Wow, really good stuff. I probably wouldn’t have “got it” myself if not for the personal trainer analogy. Thanks!

I “think” that I have found my niche, but in order to get good reviews/make readers want to be interested in my blog, I put much effort into my blog, and try to reply to comments with atleast an hour.

Yeah. It is natural in the beginning that you don’t like or you are not satisfied with what you write on your blog. But gradually as you get more experience and knowledge, you feel more confident and contented about what you have written.

Hi,

I would say, it will provide tremendous amount of value to people who are beginning to write or thinking about writing or new to blogging.

This blog is truly an inspiration for people in every aspect of life. “Think like a blogger”.

It reminded me of one of my friend. It was my first software company and I had a new friend, he had done his masters from UK. There was an English competition on many aspects in our entire company, even directors participated in that.

My friend won the contest, he got 43 points out of 50 and the runner up was our company’s top director, who scored 32. Let me tell you, our top director was very much recognized in USA and in fact the whole world. This was a big achievement for my friend, I must say.

I got inspired by this person and later on we became good friends. I used to keep bugging him with my queries on improvement in English. Once, while having a fag, he gave me the most influential tip, he said, “Start thinking in English”.

I could not understand immediately the true meaning of what he said. But, with more discussions, I understood the concept and idea behind it.

I am from India and my mother tongue is Hindi, so, whatever I used to think till that day, was in Hindi. Yeah, I guess, its but natural. Anybody would think in his mother tongue. So, I used to do no different. But, since that day, I consciously started making efforts of thinking in English.

Same idea goes behind this post, ” Think like a blogger”.

I hope you find my English satisfactory.

With regards,
Vaibhav

I’ve got the mistakes thing down perfectly.

But, I also suffer from being too original and not being nasty enough. I really think if I wasted a few posts telling horrible bloggers what I really think of them, traffic would explode. Unfortunately, I come from the school of “if you don’t have anything nice to say…”

Err.. It took me an hour to read and understand this post. And another two hours to read the comments.

I think I spent all my “blogging time” for today. Not having writen a single line of course.

I am definitely on the right path, I guess.

I also run a few blogs and blog daily on a number of different topics. I have found the best way to stay fresh and come up with new things to blog about is to open up my little number of sites. It is real easy to just stay with a few sites. Even though there are billions of webpages out there, most people only have about a dozen or so sites that they regularly visit. I make a habit every day of going outside my little box and look for new and exciting things I knew nothing about.

Thanks for your wonderful blog. I love it.

It’s nice to see in writing the process a pro blogger went through to get from ‘what should I blog about’ to having it be second nature…as for anything else in life if you do something often enough you won’t have to think about the mechanics anymore…persistance is the key

Great great tips shared there Darren :)

Planning and setting up goals as a blogger is one of the important factors, which i usually think to implement by myself.

It is easy to read and hard to be done. However, I will try to practice it in everyday life of my life as a blogger – hope so :D

Thanks, great post.

Wonderful post! I’ve been blogging for 9 months now and at first it was just for fun. Then I decided to get more serious about it. I stressed to much about post topics that I couldn’t think of anything. I nearly dropped it and I’m glad I did it. I returned to my neglected blog simply because I enjoyed it.

I blog about what I love. Everything else is secondary.

I agree with the comments above. Very useful post! But what exactely did you mean by “developing relationships with other bloggers”? Just get in touch with them? To do what exactely?

This is a great post, so timely for me as well. I feel like I’ve backed myself into a corner with the very specific niche I’ve chosen to blog in and I’m still not sure what route to choose – revamp the whole thing or start a new blog to write about the other things I am interested in.
I’ve only been at this for about 2 months and find that I have enough to say for 3 to 5 posts a week in this one area, but that I have other things that I’d like to do.
Any recommendations as far as re-vamping a blog, similar interest but broader appeal?
Thanks
