Patience is something you need by the trainload. Especially if you can't blog every day the content that is up might not hold the reader's attention. I mainly write for myself but a few visitors would be nice of course. :wink: I have to agree with Steve here. Patience is something you need by the trainload.

I would encourage new bloggers to at least start some link building. This can take some time to develop, and you can continue to add solid content. Submit your blog to directories. If you are using the free listing option it can take weeks (or months) before you get listed. That is true. I would encourage new bloggers to at least start some link building.

Too many people either try the hit-or-miss strategy of trying a lot of different things, but never settling in on a particular strategy, or trying to do too much. They try to do it all, then loose steam because it takes too much time. Pick a couple of marketing techniques and work them until they start to pay off. It is an ongoing effort.

Just think about the number of blogs on the Web and the number of hours each blogger spends writing and posting. Mind blowing. What intrigues me is where people get the time to blog?

If you don't get the content right and captivate your audience, they will never return. I am also relatively new, combining good writing with poor marketing :oops:

Marketing is a daunting task, but with the right tools you can reach readers. OT: thanks for your recommendation of Windows Live Writer. I'm in love with this program.

I think you have identified acurately the different type of bloggers out here. What about the readers? How would you categorize them? I notice that bloggers have their favorate blog roll they read. But do these readers actually purchase the products on their favorate blogger's site? Are the internet dollars being recirculated within the community? Eric Hi Jim,

I’m a relatively new blogger. I think you have identified acurately the different type of bloggers out here. What about the readers? How would you categorize them? I notice that bloggers have their favorate blog roll they read. But do these readers actually purchase the products on their favorate blogger’s site? Are the internet dollars being recirculated within the community?

I've always fallen into the "Good Writer" category more often than not. That's why people hire me to write their content, blog and otherwise: I can write. Learning the marketing and monetization techniques, however, tend to be more challenging to me. I like to think I'm making progress, though. Oh, and I love this quote: "Be patient, but be tireless in your efforts. If you are looking at blogging as a get-rich-quick tool, look somewhere else. It takes time, and it takes work." <i>Indeed</i>. Very insightful article, Jim.
