How Many Posts Before You Promote

One of the most common email questions I get is, “How many posts should I have on my blog before I do promotions.” I’ve received ReviewMe requests from blogs with just two posts before so it would seem that you can’t start promoting soon enough.

Honey! I’m Home!

Man, it feels good to be back home! Don’t get me wrong, visiting Toronto, Montreal and Quebec was great. However, there really is nothing quite like home.

Rejecting ReviewMe Offers

It’s no secret that I get a ton of ReviewMe requests. It’s the old, “When it rains, it’s pours” analogy and the review request has been pouring in this month. However, some of the requests have almost nothing to do with what this blog covers. For example, I received a request from a site selling a “Resveratrol.” What the hell […]
