Everyone Loves a Great Blog

October 21st, 2007 by Terry

Ok, Blogging Web 2.0 is a great blog (in my humble opinion!) but that’s not what this post is about!

In my last post highlighting the benefits of using free blogging platforms to increase your profile and exposure online, I hinted that there are many resources out there that can help you to achieve success.

Blogging Web 2.0 is still relatively new in the blogging world, but already has accumulated more content than its age would have people realize, unless of course they’re regular visitors here. One thing that we have come to know that’s so important here is to make many good friends in the blogging world.

I don’t mean by going out an simply adding names to a community list or similar, I mean really making
friends with real people who are as passionate about blogging as we are.

In my travels through bloggertown I’ve bumped into some really nice people that I now count as friends. I visit their blogs regularly and they in turn visit mine and I think we all have something to share with one another in terms of information, assistance and good old fashioned entertainment in the guise of a jolly good read!

This site in particular is the perfect place for friends to get together and interact.

It’s also a great place to help other bloggers by raising the profile and awareness of their blogs. Most of this can be done by bloggers commenting here as well as guest posting - it all helps to increase the profile of your blogs on the blogging map.

Another way is by highlighting a particular blog that we’ve found by ourselves (as opposed to being told about it), especially if it has something particularly valuable to offer our readers.

One such blog is run by a really nice guy called Grizzly Brears and is entitled How to Make Money Online for Beginners. There’s a lot of good reading on that site, so it’s taken me a while to get through it, but what I found in there has turned out to be an Aladdin’s Cave of precious free knowledge, a lot of which I’ve never found anywhere else.

I’ll get to that in a moment.

Grizzly’s articles are all highly enjoyable to read, although as he admits himself they can be a bit long winded. But I personally find that even more attractive as it means he gives away a lot of his thoughts in each post. They are all very well written and easy and enjoyable to read, which is so important in a blog - it makes you want to read more and eager to return often to see what he’s written next!

So what did I find in Grizzly’s Aladdin’s Cave?

Treasure is the best way to describe it.

Real treasure in the form of free knowledge and wisdom. If you’re just starting out and even if, like me you’ve been around for some time, the information in his mini-series is eye-opening to say the least. I learned a lot of things that I didn’t know before about setting up free blogs and promoting them. Sure I already knew some of it, but there were many points and snippets that I hadn’t known about before.

And I’m now incorporating them into some of my newest blogs and projects.

Grizzly has hosted this blog on the free Blogger host, just to further highlight that it can be done and he also makes a decent amount of money from his blogs, further adding weight to his expertise in this field.

So if you want to learn how to really make money online with free blogs, click on over to Grizzly’s blog, close the door, take the phone off the hook, get yourself comfortable and prepare to learn!

Then come back here and see what else we’ve got for you!

    Terry… what can I say to that.

    Thank you.

    If I can ever give you a hand - name it.

    I wish you nothing but the best, my friend.

    Hey, it’s my pleasure.

    You’ve already given me an awful lot to think about already in your blog and I have to admit, I still haven’t finished reading it!

    Once in a blue moon, you just trip over something that turns out to be a nugget of gold. Your blog was that nugget and it deserved a good review!

    Please feel welcome to come back here and comment some more, because we “do follow” but you have to comment twice before it kicks in!

    So this is the resource you were talking about, Terry… What a great blog! Thank you for sharing the link. I’ll be subscribing right away.

    Does this count towards “kicking” it in? Ha.

    Actually I just wanted to ask you to send me a short blurb explaining this site so I can post it on several decent PR sites I use. Thought it might help to get you some good PR. I would write it myself but I would probably get the keywords wrong and I’m lazy. I will spin it differently for each post to avoid duplication. I think you have my email. Please let me know if interested.

    Make sure to highlight your primary keyword and any secondary ones as well.

    Grizzly

    ps. Haven’t met Karen yet but I like her already.

    Hey Grizzly,

    Thanks for stopping by by here! :-) That was an awesome post Terry and it was nice that you mentioned Grizzly as he helped me heaps month ago with SEO stuff.

    How is the fishing going? :-)

    That’s a wonderful idea Grizzly and thanks for helping us out here. We could certainly use the extra exposure.

    I’m sure I could knock something together that might sound ok!

    Hi Monika, you still awake and working? You’re as bad as me!

    Hey Monika,

    Go to Bed! It must be about midnight in OZ - you sounded a little worn out the last post I read over on your WM blog. Look after yourself.

    oh… fishing is done for the year. The lake will be freezing over in the next few weeks.

    How’s the weather in Spain Terry? Just watching the first snow fly here in the great white north this morning. It ain’t the Algarve or Huelva for sure. (Spent some restless youth in your neck of the woods many moons ago)

    Send me your blurb when ready and let’s see what we can do.

    LOL guys,

    Yes, it is midnight right now, and since I have been slack the last two days (recuperating) I will need to catch up a bit now. :-)

    Hey, you still managed to get a post out before the carriage turned into a pumpkin! Well done!

    Grizzly, you’re gonna be a little jealous when I tell you I just had a half hour laying out in the sun (my break!) - its about 27º C here right now. I imagine Hueva is a little cooler being on the Altantic coast, while we still sizzle on the Mediterranean! It stays warm for most of the year here on the Costa Del Sol, part of the reason I’m here.

    But it beats the hell out of freezing old England!

    Haha, nice to meet you, Grizzly. :)
