My question: What is the most efficient way to get the word out there about your business blog without spending hours online posting, pinging, blog-hopping, etc.? Not that I mind spending time doing all these things (frankly, I LOVE reading what others have to say), but there ARE other tasks I must complete in order for my business to remain afloat, grow, and prosper. And, yes, DH does expect to be fed at least a couple times a week.

Hi Angela!
Great question!
The first thing bloggers should do is list their blog feed to as many directories as they can. This only needs to be done once for each directory. What happens is that each directory will then know when you update your blog and people that use directories to read blogs on certain topics will see your post.
Here’s an article that helps explain the process and how you can make this easier - http://www.successful-blog.com/ultimate-directory-handbook/
Here’s are a few links to lists of directories:

Don’t get overwhelmed… you don’t have to do them all at once! Just do a few a week and you should be good to go.
Another thing you want to do is to create conversation - ask your readers questions - treat your blog post like a forum post.
I hope this helps Angela, let me know if you need more information!
See you at the Expo!
Take care,
Wendy Cooper
