Happy Belated 1st Birthday Blogtrepreneur!

Posted on 12. Mar, 2007 by in Entrepreneurship

1st BirthdayIn the hubub of school, homework and moving this blog into stage 2 of its design life, I completely missed my own 1st Birthday! On the 26th of February 2006, I made my first “Welcome” post on my Blogger account. Since then, I’ve only racked up 180 or so posts, but the growth in terms of traffic, RSS and income has been staggering and truly worth the wait.

Advice: If you create a blog, spend time writing, writing and writing more because content really is king and will pay for itself tenfold in the future.

So as a quick summary, I just want to thank you – my readers for having stuck with me over the past year, or if you’ve just joined thanks for droppping by. I hope I can last another year by going from strength to strength.

P.S. As a little Birthday treat for myself, I’m getting a new blog design! But expect more info on this throughout the week. And as an unrelated pressie, I just one $10 in a competition courtesy of Stuart from PimpMyPageRank.com. Check out the next one for your chance to win $10 as well!

    Has it been a year already? It just seems like the other day when I found your original blogtrepreneur on Google Blogger. You’ve done a great job building the site up. Keep up the good work on your post.

    BTW, a passed the 100th post mark a little while back and didn’t even notice it. I think I’m at 108 or something now.

    Lol I know – I could hardly believe it as well. Yep its been more than a year – my first post was on February 26th.

    Travis thanks for the congrats and I’ve gotta give the same back to ya for your excellent work at YGG.

    Matt – what can I say? I would have never have got here without yur belief and with your great original commenting. You’ve been really loyal and stuck with me and its to you I can accredit much of this success.

    Well done on your posts as well and thanks again for all your kind words.
    Adnan

    Good on you for sticking with it. here’s hoping for many years ahead.

    You know on Technorati I only recently found that the “blogs linking to you” can be sorted by authority. You would be pleased to know blgtrpreneur.com ranks higher than a couple bigger names .. or so I though they were “bigger” anyway.

    Now if I could only spell I’d be here more often LoL

    Thanks for the niceties Dave and Norm.

    @ Dave: hmm I didn’t know that so thanks for the info. I’ve just been on Technorati and it says that I’ve got the 3rd highest authority out of the blogs that link to you! Woohoo! Im ranking higher than a few websites – but I havnt seen any big names yet that I recognise but thanks for making me feel better!

    Hey Adam and Nick – lol nice plug for AnnounceaBirthday. I would have gone to your site but as you’ll find out – I’m just too tired to stray outside the normal bounds of the blogosphere/internet! But thanks for the birthday wishes.
