I must say that this article cheered me up. Sometimes I just feel dissapointed, and re-evaluate my blog and myself.

@sean808080: I'm not that long in blogging (it will be a year soon), but I also noticed the same thing – sometimes it's so quiet and sometimes I can't manage to answer all emails and comments – althoguh I don't do anything different!

Very good advice. Some might be marketing geniuses and can figure out how to become famous quickly. But many others can succeed by plugging away at creating great content. That is the first step I believe. After you have a good deal of great content start following advice on how to market your blog effectivly. And keep creating great content.

What a great parallel you created. I so understand acting as my daughter has been acting in plays for quite some time.

I've only been blogging for a short time. I love when folks feature some of my posts.

Thanks for the reminder to constantly offer new and helpful advice to others.

Ugh - I hate it when the big guys cover a story already talked about another blog and get much more credit. Case and point: June 16th: http://www.matthewsdiehl.com/google/google-in-new... June 26th: http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/080626-095... Similar - I think so. However, being search engine watch definately has its benefits. Well, all we can do is continue to keep on keepin' on.

Great post Yuwanda. You raise some great points. I think some people forget that most successful bloggers have worked incredibly hard to get to where they are and many of them have been involved in the industry for years. You can't just assume that they got a successful blog or website or luck. Infact, I would say most successful webmasters learned the hard way : by making mistakes and learning from them.

such great advice here. as someone who has been blogging consistently for about 8 years, i have come to realize that like most other things, popularity ebbs and flows. what i mean is sometimes i'll have no readers and other times i'll be getting comments and attention without doing anything different.

another thing i've come to realize is that like everything else, it's a transaction of sorts. if you pay attention to other people's blogs, you'll find that your blog is getting attention back.

some great advice. tip of the hat to the bloggers who consistently share themselves either personally or professionally without expecting anything in return.

@Internet Marketing Joy: Come on, you can do it. You can move yourself into the 2% group.

Thanks a lot for this wonderful tips..^^ I have to admit sometimes I go jealous whenever I see blogs that have high PR plus a lot of subscribers..^^ but I guess I have to be more persistent with my blogging habits and always be open to new trends on blogging..^^

@Rhys: Sometimes the message may not suit your particular needs, but I've found that most top bloggers are very generous with their information. It can be hard to get "personal" attention, but digging through their archives and interacting with others on their blog helps.

Thanks for lending your point of view.

@Cassie: I think we all do that, ie, run across some good advice and then fail to follow through. It's just human nature. But, I've learned that it's not hard to succeed. In fact, it's relatively easy — if you're willing to get off your tukus and do what's required.

About 98% of the population doesn't do this, which is why those who do succeed seem so much smarter, talented and more brilliant than the rest of us. I'm trying to finishing moving my wannabe lazy butt into that other 2%.

I love every word! Especially the last two points. So many bloggers are trying to be someone or something they're not. They're trying to be like so many other successful bloggers and forgetting who they are in the process.

There's also the epidemic of not using the knowledge you're given. How many people buy ebooks, then read them, then let them sit and rot on their hard drives without ever putting what they learned to good use? I do it all the time! Same thing goes for blog posts. I get ideas all the time and write them down but in a lot of cases I forget about them or just don't do them out of pure laziness.

"They don’t talk about doing or sit around waiting to do. They . . . do." – The secret to the successful people's success!
