I am a newbie blogger and I am a lucky boy for stumbling across this so early. I found it in an unlikely way, I was searching for images in Google for random acts of kindness, accidentally clicked through on one image to a website which also showed it had retweeted this post. A random act of clicking. Your post has given me loads to think about. Inspiring as well as informative. I look forward to following you from here on. Thank you very much indeed for writing and sharing this, it has clearly meant a lot to a large number of people, now including me. Chris Love it, Baker.

I see so many folks who get into blogging with just the sole objective of commercial success. Well, as you rightly point out, if you don't have the inherent passion to blog, you'd just fail sooner than later. The key to blogging success is of course in writing about what you are truly passionate about and not just writing with keywords in mind and coming up with articles that read as if it was churned out by a computer - I do see a lot of that! This really is a must read for a lot of folks out there into blogging. I wish I read a blog post like this when I started out. I made a lot of mistakes initially, I am wiser for them now, but had I known of these earlier, it would have surely saved me a lot of time and energy. Great post, Adam, very informative :) I so agree with being a 100% passionate about blogging! I see so many folks who get into blogging with just the sole objective of commercial success.

And it kicked me, like I seem to be getting kicked a lot lately. It made me realize that I'm far too eager to monetize my blog early on, in addition to debating whether or not I have an idea that I can continue to talk about. I found this through a link from ThinkTraffic, and it has been fantastic advice! Thank you very much! P.S. I'm a college student with some loans to pay off - not much in debt, and I hope to pay them off by the time I graduate, so this blog will be going into my favorites - I am certainly a man against debt!

I've been blogging for about 6 months now, and am contemplating whether or not to throw in the towel. This post has helped me realize that I need to decide what my focus and what I really love are and then go from there. I'm so overwhelmed. I see the big picture and things I'd love, but seeing how to get there is so hard! Thanks for the encouragement. I can't stop looking through your site and I don't even have debt!
