Build Blog Products That Sell #3 (this one's close to my heart...)

Hi Reader,

How's your blogging week been?

I hope it's been full of all the little things that as a blogger we sometimes take for granted, but are the reason we get into blogging: the content creation, personal connection, feedback from our audience and hopefully some income.

This week's blog post is very close to my heart because it speaks to all the little things we need to do to keep chipping away at making an impact with our blogs.

In my story about becoming a problogger I talk about how:

You have to take it one step at a time

Today's article brings all that into focus in the process of product creation.
