Blogger Sean Kelly Moves to FranBest.Com

FranchisePick.com was launched in November, 2006, as one of original blogs in the newly-formed b5 media business channel (later renamed bizzia.com). I was one of the original b5 Business Channel bloggers, the only one of the 16 to be active on the bizzia channel up until today.
Since that time, I have published 1011 blog posts that generated 12,752 comments, often on controversial franchise topics and companies.
I recently received notice from b5 that, after tomorrow, Franchise Pick will no longer be published as a stand-alone blog, and that the Bizzia channel is being assimilated into the EveryDayJoe.com channel.
So far, I have been unable to reach anyone to ask them to reconsider or work out an arrangement that would allow me to maintain Franchise Pick.
So, after tomorrow, I will be blogging on franchise topics and companies on my blog, FranBest.com.
Please come visit me there, subscribe to my feed, sign up for my newsletter.
I will also be blogging at the other sites in the FranBest.com network, including TopNewFranchises.com, UnhappyFranchisee.com, FranchiseeMarketing.com, & FranchisorMarketing.com.
It’s been a great 3 years at Franchise Pick, but I guess it’s time to move on to a new venue. ![]()
Let’s keep the conversation going at FranBest.com, UnhappyFranchisee.com and TopNewFranchises.com.

Hi Sean, I’m sorry to see Franchise Pick go, but am glad that you’ll be moving to other venues. I’ll be following you, besides being educational your writing is unfailingly witty and often hilarious.
Luv ya,
Miki
Sure hope “Franchise Pick” isn’t being punished through the back door for too much “free speech” about franchising and franchisors.
First, your “Unhappy Franchisee Site” is hacked and now Franchise Pick is whacked
I think your “free speech sites” and you, Sean, with Franchise Pick and Unhappy Frasnchisee have good representation on Google Search under the subject matter of franchising but if the Bizzia Channel is being assimilated into EveryDayJoe.com, apparently, this is the end of Franchise Pick –but not the end of Sean Kelly, the highly talented writer of truth and the clever discloser of fiction and fun in the franchise community.
Who is the sponsor of EveryDayJoe.com? Guess I’ll take a look. See you later when I look in on Unhappy Franchisee.com and FranBest.com.
Happy.
It’s a bummer to see you moving on but I will follow on your new site as well. Thanks for all the great information on your blogs and I hope they continue on Franbest. Thanks.
