I was just talking to Josh about how much traffic I get to my blog from BiggerPockets, and he asked me if I'd post the information to give others an idea of how valuable BiggerPockets is in terms of helping me get readership and build my personal network.In January, I had just over 11,000 unique visitors to my site.

I copy and paste the data fields from the database to mail mergeMail merge makes the letters personalized which increased readership and response.
