One of my daily reads is the Blogging Experiment. I get lots of great ideas and insight from Ben Cook, the author. Writing a blog about blogging and making money blogging is difficult. Partially because people immediately think you are out for a money grab (which isn’t entirely true, I do have a passion for writing and this isn’t my only blog) and also because the topic is so tired and overdone. It’s kind of like talking about the New England Patriots; eventually people will tune you out. For those reasons, I have always hesitated contributing to forums. I have joined a few, and usually people assume you are being snarky if you are a ‘professional blogger’ who is blogging about ‘making money’. not everyone talking about making money is a scrapper. Some of us actually feel we can contribute something unique to the already tired topic.
Why do I bring up Ben and Blogging Experiment?
I was snooping around his page and stumbled upon his profile on The Authority Blogger forum. So I thought I would sign up and give it a whirl.
I was not disappointed. The wealth of experience and knowledge at that forum is top notch.
But the thing I noticed most, as I scanned from thread to thread, is the general niceness of the people there. There was no real complaining, no attacking the n00bs. They give great advice there and cover basically every topic imaginable when it comes to blogging.
Since my blog is brand new, I have considered posting it there for review.
I anticipate constructive comments and suggestions, but the one thing I know I won’t have to deal with is people flaming me.
Authority Blogger Forum, where everybody knows your name.
