Are you a smart blogger or a hard working blogger?

SEO Tips

You blog I blog. Okay, all of us are the same ( well almost! ). We use readers, subscribe, draft, post, publish, link edit and blog. Yet, some are popular, some are Z-listers, some A list, some in-between, some spam some gurus, some are bald ( No not him! ) while some are superman like :) . Why the differences?

There are two ways of doing it buddy. 1) Hard Work and 2)Smart work

If you ..
- Spent hours together searching for topics on the net to blog about
- Post articles regularly and try to get online everyday to post articles
- Do not write anything negative about any blog/product
- Create original articles
- Spent most of the time looking at your statistics and not commenting on other blogs

You probably fall into the first category a hard working blogger.

But if you ..
- are impulsive and find topics just like that on any topic
- draft articles and publish it with time stamp edited
- write about your disagreements and honest opinion about products or other blogs
- rather than creating completely original articles, get inspired from others posts (while crediting them for it)
- spent more time commenting on other blogs and not your statistics

You’d fall in to the second category – Smart blogger.

I’m unsure which one is better. Sometimes, i prefer the smarties are like John Chow, but when they have a problem with Google, i think the hard working types are. Whatever it is – being consistent and connecting to your audience is the name of the game. Just that there are two ways of doing it. Which one are you and are you comfortable that way?

    I don’t know which one I belong to. I mostly belong to the first category. Only thing is that I comment on other blogs. I rarely blog relating to other posts in the blogosphere.

    So you are a bit of both I guess Ram.
    :) You are indeed a great “commenter” – I’ve seen you on quite many of the blogs.

    Keep up the spirits !
    Cheers!

    Mani,
    Thanks for your kind words. I like commenting on blogs. I’m a firm believer that quality comments can get more visitors to our blog than a simple comment with a link at the end. :)

    I already knew about this smart blogger vs hard blogger before reading your content. I am strongly support the smart bloggers, Although i fall in the category of hard bloggers right now but will try to shift towards the smart blogging.
    What about you, in which category you ???

    Hard working or smart working has become old fashioned now, my dear friend. If you could complete a work in 24hrs time, you are a hard working person. The same work can be completed in 12hrs duration, if you are a smart worker. If you are an intelligent worker, you can complete that work in 6hrs. So, now all that it matters is intelligence. Intelligence at work is the one which matters the most and makes the difference. That is why, I am an intelligent blogger, rather a hard working blogger or a smart blogger….. :D

    I have read interviews if all top bloggers like darren rowse, amit agarwal and such.

    Do you know what they said in common?
    HARD WORK is the key.

    Blogging doesn’t need great intelligence. Its about doing the right thing.
