I don’t generally get my problems or needs fulfilled through blogs. Maybe other people do. But I do like blogs with very specific niches and interesting authors. I’ve come across blogs about subjects that I was not at all interested in before, but the authors were thorough and insightful enough to intrigue me. It does help that I am a curious person, though.
The problem that I have with my blog is I don’t post enough.

Good and a different way to explain that important point. You are absolutely right and this point should be taken seriously.

Hi Derek,

Simple message, but it drives home a very important point.

It’s so easy to get caught up in “ME, ME, ME”….but rightfully put, as the end of the day, you achieve success (or get paid), based on the people you help, ie. who’s problems are you solving.

Thanks for sharing and have a great day.

Michael

This is so true! Thanks for posting this; I hope that everyone in the world watches this and gets the message.

I can’t even count the number of unsubscribes I’ve done in the last year because of this, so thanks!

True in many words but I believe most bloggers fail because they expect everything to happen too soon.

I don’t quite agree with this every famous blogger always blog about “ME” himself… 😀 And they so many readers, I sometime think why would anyone read what they are doing!!! Usually they share their experience and its all about “ME” again.

Sorry Guys but I have always found myself very interesting and whilst not claiming to be always right, I have, thankfully never been wrong, and find it deeply disturbing to say the least, that, I would have a negative influence upon my readership.
Anyway enough of this, I will put your theory to the test,enough of me talking about me, go ahead, now you talk about me…..

This holds true for many information-based blogs, but doesn’t apply across the board. Most of the blogs I follow are all about “me” because that person writes so well and so entertainingly. They also use themselves to reveal universal truths or explore a topic in an non-intimidating way. I think many bloggers fail the “me test” because they confuse being self-indulgent with using themselves as the main character.
