And what a challenge it is...but encouragement to break out of the internet marketing/blogging/social media niches into something else perhaps?
A good reminder that we need to think outside the box. I love helping people to come up with interesting blog topics for their specific blogs (which are generally not blogging about blogging blogs). But I do struggle with my own sometimes...
Makes you wonder at what point you should upgrade your hosting? In anticipation? Or after the fact. I did have to laugh at this though...
Another top quality article, packed with information. I am also heading off to develop my content strategy now thanks to this, Maki
It is reassuring to see that successful internet entrepreneurship defies age. It sounds so easy to 'find that gap in the market' and fill it but it isn't. And being second just won't cut it (look at all the Million Dollar Homepage wannabies who jumped on the bandwagon after it had started moving).
Is that a matter of skill? Luck? Or both?
Some good advice on how to get your posts noticed when your reader is doing their daily RSS scan. Thanks for finding this.
A few good alternatives here. But as with most lists - the way to make it work is to try one or two at a time - otherwise the result is just overwhelm!
Hmmm - not tried it yet, but I do know that BlogRush hasn't exactly caused a rush for me.
Is it worth giving it a bit more time? Or is BloggingZoom doomed for the Web 2.0 graveyard?

Nice article - generosity is definitely underrated. Ok, it is done as a marketing exercise in the examples provided here, but given the choice between marketing with kindness or marketing with selfishness (i.e. shouting at you to get noticed) I would go for the former any day.
A post after my own heart - why is it so difficult to just do it right???
Contrary to popular belief, networking and getting traffic are two different things - I think this is a really well written post explaining that.
It's easy to get complacent when your site is small or your blog doesn't have many readers. You just never know though - it is worth being prepared. Thanks for sphinning...
Great post and it brings to light an unfortunate, but unavoidable point - as soon as people see there is money involved, suddenly any tactic goes - good or bad. That seems to be exactly what has happened with Search Engine Optimisation, and I don't doubt it will happen with social media as well.
All we can do is to keep producing great content and crossing our fingers that it will prevail!
How reassuring to see the UK is starting to catch up with the USA. Three cheers for the UK blogosphere. Thanks for finding this.
That definitely made me smile - just goes to show how simple it actually is (so why do we make it all so complicated?) Thank you for submitting this - it brightened my morning.
Nice to see a article which addresses both online and offline - now, to just put them all into practice...
We all make these mistakes - I suppose it just depends how long we take to learn from them. Great article - might save me making a few more!
I think the combination is the happy middle ground. Personally, I would find it tough to blog if I didn't love it. But I would find it tough to make a living if I didn't try and make something from it...
Definitely a post which you can keep going back to time and time again for a bit more advice. Really comprehensive.
I like Problogger's balanced articles - he has some great points here, and I like the way he has also linked to another post which gives the alternative view i.e. how commenting can hurt your reputation rather than help it.
I think the idea is to provide quality content, not crap? Unless I am mistaken of course...
The point about advocating each other is sound. One of the best ways to get found is to network in your niche.
Great 'come back down to earth' article. Won't stop us trying though...
