ProBlogger: “18 Lessons I’ve Learnt as a Blogger”

Darren Rowse has done it again. “18 Lessons I’ve Learnt as a Blogger” is an absolutely fantastic, comprehensive post, of the kind I wish my own blogs had (they will, but not yet).

The lessons Darren speaks of (and expands on, of course) are:

  1. Be Lucky
  2. Work Hard
  3. Use the Power of Exponential Growth
  4. Differentiate Yourself
  5. Provide Value
  6. Target a Niche
  7. Diversify
  8. Don’t Spread Self too Thin
  9. Have a Backup Plan
  10. Be Light on Your Feet
  11. Relationships are Key
  12. Establish Boundaries
  13. Don’t read your Own Press
  14. Beware of Hype
  15. Get a Life
  16. Make Mistakes
  17. Be Yourself
  18. There are No Rules

Read it. You won’t regret it.
