Darren Rowse has shared an awesome presentation (10 Pieces of Advice for Successful Blogging) on Slideshare, which contains a bunch of awesome quotes about successful blogging.
When I saw those quotes for the first time, each of them touched something in me. It has literally changed my thoughts about blogging.
I used to think my blog is small. I used to compare myself with other successful bloggers. I was searching for my passion and next big step. I was wondering why successful bloggers are awesome. I always wanted to know the ‘secrets’ of successful bloggers. And I was disheartened and demotivated until I saw those quotes.
I so loved those quotes; I can’t help sharing those quotes with you.
If you truly understand these quotes, it might change your blogging life.
Let’s check the quotes.
Blog feel small? If you have just one reader and your blog changes their life your blog is big enough.
When you’re tempted to compare yourself to someone else… Compare yourself to you when you started.
More important advice than ‘Do what you are passionate about’ is ‘Be passionate about what you do’.
What is one small thing that you can do today to move you a step closer to your dreams?
99.9% of great bloggers are not awesome on day 1. Their awesomeness is the accumulation of the value they create over time.
Many bloggers fail to realise that what they know and consider ‘BASIC’ is actually ‘ADVANCED’ to many of their readers.
The best advice I can give on building community online is… ‘Be the community you want to have’
‘Success’ is usually more about doing the things you know you should do… Not learning the ‘Secrets’ that you don’t know.
Best way to get engagement on social media is to be engaging on social media.
Motivational speakers always preach ‘Reach for the stars’. Nice advice but I think more helpful advice would often be ‘Make your next step’.
Hope these quotes will inspire you. If you find this post inspirational, don’t forget to share it with your friends. And if you know any other quote of Darren Rowse, share with us via comment.
