The survey was a great success and I will be contacting the book winners next Monday. Here are how the results have helped decide the improvements to Canadian Finance Blog…
- Readers want more info about investing, taxes and retirement. While Jim is providing some great retirement information, I will be be increasing the posts about investments and taxation. To provide the best information on these topics, I will be taking some courses through The Knowledge Bureau, starting with Tax Efficient Investment Income Planning.
- There was a lot of interest in a monthly newsletter with special content and exclusive giveaways. I’m hoping to get this up and running by the end of summer.
- Friday Links will stay on Friday and include 10 links a week, giving you only the best of the best from the past week.
- Saturday will include book excerpts that I will choose based on being effective as standalone posts. I already have some great publishers and self-published authors on board!
- Sunday will feature the Canadian Finance Carnival, where bloggers can submit their posts to gain some exposure and build links. Participating blogs do not have to be Canadian, but they do need to submit posts that are relevant to Canadians.
Over the last couple weeks the RSS reader count has been hovering in the high 900′s. I’m hoping that August is the month where we’ll reach the 1000 milestone! Do you use an RSS reader? If so, consider adding the Canadian Finance Blog RRS feed to your reader!
