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.

Yes, those are life changing quotes.

I found your “Blog feel small…” quote a month or so ago but have been trying to find it again the past few days. After the past week I needed to see that again. Thank you!
Yeah, that quote is awesome!
Very Helpful, I like the 1st, 2nd and the 6th one. ‘BASIC’ is actually ‘ADVANCED’ to many of their readers. It gives me too much charge to write many posts I skipped earlier.
Every blogger should read these useful quotes, thank you so much for sharing. I like the first one “Blog feel small? If you have just one reader and your blog changes their life your blog is big enough”
