Tips and Tutorials from the best bloggers
Saturday, April 11th, 2009Today, problogger listed some of the best articles from some of the best bloggers and asked us to take a look. See which ones resonated, which we liked/disliked and why. I took a quick through the list and noticed a couple things right away. First, I have read all of them. Second, these are all articles from the other side. That means these are all articles they wrote after they were popular. I would love to see a post before they were – and then after they were, compare writing style, etc. No disrespect to any of these bloggers, they are all incredible and have done extremely well for themselves in the blog community, but none of these articles were actually life changing for me. What has changed my life was the combination of tactics in each of them, mixed with my own research and effort. I would definitely recommend reading these, but my thoguht is – the thing that will change your life as a blogger is YOU, not something you read. Although, meeting Chris Brogan in person and getting to talk about my style and my blog did change my life. Not because he is an amazing blogger, but because he is an amazing person who was willing to talk with me and help me to discover my true passion as a writer. Anyway, the point is, the way to be a better blogger is not by reading the best, but working to become the best yourself. Again, I would still recommend reading the blogs below, as they do have really good information, just don’t expect them to change your blog overnight…
