Blogging Star

Jun 19th 2008Blogging101 & Business & File and data management & Making Money Online & Web Tools

Mark Cuban not only owns the Dallas Maverick but serves as chairman of the TV Channel HD.Net. He blogs too.

The finer points discussed in the NY Times article about blogging are the following:

  1. Don’t expect to get rich.
  2. Write about what you want to write about, in your own voice.
  3. Fit blogging into the holes of your schedule
  4. Just post it already
  5. Keep a regular rhythm
  6. Join the community, such as it is.
  7. Plug yourself.

There’s this part in the article that fits exactly what I think sometimes:

In the end, the biggest threat isn’t that you’ll fail to learn to blog. It’s that if you blog regularly for long enough, and begin to get comments and links from other bloggers, you’ll have trouble doing your day job.

    Yup, that is so true. Sometimes I think back and thought about how I enjoyed the bliss on not having to think about writing posts and answering comments.

    BUT then again, if not for blogging, I wouldn’t have met wonderful (and not so wonderful online friends who also became real-life friends 🙂

    Thanks for being one of them.
