Are you addicted to blogging? Totally obsessed? You’re not alone! Along with millions of others, most of us quickly become addicted to blogging, and just can’t seem to overcome the power that the grip of blogging has over us!
Although this video is not about blogging, it is about obsession. It quickly became one of my favorite videos from last year and when I think about blogging I think it’s a good example of how obsessed one can become with something that evolves into a daily undertaking. If you think you are addicted and obsessed with blogging, and have a blogging addiction, you will relate to what this woman has gone through.
This post was inspired by a group Link & Blog Challenge!
An interesting topic for bloggers is discussion over what your niche or target market should be if you plan to monetize your blogs. You may have caught my post from earlier this month in regards to identifying what you should blog about. In that post I shared the importance of blogging about something you are passionate about. Even if you plan to use a blog for monetizing I still hold to my foundation of basing it on something that you have a passion for. Otherwise, burn out for the topic could occur quickly unless you have the time to do significant research to acquire fresh inspiration of your own to continue with that topic.
What does your Technorati rank link meter read today? What is your blog pulse? Is it up or is it down? Is it stagnant, and causing you to lack inspiration to post to your blog? If your rank isn’t satisfactory to you then you need to create not just more posts, but a larger amount of healthy incoming links! We all need link popularity, which will only occur through link exchange, and the more one-way links you can chalk up the better.
Developing link popularity still seems to be a mystery to many bloggers, yet it really isn’t that difficult to understand when one realizes that links exchanged within sidebars carry very little weight, and add very little value to a blog.
