I caught Allan on his recent guest post at Problogger where he wrote about a concept that I learned about in business school. I knew the guy was quite business savvy after reading that so I asked him to spill everything he knew here on BlogcastFM. I think this interview makes a great wrap-up to this week’s interviews which unintentionally ended up being a series on running your blog like a business:

• Multiple Key Mistakes that Allan Made on his First Blog
• The Importance of Design and First Impressions
• Why You Shouldn’t Chase Fads For Your Blogging Growth
• The Importance of Focusing on One Strategy
• How to Create a Long Term Vision for your Blog
• The Importance of Targeted Traffic
• Why You Should be Strategic about Guest Posting
• Multiple Suggestions for Monetization
