  • Congratulations, April. Now off I go to read the rest.

    I read your tips, and I think you are spot-on. One thing I would add, is consistency. I tend to post every few days for a stretch of time, and then life gets busy, and I abandon the blog for months at a time. Not a good idea for building readership!

    • Thank you! I definitely agree with that one. I'll have to remember that for my next 10 tips.
