A Compact Disc of Blogs
Why expect to be successful if you follow the blogging herd? No blogger succeeds by doing what most bloggers do. Most bloggers fail. Following failure accelerates your failure. Copying failing bloggers guarantees you fail, too. The herd struggles. Following their lead by doing what they do with a similar energy positions you to fail, too. …
I read a comment a few moments ago. Someone promoted their business via the spam comment. The individual claimed to publish a useful comment because comments serve their purpose as useful conversation starters, being 100% related to the blog post. But the comment promoted a business. The business seemed to be related to an off-color …
Open-minded bloggers prosper. Close-minded bloggers struggle. I intend to be as open-minded as humanly possible. Being open-minded lets me seize and use opportunities to prosper by helping human beings. Sazzadul invited me to guest post on his rocking blog. I gobbled up the opportunity immediately.

I did not ask for links in return. I asked for nothing in return. I helped bloggers. Bloggers bonded …
I scanned my email a few moments ago. A handful of people pitched me business opportunities. A few of the folks followed up once to see if I had read the prior email. I rarely read email. I set up my blog to be a passive income generator. I care less and less about emails …

Blogging is not terribly difficult to understand. Create helpful content. Build strong connections with people who enjoy your blog and with fellow bloggers in your niche. Of …
