This will sound a bit odd: Yesterday I had a conversation with my 80-year old self. She told me to “write write write” and then she added: “Take more interest in other people. Write about them, it doesn’t have to be about you all the time.” This post says pretty much exactly what she said to me yesterday. :D How odd!

(If you’re interested to talk to your 80-year old self and a bunch of other weird guides for some insight to your life, get a book called ‘Life Changes, Life Choices through image work’, it’ll tell you how.)

“Do you want to be famous? Do you want to be noticed? Do you want people to know who you are? Do you want to have more influence?”

yes yes yes and yes….

do I want to be stalked by fans? hassled by the paparazzi? the world to know about every minute detail of my life?
no no no

Be careful for what you wish for…

But either way I’m sure the million dollar pay packets may provide me good comfort.

..great post and great ideas…

This is really a great idea! I think that more people should do this, since there are quite a large number of blogs out there that are just starting out and have some quality content.

This would really boost ratings for them.

Thanks,

Richard

Thanks for the tips, Darren. I actually subscribed to SingForHim. Not because this was nature of the post (although it did not escape me that you did what you’re describing right in the very post), but because I’m a Christian blogger as well.

Anyway, this tip just about hits precisely on what I try to do with just about every post. Give a link to somewhere else off my site. My hope to drive traffic to others while helping people.

I’ve never thought to specifically write about people who’ve commented, though. Good stuff. Thanks! -CP

Darren, this is one of my favorites in the 31 Days series. I’ve added this post to my bookmarks so I will remember to implement some of these ideas. Thank you! :)

Well I followed this advice – and it has got me in all sorts of trouble….. Shouldn’t the advice have come with a health warning?

Here is my post…..

and look what happened….

Oh dear. Was that what was meant to happen or didn’t I follow the instructions properly?

I was thinking about something very similar to this last week. After reading this I finally decided to go ahead with it and posted about it on my anime blog. I’m still trying to decide if I should give it a try on my general fandom blog.

Thanks for giving me the little nudge I needed.

Good Karma! I like that thought and it’s always true that what goes around comes around.

Just yesterday I used an insightful reader comment as post fodder and, just like you mentioned Darren, he really appreciated. It’s small things like this that makes readers really appreciate the blog.

Thanks Darren,
I am going to try your tips before
this week is over. Start back to school
next week. The summer will be really over.
Also, I have met a lot of great people
from the comments on your blog.

Actually this was one of your tips
too. Thanks it has helped me a lot.
When they include the Website or
blog address after their name.
I write it down so I can visit later.

My Blog is Profitable Productive Blogging, and each week on wednesday I put out my list of Profitable Productive Posts featuring articles that caught my attention throughout the week. I also almost always include an article from one of my top commentators in the list.

Since starting this a little over a month ago it has brought in quite a good amount of traffic as many of the featured bloggers link back. Like you said “karma” what goes around comes around.

You make it easy to implement good ideas for my Egg Marketing Blog: all I have to do is put your ideas to work!

No, seriously, I’m very interested in the democratization of media, and love the idea of having the power to expose my readers to a few people. I’m going to do it weekly!

Not that Shoemoney.com needs anymore fame (he’s such a rock-star), but I just published a post about his post titled “On Shaving My Head”.

I thought it was appropriate because his post was so product focused and, as a product search-engine, it’s a little embarrassing that we don’t have any product offers for his favorite razor.

Enjoy the post:

I love promoting other bloggers which I find noteworthy and whom I can learn much from. Many a times, I find them coming back to my blog and becoming a member of my blog’s own community as well.

It is a truly satisfying experience to give love and receive love :D
