There are a ton of podcast out there and when Jason asked to interview me for his own show, I was delighted. The tables are turned this time around and I thought I’d give you some insight on some very relevant information about travel blogging.

The thing that screamed at me Will looking at your notes above is picking a social network which means something to you. I tweet on and off thru the day cause I love the network! I spend little time on FB because it does not make a difference to me. Hanging a bit more on Google Plus but Twitter is my difference maker. Tweeting, engaging, making friends and building bonds has helped me boost my Blogging from Paradise traffic and it’s also helped me build my brand online. Twitter is so easy too; just talk, darnit! LOL….
