I don’t really mean that but I came up with that title to illustrate a point and perhaps one of the best blogging tips you will ever receive. Ready, here it is: Be controversial. I call this the “Howard Stern” method. If you are not familiar with Howard, he has built a multi billion dollar media empire from being controversial and speaking his mind. If you want to be a serious blogger you have to get noticed and stand out from the pack. Do not be afraid to stir up some controversy. Another way that Howard became famous was by going toe to toe with the top radio DJ in whatever market he was going into next. His in your face style won him a lot of followers and a lot of publicity. This is the very thing we are looking for to make out blogs successful. So stop following the pack, and be different.
And Darren, aka ProBlogger, what do you have to say about that. I heard you don’t even write your own blog posts anymore. That’s right, I said it
Wow, I didn’t know Darren doesn’t write his posts… Well, nice to see some controversy here, but if I just say it’s ok, you’re right, then you’ve taught me nothing, so here goes my opinion: You’re wrong, ProBlogger doesn’t suck. He might have guest posters, but he’s keeping up the blogging, perhaps he has something else to do…
