What a great post 🙂 it is a shame to see so many people starting blogs only to make money…I think blogging should be a joy and something you would continue doing whether you make money or not.

Brandon, I just ran across this post and though it has been around for awhile, it was still new and fresh to me as a fledgling blogger. There is so much to learn and there is more than enough information to drown in, so it is great to find posts that keep your interest and teach you something at the same time. Thanks, Vickie

Comprehensive and nicely compiled.
Just wish to add that there is no short cut to blogging success.

Thanks for this. Numbers 2 and 3 are so true. I’ve tried to convince myself to spend money on Adobe Software to liven up my Blog, but have realize that I’m not a graphic designer, and my free easy-to-use photo editing software is sufficient. The content is what counts. Number 3 is useful advice, too. Thanks!

Indeed, there are many activities in life that seem to be very different from each other, but it’s amazing to see how the underlying principles can be so similar and applicable to either activity. Just as the principles behind wrestling can be applicable to blogging, we can also examine our other activities, aside from blogging, in which we excel. Then we can also grab some effective strategies from those activities in which we excel, and apply them to blogging. Such strategies can bring us success too.

I’d inspired by the analogy. Thanks!

Sometimes there are a lot of ways and lessons in front of our eyes but we can’t realize them.

Again, thanks!

Nice post. But I just wish wrestling was as believable as any other sport cos it loses its charm as one crosses their teen ages. The actual investment in a blog is the time – number of hours one puts in, and there is a huge value to that – much higher than your paid themes, web hosting costs etc. My favourite characters in WWF (The older version of WWE) was The Undertaker, Hitman and Lex Luger.

This was a very encouraging post! Who would’ve thought I could get something out of someone watching “The Wrestler.” I think I might have to watch it now. 🙂

Nice job, Brandon – these guest posts of yours are becoming quite the read 😉

Love how you used the analogy of a down-and-out who finds success again. Sometimes you have to see your blog at the bottom of the food chain to make the changes it needs. Successful bloggers can often become stale; you need to keep re-inventing and building on your bases.

One quick point – it costs slightly more than $20 to get your blog going. You still need a web host to put it on, averaging maybe $8 per month. But I’m just being picky 😉

These are great tips, I’d agree with all of these, although I’m not sure about not spending money – I use Photoshop all he time and the new Flash CS4 is great!

I think i would like to become a wrestler. Just kidding. I Love this post. This is what happened to me when I started my site. Learned a lot from this experience.

Good post!

Like christina rightly said, i loved the tip5. The people who wait, they keep waiting. One who tried to make a break, they are far too ahead.

Really enjoyed this article.

As someone who is just starting to really develop a couple of blogs I find inspiration in those points. I love numbers 1,2 and 10.

Great tips!

I love tip 5: “Don’t wait for a break. Make one.” Often times, I get so wrapped up in my blog and working to build traffic that I forget about myself. Sometimes I’ll be working right when I wake up to 1am in the morning. For now on, I’m going to try to make a few breaks for myself throughout the day. Then, blog work won’t be so stressful.

Thanks for the info!

Yes, it is very important to spend money strategically when managing a fairly new blog. Buying templates when Blogger offers free ones is just unnecessary.

Good post though I disagree that you should not invest in your blog until it is making money.

If you have the money you should invest in a new blog. You should invest in a good design, you should invest in some advertising etc. Granted, if you don’t have the cash you shouldn’t spend any more because you would be spending money you don’t have. But most experienced webmasters have a budget when starting a new website and I don’t think that a blog should be any different.

As a blogger, internet marketer & somebody involved in pro wrestling, can I just say great post! Was a trip down memory lane and a look at one of my favourite movies.

I’ll counter your post with 1 reason “The Wrestler” ISN’T like blogging:-

In wrestling you are constantly appealing to the mainstream (mainly the 18-35 demographic, or families) to be successful. Blogging it’s all about finding your niche.

But great post 🙂
