Some people with blogs are never going to get famous, and they've been doing it for, like, over a year. I feel bad for them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I know it's dangerous to take on bloggers. They can go after you every day, all day long, and anonymous people can chime in, too.
The first thing you learn when you're blogging is that people are one click away from leaving you. So you've got to get to the point, you can't waste people's time, you've got to give them some value for their limited attention span.
I'm not good with blogs and social networks because those things come and go. By the time I am used to one thing, a new type of social media is already trending.
Bloggers create kind of a popularity. But they are not the experts, and we have to understand that.
I had a blog for many years. Once you develop your readership on your blog, and you can put something out there or direct traffic or get attention - it's like a super power.
Everyone has this perception that the bloggers, they say horrible things about you and they hide behind their computers where you can't see them.
I think it hurts blogs when they have to turn off their comments.
If folks focus in on a niche and own it, there is a good chance they could make half a living from blogging.
I'm not sure blogs are necessarily the best place to get a pulse on anything. People want to blog for a variety of reasons, and that may or may not be representative.
Put your blog out into the world and hope that your talent will speak for itself.
