Do Bloggers Read Enough?

How many blogs do you read? Does it matter if you’re a newbie (read more) or experienced (read less) blogger?

Here’s a preview of the topics covered:

  • Batch processing
  • 80/20 rule (As it relates to blogging)
  • Removing distractions
  • Much more!

Come check out my latest post at Thou Shall Blog, as well explore these questions among other relevant topics.

Thoughts and Reactions

  • Thou Shall blog is a place with a strong community- learn, give, share, find a mentor and so on.
  • I’m excited and honored to help new bloggers reach their blogging goals.
  • Yan is a stand up blogger, he can be trusted. There’s nothing like bloggers that are transparent- allowing yourself to be known by your audience is a significant part of your blogging journey.
  • Do you really really know the people who constantly try to sell or pitch a new blogging/product launch?

Links of Interests

Please allow me to commend all those that left comments this past week. Simply blog received the most comments that week than ever before. I praise the comments, questions and community displayed, you all are amazing.

  • The Power of Less: Changing Behavior with Leo Babauta – Tim Ferriss previews Leo’s book “The Power of Less.” You’ll find a few chapters previewed and discussed. My copy came in last week, and I’ve slowly been reading and reflecting on the points mentioned. Simple, yet effective- that’s the point.
  • Interview with Tim Ferrisshe covers the following topics:
  • What started him on the road to 4-Hour Workweek
  • His biggest inspirations
  • His daily routine (in detail)
  • How he sets up his environment for writing
  • Why it’s better to control environment than behavior
  • How he figured out his most productive time of day
  • How technology tools can make it easier to be distracted
  • Write Unique Content: Avoid Plagiarism – This is taken seriously in academics, I’d be rich if I was given a dollar for every time I heard a teacher warn us about plagiarizing… maybe not but you get the idea. I don’t care if you new or an old timer to the blogosphere, you’ll want to read this.
  • Luci at Here We Are… With Luci wrote about Goals and Plans
  • Wei at A Blogger Blog discusses Affiliate Marketing – Eventually, you should address this aspect of blogging if you’re looking to make a little money.
  • Why Bloggers Are Writing Shorter and Short Posts – interesting take on writing long post, I like it- go join in on the discussion.

@Yan

I would gladly join in the associate writers in TSB if I got the time to spare. My activity at ABB has also fallen back due to the immense amount of work piling up. I would come knocking on your door again if the offer is still valid sometimes later =)

In 2008, I created the blog and in 2009, I’ve lost it…….

No, it went public. I don’t own it anymore. I literally handed it over to a team of awesome bloggers and I called them “The Associate”. Fortunately, I wasn’t voted out…..on the last AGM.

My wish? I hope we could look back in retrospect 4 years down the road and tell ourselves, “yes, we did it”……

Why 4 years?
Darren recently gave me one simple advise and that is

“Choose to blog about something you can see yourself still blogging about in 4 years. That’s how long it takes to be successful”.

Welcome to TSB, Mig and thanks for the nice words. The same respect is due to you too.

@ Yan

I believe it, four years it is! Being successful online takes hard work, and certainly is a process. I believe it takes a team of people to address a area like blogging. I’m thrilled, honored and humbled to be a writer for Thou Shall Blog.

@ Heidi

Thanks, you’re too kind… :) I’m glad you enjoying visiting SB. I hope it serves as a helping hand in time of need.

Haha, ye yes, that’s the point! Actually, it’s not but thanks for making the connection. Obama is trying to be like me, not the other way around. :) Great post by the way, if anyone else is reading this- GO READ Yan’s last post called You’ve only got 10 seconds.

Gosh…… You’ve made the comment before the inauguration so technically you are right, Obama was trying to talk like you. So this is what they say about “Great minds talk alike”, eh?

Yan
PS: Thanks for the shout again.
