Wow!!! Very nice discussion. I am also regretting not to start blog sooner. I think now it takes hard work and long time than before.

And the best thing is (I know of Adam’s work but not Eric’s until I had a look earlier) that the readers are not being treated as kids. Why can’t there be more adult focused blogs?
The other great thing about them both that I pick up from this face-off is that neither one of them is coming out with outlandish claims of wealth as most bloggers do. How very refreshing.

interesting interview 🙂 thanks for advices Adam and Eric! To see your blog as an island can be very useful and actually makes you fight for it like you would save people lives.

Nice interviews. That’s funny about accidentally posting his podcasts when working on it

@Nicholas – it was a lesson worth learning 🙂

@Brandon – I think Seth is a pretty big outlier, but he still does amazing things with a design that is now years old.

@timinganddelivery – thanks! Yes problem fixed.

The rest:
Thanks for dropping by – this was actually a great experience and I am glad to go up against someone that constantly delivers awesome content. Thanks DailyBlogTips!

I liked Eric’s simile – comparing a blog with an island 😉 and I am glad that I don’t need to go mad to get 1000 subscribers – I probably have a few more months 😆

Adam’s Future Buzz is just one of a handful of blogs that I subscribe to because just like DBT, he always delivers value to me the reader and that is all I am looking for.

good advice/tips from both. my takeaways- start NOW, don’t wait, and write about what you know & love. and i add, don’t do it for $$$, do it because you want (and need) to!

thanks.

Adam: I agree with your ‘start early’ point. I too started our blog as a ‘personal’ blog and about a year or so later, transitioned into a professional blog.

Eric: appreciate the island metaphor. And the RSS mistake, ouch! Hope you rectified it!

My issue, is that I want to drive even MORE traffic, which wasn’t fully addressed here.

Loved both comments, but using Seth Godin is a bad, bad example. He does use the default Typepad theme, but he has thousands of very loyal readers and marketers that followed his books offline and followed him online when he made the jump.

A better example would be Chris Brogan, who started online and steadily built a loyal audience over time.
