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

  9. Jesse says:

    All this blog worshipping is driving me crazy!

  10. Ecko says:

    one is not enough, so that’s why you give three to us. Thanks a lot, Darren…

  11. great tips from some great bloggers! I haven’t tried doing anything crazy yet, but that’s not a bad idea from Steve Pavlina!

  12. Thomas says:

    Awesome! Thanks so much for this one!

  13. bondox says:

    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.

  14. Guillermo says:

    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.

  15. 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.

  16. Kok Choon says:

    Great tips! Write content for real people and not search engine…!

  17. Jeff says:

    good stuff. Thanks, Darren. I think that’s the first video interview I’ve seen with Pavlina.

  18. 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.

  19. Awesome tips…particularly Steve’s….Experimenting – I do the same kind with my food blog where I try out the recipes before posting them so that i can be sure that its edible lol!

  20. Mana Tulberg says:

    I love these guys. Met all 3 at BlogWorld 2008. Thanks for the video.

  21. Probably Jeremy’s advice is the best.

    Content is meant to be for people, not for SEs…

  22. Karl Hadwen says:

    Hey, Great video and advice for people just starting out in blogging, I’ve only been blogging for a month or so now but in the past I’ve been doing affiliate marketing, I’m 16 years old and trying to get more experience in blogging check my blog out over at http://www.genxor.com

    Regards
    Karl.

  23. Ryan McLean says:

    Great tips Darren. I always like your video posts. I totally agree with Shoe, don’t right search engine friendly visitor turn off posts. Without visitors, your blog is worthless.

  24. Henry says:

    Steve short and sweet please
    it was a great video, I really liked Jeremy’s tip

  25. Great tips! I like the fact that you video taped them and they were the ones that spoke about their experience.

  26. Denise says:

    These were some great tips/advice that Steve, Jeremy and Andy gave. Made a special note. Need all the help I can find. Thanks for sharing Darren.

  27. Daniel Kemp says:

    Steve Pavlina likes to talk.

    “Own the topic.” is a cool point.

  28. amirulcyber says:

    Steve pavalina is very good in wiriting.When you read his article you will impress with him.

  29. 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.

  30. Vincent says:

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

  31. Cheryl Janis says:

    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

  32. Good advice, especially the tip from Steve Pavlina. Shoe was great too…I have been following his blog for a long time.

  33. As usual, Steve Pavlina presented a lengthy blah blah blah!

  34. Short, succinct videos work so well in covering events. Good example to show clients who want to do their own event coverage.

    Don’t you just love that Flip?

    Great tips, too. :-)

  35. lazy drunk says:

    Great stuff. And great advice

  36. TheScrutiniser says:

    If anyone has to be told those “tips” then you should really find something else to do.

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

    Darren: Have you run out of things to say?

  37. 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.

    Vote now at The Political and Financial Markets Commentator at http://politicsandfinance.blogspot.com

    Presidential Poll: Vote Here Now!!!

    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.

  38. 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.

    Kenney

  39. 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.

  40. Dimitri says:

    Well, I really wonder now what kind of crazy things can you do with an ordinary shed?

    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…

  41. Angel Cuala says:

    Very well shared. This is the first I saw a video of Steve Pavlina, and I did not realized that he does not only write a lot, he talks a lot too.

    Thanks!

  42. 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.

  43. Heather says:

    Looks like really short hair helps too! Damn, that cuts me out.

  44. Scott says:

    Great video, it helps reinforce my thoughts of about starting up a blog, that content is key but also useful information.

    Thanks for the vid

    Steven Pavlina will be Steven Pavlina.
    Even in the Video, he manages to get almost the whole footage

  47. Awesome! Thank you for this great video Darren. Great tips from some great bloggers! I haven’t tried doing anything crazy yet, but that’s some great idea from Steve Pavlina.

  48. panca says:

    I like shoemoney style, and always visit shoemoney.com regularly, thanks for sharing…nice video

  49. Takumi86 says:

    i know only shoemoney from this list, and never heard the two other one, nice to see these success story, hope i could be the one someday..

  50. 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.
