Originally published October 25, 2010 and republished as a BlogcastFM Classic on December 22, 2011. In our survey, some of you had asked us to do a segment where we follow a blog in progress, so we did. April and I spoke shortly before BlogWorld. She was the winner of the 1-hour consulting session that we gave away here at BlogcastFM.  When I spoke to April, her blog was only one month old. She took just one of the ideas from the consulting session that I did with her and got some phenomenal results. Here are some highlights from our chat:

• Going Through the Forums in Your Niche to Identify Key Problems You Can Solve 
• How She Went from 20 People Reading Her Blog to 800 Visits in One Day by Writing a Series
• How the Series She Wrote Resulted in 11-13 Email Subscribers Per Day
• Why the Series Put Her on the Etsy Must Read for Success List (like a guest post on Problogger for her niche)
• Positioning Your Series in Such a Way that It is Incredibly Appealing to Other Bloggers (even when you are the smallest blogger)
• The Keys to Making Sure that Nobody Participating in Your Joint Series Drops the Ball
• How Even a Small Group of Writers Collaborating Can Reach a Large Audience
• The Amazing Relationships that Resulted from Writing a Joint Series
• Using the Power of Small Bloggers to Connect with Big Bloggers
