Darin’s note: I have followed the moves of Neil Patel for some time now, as he arose from almost nothing to virtual stardom in marketing. I share his tips for gaining traffic, but I want to point…

Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

While many are starting to ask me for blogging advice, I often find myself turning to Darin L. Hammond’s ZipMinis blog for advice. This post by Darin is interesting because many of the pointers are things that I try to incorporate when writing my blog. The topics I cover on my blog are niche topics, so I don’t expect the traffic proposed in this article–yet. Perhaps in time, and applying some more of these pointers, I’ll be able to get those kinds of numbers. But do read these over–they provide some great insight on the mechanics of writing a good blog and driving up interest.

Aw, you’re welcome, and thank you for your blog as well! I gain so much insight to blogging from yours, and I’m more than happy to share the information. Are you aware that you have been integrated (and referenced) in my latest webinar? Hopefully it’s bringing you a few more followers. Keep up your great work as well! It’s an intelligent analysis of the blogging process, and that’s why I like reading it and referencing it.
