Blog Tips: The Best Tips Money Cannot Buy
Tweet
Since launching Blog Bloke in 2001 I’ve been blogging about (surprise) blog tips. In fact I’m the one who created the blog tips niche and I am also one of the most copied bloggers out there. Which of course can be flattering or a curse depending on how you might look at it.
But that’s another story for another time .. Grrrrrr!
If you’ve been following me you will know by now that BLOGBloke is not your typical “blog tips” blog. You won’t find any hype or half-baked promises here. Just real world, practical blog tips without the mumbo jumbo that’s written in an entertaining format.
Call me crazy if you like, but I blog just for the love of it
You can be sure that my content is original and not curated copied from someone else’s work. Nor am I trying to suck you in to buy something, make myself money or to become a celebrity.
Over the years a lot of my content has gotten lost in the archives so I decided to select a few blog posts that will be useful to bloggers who would like to improve their blogs.
I really hope you enjoy reading these blog tips as much as I did writing them:
- Why Do You Blog? — with the onslaught of Social Networks I wonder if wrote this to remind myself of why I keep blogging.
- The Suffering Blogger: 10 Blogging Lessons I Learned The Hard Way — a few of the blogging bumps and scrapes I earned along the way that you might learn from.

I have been fortunate to have read just about all of these posts. As stand alone posts they are very timely and full of humor and good advice.
When you put these posts together then you have a one two three slam dunk of words people should be listening to..more than listening to..applying to their own blogs and way of doing things.
People can tell you all kinds of things..what is important at least to me, is take those things that have a meaning for you and make it work for you in the best way possible, adapt and make it your own… that is what it really is all about, making your blog work for you, make your social experience work for you.. when you put it together, you will be a success..to you and that is all that matters.
