I’ve been watching, speaking and interviewing a number of very successful bloggers over the last few months and guess what I found to be the underlying, consistent and driving force behind their success?
They are all avid news junkies around the topic they have chosen to create their blog about.
In any business, you passion level becomes a major factor behind your success because…
- You are more open to learning and discovering making you more valuable to your marketplace
- As someone who is passionate about your market – you get involved instead of just being an observer
- You meet people who lead you to "insider" knowledge that others cannot (or will not) get
- Your passion draws others to you attracting more knowledge and contacts your way
- You will be in a position to see opportunities and offer value that outsiders cannot offer
- You will spend more time and focus more intently on your field than someone who is not as passionate
When I speak with various successful blog owners they often describe their blogging businesses as "outlets" rather than businesses. They spend hours each day researching their topic, involved in their markets, and write new content each day – but they love their topic so much it doesn’t seem like work to them.
Their passion attracts readers, the consistent action keeps them coming back and their personality endears readers to these bloggers.
What about you – are you a news junkie?
What topics do you find yourself following in books, magazines, online news sites, forums, associations and other networking events?
If you have a market or area of interest where you can’t get enough information, just love to read and be involved in that market – then start a blog. Without knowing it, you likely have the underlying condition that has led to untold millions in online businesses that were originally launched with a blog.
