Hi! My name is Kristi Hines, and I am an online marketing consultant, freelance writer, professional blogger and social media enthusiast who now offers services for businesses and bloggers!

Kikolani is home to my blogging tips and blog marketing advice catered to personal, professional, and business bloggers alike. You’ll find posts on blogging, business, SEO, and social media as well as my eBook on Blog Post Promotion. But it doesn’t stop there!

As I mentioned, in addition to maintaining this site with my own posts and some great pieces from guest bloggers, I am a freelance writer, covering a wide range of related topics including online marketing, social media, and search optimization. Some places you might have spotted my writing include KISSmetrics, Social Media Examiner,Search Engine Watch, Crazy Egg, Sprout Insights, and SEM Group.

When I’m not cranking out articles, my personal pursuits include photography, tennis, and hiking. You can find my latest photos on Photostry which includes a collection of HDR, urbex, wildlife, and landscapes.

Want to follow me elsewhere online? No problem. I’m most active on Twitter, Google+, and LinkedIn. I have a lot of other profiles out there, but these are the ones you’ll most likely get the fastest response.
