Write for an audience of other dentists. If you have a lot of experience, relay it to them. That would seem like something other dentists could certainly use.

But commenting to build relationships, now that makes sense. Thank you for the links and techniques your provide for this as well.

I love, also, how you perfectly illustrate the next step of what building these relationships mean. You mention them on your Problogger article.

It’s interesting watching how groups of people form and work together through blogging, Twitter and the rest.

Wonderful to meet you. I look forward to reading more.

I’m in law school right now and I’m hoping that I won’t ever have to be a lawyer (if that makes sense), so I can completely relate to the “making a buck your own way” philosophy. My student loans tend to steer me away from that dream, but one could always hope.

It’s difficult, for me, to overcome the stigma that comes from telling people that I write a “blog” (Cue “Oh, isn’t that cute” face). I find myself telling my friends it’s a “website” for some reason.

Anyway, thanks again. The article made me feel less alone in this sea of opinion. Keep it up.

Back to god-awful statutes. ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Why should someone read something that doesn´t give them anything back?

I don´t mean that all authors must always inform, educate or entertain their readers.

We can help many people with our words in many ways if we know what we are talking about, and if we have a purpose.

However, there are many people online writing and writing, while their words are totally empty… I believe that if someone doesn´t have any knowledge or talent, they have to learn something, research, and find what to present to the public, before daring to post publicly whatever they wish to.

I think that if you want to write about your personal life, your thoughts and your opinion, you must be a writer, and have the talent to make simple things seem to be very special, otherwise you are not going to present anything meaningful to the public.

About my blog, I don´t know if this is OK to post its url here, because I rarely have the time to visit this blog… It could be considered spam or something. But I can assure you that my work is very serious, and the knowledge I give to the public is precious.

However, I don´t have the necessary connections… the topic of your article. I´m alone, and I´m not in the US, I´m in Europe… And when I think about reading the blog posts of other bloggers, I think “when will I have time for that too?”

All extraordinary plans are always smashed by the cruel reality full of impossibilities… But we have to be heroes, and find time for everything.

Thank you Jenny, for your excellent advice! I will follow it like a good student, because each time I do what I learn here I see positive results without a doubt. This blog is really fantastic! This is why it is so famous. I always come here after finding a link to problogger into a forum or another blog… because its links are everywhere!

I was thinking a lot about what Jenny suggests after reading this blog post.

In order to have a business relationship with another blogger, I´ll have to find the kind of blog that gives information that could fit with the information I´m giving, and then read their blog posts, leave my comments, appear there frequently, etc. This is how we build a relationship…

I have to prepare a better plan… And mainly, act!

I´m glad because each time I come here (like a turist who reads a few things and leaves…) I always learn something important. This is why I decide to often come back here each time I visit this blog…

Write for those that will read it.

Write because you know how important fresh, unique content is to the web and you know without the spiders finding that content, no human is going to accidentally end up on your blog or website.

Write because you want to!

wow, that’s impressive!

I do comment from time to time, but I simply tend to forget. In my experience, you’re correct that the more genuine comments are the best way to go, and that is the way I always approach it, but, again, I’m always so focused on me, me, me, that I often don’t even think about taking the time to comment.

Definitely something to work on.

Thanks for the inspirational advice. That’s what I needed. Check out my blog if you have time and tell me what you think!

Forgive me also if my idea is outdated or something like that – I´m only a turist at this blog; even though each time I come here I decide that I have to come back often, my activities and the lack of time make me forget this decision…
