Hi Nate
I am just going through your how to blog tutorial and have a question. My website has art and home decor and giftware on it. Odviously I should have a blog about one or all of the categories on my site, correct.
That’s correct – as long as you are consistent at blogging, you can benefit from a blog on ANY website. Make sure to subscribe to the free newsletter at http://MollerMarketing.com.
