Hi NTT. I followed the 31DBBB when Darren released it in bits for free (call me cheap, I don’t mind). I’ve done Yaro’s BMM. It was really very good I think. Clearly laid out, starting with the basics, covering all areas, step by step lay out. If you’d let me know what you think of the ebook I’d be grateful. Thanks for visiting.

Evan thanks for visiting my site. I am going to read the ebook you are putting out. If you haven’t gotten it yet get the 31 days to build a better blog by Darren Rowse. It’s a mere $19. Also if you have $97 to blow per month for 6 months, I highly suggest Yaro Staraks Blog Mastermind. Great system and yes I feel also it is the personality that helps to sell the blog….

Hi Evan,
If we look around, there is a great deal of advice in the blogoshpere about many things, perhaps more about how to make a living with blogging more than anything else. The stuff I’ve seen is usually of a scolding variety–you can do it, you should do it, because you’re crazy to be in 9 to 5 job and so on.

It’s well worth the trouble to live authentically. Release fear, be aware, look deeply, so we can know what we’re about.

To be a successful blogger, we have to understand what success means to us. To me, it’s doing what I love to do. I haven’t made any serious money at it. That may happen or it may not. If there is a formula, I don’t know what it is.

Thanks, a very illuminating ebook and article.

Thanks Adelaide. I do think my blog probably has a bit of a different personality to the in-the-flesh me. The blog is much more about my style, as you say. Thankyou, Evan

Probably mindful and non-intrusive is how I would describe your personality if it came to hand.

And reflective too. It’s probably more to do with your style than with your personality.

And caring.

In a word Evan, gentle.

Hi Adelaide, I’m struck by your observation that it is the personality that sells blogs. This feels exactly right to me – but I had never thought of putting it this way. It makes me wonder about how my blog/personality is perceived. Thanks for the feedback, please leave more if you have more to say. Many thanks for your comment.
