Inquiring minds are always looking for tips on how to grow their blogs. Some of the best advice I’ve found and that I share is often basic in nature, but effective when put to use.

The competition for the attention of hunters is heating up online and some folks are using quality hunting picture galleries to attract attention away from the competition. My personal favorites tend to be the galleries that are easy on the eyes, easy to navigate and the ones that have the best photos of trophy game. My favorite type of hunting is bowhunting for whitetails so I always love seeing great photos related to this hunting niche. Here are the best hunting picture galleries…

Today I decided to draft an interesting case study that may prove valuable for you and hopefully for your blog and business. What makes it valuable?

On June 25th, 2009 the world lost one of the most audience-effecting artists of a generation – Michael Jackson. Now, I am a big fan of Michael Jackson’s music and efforts in the entertainment industry. He was creative, innovative, and fearless when it came to crafting original art that he used to connect with arguably one of the largest audiences ever to exist. It was for this reason that I wanted to write a blog post about Michael Jackson. I didn’t want to write the standard “I was a huge fan of MJ” post so I thought I’d do what I always do and draw some parallels between Michael Jackson’s success, blogging, and being an entrepreneur.

The Web, right now, is the ultimate competitive environment for attention. Everybody on the Web has limited time (even if they spend 24 hours each day surfing Websites). It simply isn’t possible to view all of the quality content on the Web. So the battle is on for you to put out content and market that content so your Website can gain the attention of the limited resource you’re after – the attention of hunters.

And of course the ’05 season when they were just terrible (4-12 ugh), but it worked out because I harvested a nice 11 point at 1:30pm.

Hopefully a few of these tips and ideas will spark some inspiration for you and your hunting business. These tips and ideas are quick, short, and meant for conversation. Share your thoughts in the comments.

When it comes to launching a Website to go along with your hunting business, one of the questions you’re going to ask yourself is, “How do I market my site?”

I’ve learned quite a bit about segmenting and individual customer focus at my job as a direct mailer (cataloguer). It’s given me great insight into the world of what specific customers demand from companies as well as ways companies can determine how to promote and market each customer.

You’re an expert in the hunting world. You probably have an outfitting service, a hunting Website, or another hunting service of some kind. Why would you give away even part of your business for free? The answer is simple…
