These are great insights especially, the thought of doing something crazy. Just curious, what are you using to edit your spots?

I’m a fan of Jeremy, and I like him very well with his money making tips he do teach.
While I enjoyed most of my time on probloggernet blog. I am still finding it hard to get my foot on the right path in blogging.
Blogging seems so easy but as well demanding.
I thought my http://blogblazon.com blog will get to some point someday at least if not compete with top blogs, it will do well in the blogsphere.
I know it is possible, but how possible is what I do not know. I want help on improving it though.
Thanks Darren for this video.

Thanks so much for sharing this! Another title for this video can be: “Show me how you talk and I’ll tell you if I’ll read it or not!”
Steve, buddy… to the point man! To the point!!!!
I’ll certainly visit the other two blogs.

Good advice, especially the tip from Steve Pavlina. And even if wild and crazy experiments like his self-inflicted sleep deprivation aren’t your style, it’s still an approach you can use. We are all constantly experimenting with our approaches to writing, looking for ways to write better and more efficiently. Next time you try something new, especially something you think most of your readers haven’t tried or considered, keep track of all the details: what works, what doesn’t. Then give your readers a play-by-play so they can learn from your experience.

Awesome tips. I especially like the one from Steve about trying experimentations. I think will start to incorporate them into my blog since I have a feeling some of my readers would love them.

Yeah I like Steve’s idea. I’ve done this before and know someone who is doing it right now. Sharing your experiences openly can make you a credible testimonial for a product especially if the results are good.

This video is cool. Steve Pavlina’s speak like his writings, in real long essays haha. No doubt he is a very good blogger.

It is very useful info; thank-you for sharing the short clip. I am the author of a growing blog, Planet Pink n’ Green (.com) and over the past year have experimented with different ways to increase traffic. I am a firm believer in good content, but there are so many variations as to what works for different people. And I’m finding that what may work for one blogger, doesn’t apply to another. What works for me is to always bring myself back to authenticity. That is where success (for me) lies and it’s powerful.– Cheryl Janis, author of Planet Pink n’ Green

Come on folks, there’s too much ass-kissing and regurgitation going on here – think!

Good morning:
Big fan of your blog. I am relatively new to blogging (about 4 months), and have picked up a lot of great tips. In any event, I am running a poll for the presidential election and am trying to get as broad a base of participants as possible. I know that your blog is not political, but this poll is not biased towards one candidate or the other. This is the information, and thanks again for all of the great ideas.

I am conducting this poll through Monday afternoon in order to get a feel for how the ordinary American as well as the exceptional American that reads this blog feels about the candidates going into Tuesday’s critical election.

Great post. And I love the addition of video blogging. It’s awesome.
Consistency. Link building. Building relationships (with readers & with other successful bloggers in your niche) are other important factors.

Hi Darren,
I recently had the opportunity to design some faces for the Flip Mino Camera for my YogaBabe Cafe store. So I posted a link in my blog to your videos here to show as a good example of quality and use. Thanks so much for posting that. If anyone reading this would like a custom face for your Flip Mino let me know.

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know, because I want to make our Idaho Wood Sheds blog better and more appealing. I am open for suggestions…

Posting a video about successful bloggers is indeed an subliminal extra tip here!. I like the fact that everybody has his own rules: blogging for people and not for search engines, stick to your topic or wild, wacky stuff, that is surprising the audience. Any of these could come up handy at a given time. What I dig the most in this post is that bloggers can share experiences with the community.

I have to agree the content is one of the most important keys and to stay within your niche if you want to succeed. I tend not to share my personal life on my blog, where the niche is ethical SEO blogger tips. I am thinking you may have to be a big player to work that one, but I would want my visitors to visit my blog for the blogging tips.

But the tips are obvious, but I think with all these Guru’s and big money makers around people think it’s more technical. You just need to enjoy what you are doing and the promotion and money will find you.

Great stuff Darren. My blog runs a bit contrary to what Wibbels says by “owning the topic”. It’s pretty much as potpourri blog about stuff I find interesting. Think i can achieve success with that formula?
Amy
December 2nd, 2008 11:35 am
The only tip I really got anything from was the first. Post for your readers, not for the search engines. But I think if you have to do something outrageous and potentially harmful to yourself just to get readers, they’re like those friends in school your mom told you weren’t worth having.
