Confidence is one central but your point is well taken. Each person can't be a self proclaimed expert because they believe themselves to be. :) Thanks for sharing! -Mig<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-631">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Tyson,

If one can decide he is a successful blogger based on personally-selected criteria, then he can elect to be a social media expert based on the same rationale.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-630">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I wish I knew a better way to gauge being a successful blogger than believing to be one.

Your response is very helpful. I can see that there are many people who desperately need some income. I only have a hard time filtering out what of all the SEO and blogging advice is really relevant for me, if making money is not the goal. According to some advisers, to be successful, you need to invest at least 2 hrs. It took me some time to realize that this means two hrs per day which I rarely have on a regular basis. So does that mean I just give up, because there is no way, I can be "successful"? It is all very confusing. <abbr><em>Jutta’s last blog post..<a href="http://malianta.wordpress.com/2009/03/30/doing-or-being/" rel="nofollow">Doing or being</a></abbr></em><p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-602">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Thanks for your answer.

Money shouldn't be what drives us but sadly, it often is. If your blogging satisfy you, your audience (because of related interests, a sense of community and so on), and you're not making money- who cares unless you have bills to pay and no source of income. Some folks are in tough situations. Being a successful blogger is about sharing, learning, discipline and respect for others in the blogosphere: the wider blogging community. We all have a part or can help to meet a need. <em>So, success might be located not in what you benefit from- rather, what have others benefited from because of you (not surprisingly, when something like this occurs- opportunities do as well.</em> As far as social media, yeah much of the junk out there is individualistic, and yeah, simply <b>junk</b> Apparently, there's tons of social media experts everywhere? Says who? and how did they suddenly become an expert? Haha, I always get a kick out of those jokers. Anyhow, love the questions... thought provoking. What do you think about my responses? Hopefully, I'm going in the right direction here. Still working through various thoughts about how we define a successful blogger? Again, being happy with your work fits into the equation but there's obviously more involved. :) -Mig<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-601">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Hey Jutta,

I hope you don't mind that I am reading them in the wrong order. ;-) There is one question that keeps coming back: how do you define a successful blogger? So often I get the impression, you are only "successful" if you make money with it. This means, since you say, you don't make money from blogging, you are not successful? ;-) Let me put the question the other way round - if making money is not my motivation for blogging, does that mean that all the tons of social media advice everywhere are useless for me? <abbr><em>Jutta’s last blog post..<a href="http://malianta.wordpress.com/2009/03/29/quote-of-the-week/" rel="nofollow">Zitat der Woche * Quote of the week</a></abbr></em><p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-599">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Another interesting post.
