Blogging Alternatives for Franchisees
I often hear from franchisee businesses who want to blog, but as franchisees they don't have the same options as single location businesses. Franchisors may have strict restrictions on what franchisees can put out there, and for good reason. If an individual franchisee goes "rogue" and does s...

This is More Important Than Blog Post Length
The most common question I hear about business blogging is, "How long should a blog post be?" A response I've heard from other business blogging experts is, "As long as it takes to get your message across." I agree with that, though I do give people something to aim for by suggesting 500 word...

Hi Stuart,
I wouldn't minimize the importance of your friends, followers and connections - you definitely want them to keep visiting your blog! After all, they're the people who are most likely to share your content with their own networks, which will extend your visibility and hopefully attract new readers for you.
Guest blogging is certainly another way to attract new readers. First I would start by finding the blogs that have a similar audience and purpose to yours, and then build relationships with those bloggers on social media and/or by commenting on their posts.
Good luck!
All the best,
Linda
