ELI5: What is an RSS Feed, and how does it work?

Hi everyone, I manage a small business and we're trying to increase our web presence. Social media, blogging, SEO and a new website- we're pretty much revamping everything. My latest project has been setting up a blog and I keep coming across RSS Feeds. What are they, what do they do? How are they helpful?

An RSS feed is basically a way to easier send content to your audience.  Let's say you have a blog you update every 2-3 days, but can occasionally be inconsistent on.  If you have an RSS feed (most Wordpress-like sites have this built in), people can put the link to your feed into an RSS reader (such as Feedly) and get your content automatically at a time of their choosing.  People still get your message, without simply checking your site and hoping for an update.  It doesn't just have to be type-written content either...podcasts operate the exact same way.

Does that help?
