Do You Follow the Pied Pipers of Blogging?

Follow that dream   Aspiring blogging entrepreneurs in search of the Holy Grail are kidding themselves by spending too much time visiting all the A-list bloggers. No doubt, we can't stop them if they believe that's where they can find the "magic formula" that will bring them success in a monetary sense.

It's an infectious phenomenon that if you're a top-ranking blogging glitterati, all the moths will be attracted to you, the 'guiding light'.

I believe the blogosphere is big enough and free for anyone to be unique in his or her own way, and to become successful by having a proper focus on how you conduct your blogging without blindly following these Pied Pipers who seem to have a hold on many bloggers who should know better.

Everyday there'll be thousands of new bloggers coming out of the woodworks and you bet many have one main thing in mind - how to make money online. Many of these bloggers are like regular visitors to the A-list blogs. You would think they have learned a lot from these visits but when you check them out at their own blogs one can conclude that there's a lot to be desired. Pretty dumb! They must be wearing blinkers!

What can you do to be different and set yourself apart? Think differently (out of the box) and be more unique than what the masses are doing.

Don't dream along with the A-listers. They are looking out for themselves. Come down to earth and work out your own niche or blogging scheme. Get the best out of your own blogging experience. Only listen to those who talk sense and take the trouble to communicate with you.

Court is never short of interesting and enlightening posts that can help you along in your blogging experience. If you consider yourself a newbie, why not go read Court's recent post on 10 Easy Ways to Make Yourself Look Like a Blogging Newbie?

If you don't mind strong languages (you know what I mean), visit Mr Vic Franqui who has plenty of blogging tricks up his sleeves. His post on Make Money Online prompted me to bash out this article. Hear him out at Blogger Unleashed and get to know the difference between "worthless crap" and the real deal.

Last but not least, Grizzly, who blogs at How To Make Money for Beginners, will open your eyes to how you can pump steroids into your niche blogs and make more from Adsense. Go read what he wrote about a blogger who blogs about making money online but is caught short in her knowledge of the whole darn thing.

These are the mentors (many other bloggers who read their blogs can attest to it) who are some of the better informed bloggers. They sincerely give you the real lowdown on how you should be blogging. They are as good as they come. You can check them out.

But the bottom line is this: Do you have what it takes to make a success of your blogging? Turn your blogging experience into a positive, not just follow some half-baked advice and get led up the wrong alley.
