It&#039;s a pity the author isn&#039;t more popular. It&#039;s really cool!</description>

		<description>This is great advice.  Lol, now to get the team.  I work so hard in my business to get the word out.  I donate part of the proceeds to a great cause in every show that I produce.  The great thing about my business, is that there is always a need for it.  When someone is launching a new product, having a corporate meeting, a family occasion,  or any event in general, it all can use live entertainment to enhance the campaign.  I&#039;m currently working on trying to get a website together so it can get out there.  Blogging is the way.  Check out my MySpace page (soon to be a website) and see what I do.

All the best.

		<description>This list is a helpful &quot;nudge&quot; for aspiring bloggers (or bloggers aspiring for more popularity!). I find that item #4 is a difficult one, in the sense that it can take some time, experience and experimentation to &quot;find your voice&quot;.</description>

		<description>Des, very true. A corollary or follow-up post to this might be &quot;Why are you blogging?&quot; or &quot;How to Decide Whether to Imitate Popular Blogs.&quot;

I guess there&#039;s a #6 I could add. Get lucky/blessed. Be in the right place at the right time. But I think that plays only a very small role in nearly all cases.</description>

		<description>Hi Easton
A very interesting analysis/comparison, especially if you want to be in the Top 10. Obviously that is a measure that will appeal to some. Others need to ask, so why would I want my blog to be in the Top 10? Or even the Top 100? Just for the fame? For dollars from advertising opportunities? And that would hopefully prompt the question, what is the purpose of this blog? I don&#039;t think any of us would *mind* being in the Top 10, but from a business point of view I&#039;m always asking what the purpose is of the blog before I can make sense of what a particular measurement might mean in terms of the blog&#039;s achievement. But a great suggestion to study these high achievers and take from them what could work for the rest of us.</description>

		<description>Hey Easton - Great advice!  Not much hope for those of us with our own blogs without tons of other bloggers also onboard to be in the Top 10. :-)  But that&#039;s OK with me.  It&#039;s not my goal to be in the top 10...just to share ideas/thoughts that might be helpful to those pursuing an entrepreneurial path!

		<description>Patrick and Gayla - hey, I know you guys!

Patrick, Skellie is a genius. I totally agree - she proved that being helpful can generate tons of popularity. I think all the top 10 blogs in the world are extremely helpful to their target audiences - whether by helping them laugh or learn.

Gayla, thank you so much! I hope it helps.</description>
