Tinybuddha is one my personal favorite self improvement blogs. I like it because it offers so many different viewpoints from so many different people. I had a chance to catch up with Tinybuddha founder Lori Deschene about how she grew took the site from being just a twitter account with 100,00 followers to a blog and book deal.

  • The Importance of Knowing Why You Are Writing About Your Topic

  • The Best Traffic Building Strategy of All Time
  • Using Twitter Search to Generate Content That Gets Shared
  • The Key Things that Publishers Look forĀ  When Turning a Blog Into a Book
  • How She Uses Facebook to Generate Content and Engage her Audience
  • The Power of Cross Platform Sharing

Awesome interview, Srini. Thanks for sharing Tiny Buddha and Lori Deschene with me. I already was aware of her and Tiny Buddha ("had her on my radar"), and your interview has put her way in the center of my radar screen now.

Oh, and remember that I found YOU and your guidance for Tom's University on Craigslist.

Thanks,

Tom
