I read this about 8 months ago and I came back again to check it out as I am on day 2 of the 31 dbbb. Your post is so simple yet I don’t know if I would have realized it without coming here and reading it with my own eyes.

Thanks!

[...] 20 Types of Pages that Every Blogger should Consider – note the technique of using a small picture for each point on the list in this example. I’ve used this a number of times and it seems to work well at drawing readers eyes to points. I first learned the power of this technique in a post I wrote back in 2005 called 18 Lessons I’ve Learned as about Blogging. [...]

Hey Darren, thank you for such a nice informatory post on blogging. Only recently I had started to blog. Now I had learned a lot on what to do and what not to do when it comes to blogging. I will implement the good things from what I learned from this post.

Thank you!

Darren Rowse always make difficult thing to very easy and let upon to think twice before we are doing. Really great work is done by darren. Blogging is not easy task to make money from it, it requires hard work, luck and study to understand people’s mind.
Once you understand your power and people mind, all thing will go in your way.

Thank you so much for this!

Great tips and true inspiration. At some moments you sound like me…introverted, and yet a craving to be social in the online world. I’m sometimes discouraged, but you’ve provided to me a true insight to criticism and worshipers of the blog reading world.

Thank you!

Problogger,

After looking over your 18 tips blog I have to say, it is amazing! And not really surprising at the same time that you have been able to become a full-time blogger and make money at it (your good at it. I have read some of you stuff and still don’t know weather or not to give up on my blog. I started it originally for two reasons first because it looked cool (didn’t realize how hard it was) and secondly in hopes of sharing events that were happening in my life with family and friends. I too want to be successful, but not only do I fined myself with nothing to share, but I cant even figure out how to use the ad sense programs.
I will keep looking in on problogger in hopes that I have an epiphany. Thank you for taking the time to try to help all bloggers.

You have so many lesson in just 3 years, i’m so stumbled on how you can write that long. I personally can only have one lesson from blogging, which is make a good relationship with commenter, and do something new to your layout blog..

I was touched by the word: “You started just a week ago”. I am still a newbie i guess and all of you people out here had experienced blogging for more than 2 years now right?

I am losing hope now but i will try my best. Because as you have said. Make mistakes and be yourself. I have been writing for more than a month now and i was so proud that i get 1000 traffic in 1 month and i hope i could gain 2000 traffic this month.

Thank you

We have almost the same lessons learned in blogging, Mr. Rowse. Your points really coincide along with my points especially that of diversification, targeting a niche and being yourself. The moment I learned those lessons and started correcting my mistakes, I noticed a dramatic effect on the status of my blog. It has gained considerable traffic everyday and had allowed me to make a stable income. Other than that, I’ve made new acquaintances who are both co-bloggers and website developers.

I am currently thinking of becoming a full-time blogger.

Darren,

This is still great advice and I’m happy I took the time to read your tips.

It’s funny because on the list of things to do for tomorrow is to CLOSE all affiliate accounts that are not bringing in any revenues because managing so many programs seems to be a full time job.

I’m now exploring a few new methods of bringing in money and I’ve learn to set some timelines. So if after 3-4 months I get no results, I cut it out.

I’m actively looking for speaking gigs at present and trying to write a book to expend myself as an expert in my field.

I’m also trying to be a little more proactive with multi media platforms.

I’ve found ways of dealing with social bookmarking and I no longer stay up until 2am posting on them.

I’ve now officially just passed the 1 year mark and I’m confident that this coming year will be strong.

It made me feel a lot better when you said that when you started you were not making $10/mo. I’m making much more than that, but not nearly enough to qualify my blogging activities at full time income yet.

Thanks Darren, I’ve got to say that your content is dead on and so helful.

Miss Gisele B.
