When I used to DJ nightclubs, I worked in a club that had no customers. Literally, I was spinning records for the bartenders. But that didn't matter. I played like the house was packed. I never gave up. Over time, it built up, because I always brought my "A" game. Today, I act like millions are reading my blog or going to my company's website. You have to be that way. You never know who will stop by and what they might be able to do for you. The same goes with anything you do in life. Always give your best and people will find you.

Today, I act like millions are reading my blog or going to my company’s website. You have to be that way. You never know who will stop by and what they might be able to do for you.

The same goes with anything you do in life. Always give your best and people will find you.

I am also in the transition mode from being a web spectator to a publisher. Writing content takes time, contributing quality content on a regular basis when there is no audience takes even more time and a ton of self-motivation. Considering the average blog only lasts about 13 months, I completely agree with you that way too many people quit way too soon. However, the noise volume is not declining in any shape or form, there are numerous new blogs emerging everyday to compete for the same attention as our attention span getting shorter and shorter. I'm afraid blogosphere or new media all together is heading towards where the traditional media lost us - clutter, way too much clutter... Adam, you are right. Despite the pessimism, I believe persistence will eventually pay off. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and tips. As always, sharing is caring! Cheers, y* Thank you for your encouragement.

I’m afraid blogosphere or new media all together is heading towards where the traditional media lost us – clutter, way too much clutter…

I think mixing up content formats is fine, as long as all the content supports the niche you are writing for. @Craig – I would hardly call myself an A-list blogger, but thanks!

I go to A-list blogs like yours and see the amount of subscribers, traffic, comments and would one day like my blog to be the same way. I understand it's a tough road ahead, even tougher if looking to monetize at some point down the road. On my blog, I am having a mix between written content and video, trying to mix things up, hopefully will help personalize it. Do you recommend this type of strategy or could that hurt in some ways?
