Blogging - Read, Read and Read some more!

I am new to the blogging scene and it is so exciting everyday. I am learning so much about blogging and beyond! I feel like I am at a convention for higher learning. I have my little name tag on and everyday I am meeting new people who are from different places geographically, knowledge-wise and spiritually.

I am so glad I have decided to join the excitement! Today I visited …
The Blog of Tim Ferriss. He has written a book called The Four Hour Work Week. That sounds like a great concept, doesn’t it. Get your work done Monday morning and you have the rest of the week to paint a picture, go fishing, play with your children, etc. I haven’t read the book yet but I am planning on it. I only just met him : ). Check out his post today. His concept of never having to open mail, check voice mail, basically a paperless life. Can you imagine?

His post today is on the concept of a paperless world, without telephones and voicemail. He says in can be done. Maybe we are heading toward this, I don’t know but it is very interesting.

I also visited John Chow dot com. It is a relaxed and entertaining site that is very popular. John offers tips on making money online and other random useful information. I just met him so I haven’t read many of his post but I am looking forward to digging in and learning all I can. In a post from yesterday I noticed some interesting information about John’s blog income. What caught my eye is that the graph showing John was making significantly less than $500 in September 2006 although he has been blogging for 18 months. He has had an incredible increase in revenue over the past six months! I will be checking in on his site regularly.

I popped in on doshdosh for some information on the importance of feed readers. This was one area that has taken me sometime to understand. Pre-blogging I couldn’t grasp the importance of RSS or really understand what it was, duh! This post is informative. The feed readers are most helpful for the “blog reader” more than the blogger but the blogger can keep track of subscribers and other stats plus use the feed reader for additional advertising. It’s all good!

You can see learning to monetize my blog. I am so grateful that there are so many wonderful and successful blogs sharing information. At first it was overwhelming but I can see where this is really taking off. Isn’t it exciting.

I am off to do some more reading. Do you have a blog full of useful information? Let me know.

Stumble it!
