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!

Thanks for the great post :) I absolutely loved the Gary Vaynerchuk video you posted. Then I found this one, which was great as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWi0uA_HfDU&list=FLbFa9DDOEjOBtaPhTk-W7Cg&index=1&feature=plpp_video I'll be watching the Tim Ferriss video and reading 279 days to overnight success.

Sun, 27 Nov 2011 03:46:34 +0000 http://manvsdebt.com/?p=2391#comment-30675 I know this was written a while ago, just wanted to let you know it's really helpful to me, even being in a very different blogging community than you are. Regarding your point about focusing your guest posting: I've learned in the short time I've had my current blog and have been in a position to be invited to guest post, that I need to pay attention to not just how large a fan base the blog I'm guest posting for has; but I also have to consider certain other factors when deciding whether it is worth the time: I've posted on some blogs with 200 readers and gotten 20 new followers from it (keep in mind I'm really really small, so that's a huge increase for me). And other guest posts that I've written for bloggers with almost 2000 followers have gotten me maybe one or two new readers. I'm very careful now to consider not just the scope of a blog's reach, but also how quickly that blogger posts new material that bumps down guest posts, how much time that blogger spends letting others know about their guest posters, &c. before I take time to write a post that I'm going to be obsessing over more so than my own normal posts.
