20 tactics to kill the fast food habit - Fox News blogs picked it up, and it's going crazy

[Metroknow]

I did an interesting little experiment yesterday on Almost Fit. Well, in truth it was more of a "fix up" after I rethought my original post on quitting fast food. The first version was just too long, and after seeing it delivered to my inbox (yes, I admit it - I am on my own blog's mailing list), I realized nobody in their right mind would read the whole thing.

So, after thinking it over, I decided to revise history.

I broke the article in half and reposted it as two pieces last night, with a better headline. The result?

Fox News blogs picked up the second half, and it is going crazy on their site. It is approaching 300,000 page views on THEIR site. Mine? a trickle. LOL. But that's ok - it is SUPER exciting to see the message getting out there.

Novices are welcome. We all are, really, to one degree or another. It was through blogburst actually.

Okay, not to be the novice blogger here, but I'm the novice blogger. How did you go about being picked up by such a major site? Did you submit your post? Or did they just find it? Cause that's awesome.

(And it's a really good post with good info, so it's no wonder!)

Thanks - it has been stewing for a while now. And I agree - I really hope it helps others.

On the 300k - HA! Yeah, I did get a call from Will Smith to costar in his next film, The adventures of BlogBoy, but I turned it down. It was a little too Hollywood. I prefer to do some smaller films first to build street cred.

HA!
