Hey guys, if you have not already heard of SuzanneFranco.com (where have you been the last month?) seriously she is everywhere and making connections like you have never seen! We can all learn from her success and hopefully this review of her blog will help you all understand why she is doing so fantastically!

I want to go on record by saying that Suzanne Franco did not pay me to review her site. I decided to do it because we have become friends and that’s just what friends do!

On with the review we go…

In this review I have several things I want to cover such as design, content and of course my thoughts. However before I get into that I think you all should know a little bit about Suzanne and her blog! Here is a small snippet I grabbed from her site.

I am mom to 3 awesome kids ~ Austin 12, Nathan 10 and Emily 9 and soon-to-be stepmom to yet 2 more ~ Alyssa 8 and Cobey 6. We live in the Texas Hill Country where I work from home and enjoy running several online businesses.

I have a true passion for helping others live their dream of working from home too. If you currently work from home and could use some pointers on promoting your business online or if you would like to be working from home but do not really know where to start, just take a look at the pages on the top left or browse by category and I am certain I can help in some way.

I am happy to say that Suzanne not only does this well but she goes over and above to help people who frankly… I might not give the time of day to.

I think the fact that she is a mother of 3 she has tons of patience and is able to help people even when they don’t get it! What else can I say, Suzanne simply put is “A Great Gal To Know, Work With And Have As A Friend”. I for one am honored to be in the friend class with her as she stated on her blog in this post (at the bottom).

Blog Design

When I first saw Suzanne’s blog I actually had a bad taste in my mouth. I always critique websites that don’t display right (she still has not fixed that problem) but I do believe she will soon enough.

However after reading a couple of her posts and her about page I realized that she lived in Texas like I do. I thought it would be great to connect to another blogger who lived in the same state as someday I would like to start a Texas bloggers meet up where bloggers from Texas meet up for a weekend or something.

So anyways, I decided to email her I went to her contact page and sure enough she makes it simple to contact her and she is more then willing to answer questions and help people out. So I sent my email off to her and waited (a couple hrs tops) before I received a reply from her.

I emailed back and forth with her a couple of times and before I knew it we just seemed to hit it off. We both love blogging, making money and our families. I have not told her much about my family yet (been busy like crazy) but that will come in time I suppose.

I guess the moral of the story here is “Don’t judge a book or blog by its cover. Just because it has some messed up elements does not mean the blogger behind it does not have there act together. Its quite often the other way around”.

Anyways about her design…

Its a very sleek and good looking blog (aside from the ie6 display issue I have “yes I still use ie6 and I always will”). I quite like the green color she chose to use throughout her blog and her header is simply awesome.

In case for some odd reason her blog won’t load for you here is a screenshot of it.

 I also really like the looks of her subscribe section, its actually what gave me the idea to tweak mine. Its something different, it stands out and I for one am a huge fan of it! I can see this starting a chain re-action!

Blog Content

So Suzanne’s blog is up-to par but hows her content? Well I’ll tell you, its amazing! I don’t see many bloggers taking the time to really write great content these days in the mmo niche. I think that’s why most of the blogs fail within the first few months.

In my opinion you can tell a blog is going to make it or break it within 3-4 months of being up. Suzanne’s outlook on blogging is perfect for the mmo niche and I would bet that is why she is doing so well. Don’t let her fool you though, she only provides great content so you will subscribe!

Her content is always good and its easy to read because she writes it so well. Here are a couple of my most favorite posts that she has written on her blog that I have had time to read!

• 21 Ways to Increase Your RSS Subscribers
• Guru Roundup Update … Wow! This Is Fun!
• Top 7 Home Business Ideas
• Video Blogging, Vblog, Vlog … New on the Blog!

This is just a taste of what she offers at her blog on SuzanneFranco.com be sure to check it out and subscribe to show your support for her awesomeness!

Seriously though, her content is always unique, well written and very professionally done. Its quite often some of my favorite content to read and I am a daily reader to her content now. I suggest you sign up to her RSS as well if you want to be “In The Know”. 

My Final Thoughts

I have said it before and I will say it again… Suzanne Franco is a great blogger and I look up to her ability to help people with the up-most regard. Not only is she a great blogger, mom and business woman but she is also a great person right down to her soul.

I encourage you to visit www.suzannefranco.com today and be sure to let her know you found her blog through IBB. I bet all of you become readers of her blog because she can really help you just as I try to do myself.

Oh and one last thing, here is a small video Suzanne made for all of you!

God Bless and enjoy!
