I asked her to keep us posted here to let us know how it went along the way.

If you missed her other posts, you can catch up here:

• Update: Blog Tour Case Study

And, this is her final update, now that she's done.

Whew, it has been a very exciting Summer and beginning of Fall.

Now that the blog tour has been completed, I wanted to give you and update and share my results.

In a nutshell:

This was an incredible experience and some fantastic things have come about as a direct result of my participation in a blog tour. I could not have accomplished what I did, were it not for Nicole's incredible Blog World Tour Planner.

Nicole, thank you for the inspiration and for the opportunity to share with your readers. I'd like to list some of the incredible things that have come about as a result of my participation in this blog tour.

Since the launch of my blog tour in mid-June I have:

– Learned how to set up and participate in a blog tour as a guest blogger and a host of guest bloggers

– Teamed up with several of my participants for what will become a seasonal blog tour journey

– Interviewed each of my guest bloggers and featured them on my Web radio show

– Set up a site to feature each season, moving forward. My publisher has asked me to create a book series from this content! ConversationsAboutMarketing.com

– Received book reviews from several of my guest bloggers!

– Learned how to set up and monitor Google Analytics

– Discovered a formula for driving new traffic to my site and having that traffic and my subscribers increase significantly, each week

– Have had thousands of new visitors to my sites

– Have added over 150 new subscribers to my list

– Had a lot of fun, met some amazing people, grown my list and increased my income and my opportunities

Thank you SO much Nicole, for your encouragement as well as for putting together such a valuable guide to guest blogging!

With much appreciation,
D'vorah Lansky

This week, I have one of my best friends in the whole world with me – Susanne Myers of Niche Affiliate Research Packs and HillbillyHousewife.com.

Not only is Susanne a great friend, but she is a brilliant marketer. She's been behind-the-scenes making a living with niche sites for several years, but has recently started sharing her marketing knowledge as well, so I quickly grabbed her for this interview.

The audio recording of our interview is at the end of this blog post. Just look for the “play” button and listen. It’s free!

Here's more about Susanne in her own words so you can see why I think she's cool:

Susanne Myers has been making a full-time income as an Affiliate Marketer for the past three years.

Until recently she has only occasionally brainstormed with a few close friends and her only student was her husband who was also able to quit his day job 2 years ago.

But, that's starting to change with the launch of her new site selling Affiliate Niche Research Packs that you may have seen me promoting here.

Susanne also wrote a guest post here awhile ago, that I'd like to recommend you check out: Tools that Help you Make Money with an Affiliate Program

“Must Have” Online Business Tools Recommended by Susanne:

Warmly,
Nicole Dean
