How I think I increased blog traffic by 500% and other blogging tidbits

I have spent the last couple months testing and practicing blogging and content marketing strategies with the Funnelholic. My brother Paul wanted to learn online marketing so he signed up to help. People have been noticing the changes and asking me about some of things I have been doing so I decided to write them down.eat your own dogfood

Dear Craig: “Eat your own dog food” — I help clients with their content marketing and social marketing strategy. I needed to be a better role model with the Funnelholic. It’s been fun trying new things and passing them along to others.
