Marketing strategies, part 1

Reader Brian Wright e-mailed me this response to “Guilty as charged:”

Bill – You have some very good points in this article.  I wonder how we can increase readership of your blog?

Two ideas come to mind:

1. Consider changing the name of your blog to something like “The Homeless Blogger”
2. There are a number of newspapers that are by homeless people for the broader community.  We have one here in Columbus called Street Speech.  You could submit a weekly blog there.  Here is a partial list:  http://www.homeless.org.au/directory/news.htm

I plan to post a detailed response to Brian here in a few days. In the meantime, I’m wondering what ideas others may have? PLEASE COMMENT!
