Marketing advice

Every week I receive dozens* of emails asking me, "Charles, you run a very successful blog, and I'm sure that marketing your blog is a big part of that success. Could you therefore share some of your marketing tips with your readers?"

* Actual figure may vary.

Well, I always like to listen to my readers, so this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog shares a few useful tips for anyone looking for marketing advice.

1) Know your audience

The first rule of marketing is know your audience. So for example if you're renting out a flat for £15,492 per month, then that makes it ideal for the budget of your average student!

Student: "£15,492 per calendar month. That's just what I'm looking for!"

A list of lists

This week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog features some of my favourite lists. And as there's several of them, that makes it a list of lists!

1) List One

The three hardest things to say:

1) I was wrong.
2) I need help.
3) Worcestershire sauce.

Funny football quotes (part 17)

This weekend brings good news for football fans with withdrawal symptoms over the summer, because a new season of the Premier League starts today!

We've managed to obtain a photo of the footballer
that David Pleat was referring to.

As has become customary, the Charles Fudgemuffin blog celebrates the new season by bringing you another collection of amusing football themed quotes from players, managers, and pundits.

1) “He is an interesting player ... short back legs.”
...David Pleat

And what about his front legs? Are they short as well?



2) “That kind of natural understanding doesn’t develop naturally.”
…Kenny Cunningham



3) “I will never forget my first game for England at the World Cup. It was against Turkey. No, I mean Tunisia.”
…David Seaman

Things that unintentionally made me laugh (part 5)

Regular readers of the Charles Fudgemuffin blog may be aware that on some occasions I find amusement in things that aren't intended to be funny. This week's blog post is another round up of items fitting that description.

1) Dog drawing contest

To start things off, here's a dog drawing contest that made me laugh.

"Remember that the winner of this contest was chosen through likes."

Personally, I don't understand why they felt the need to clarify how the winner was chosen. Surely the artistic brilliance of the winner would have shone through whatever method they used?

Random thoughts (part 13)

This week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog takes a look at a selection of random subjects, including energy drinks, weather forecasts, and social media. As this is the 13th such collection of random thoughts, I've cleverly entitled it, 'Random thoughts (part 13)'.

A bald man.

Editor: "Charles, was the caption really necessary? I think the
readers can work out for themselves that it's a bald man."

1) Bald curiosity

When bald men wash their face, how high up do they go?

2) Breaking news

If liars pants really did catch on fire, then watching the news would be a lot more entertaining!

3) Cool idea

I wish there was a way to use your phone to text someone, but instead of typing what you want to say, you would just say it out loud into the phone and the other person could hear you and they could just talk back to you out loud.
