching other alternatives so make sure you are subscribed for more awesome
content around the corner.
Hope you understand the steps provided any doubts or
problems regarding would be solved, comment in the section below and I would
there to help!
