I think those big bloggers really known about their topics. They pick their niche based on their background before start bloging or their other job or activity beside blogging. Just like you, you wrote post about buy and sell domain. You know exactly the details about this business because you have done it. That’s why you can tell us about this business very detail and informative in step by step. I think that’s a key of success blogger.

Hi Melvin – good points and thanks for the input. Yep they all have different backgrounds and specialties – I picked them purely on the basis that they’re 3 ‘personality’ names that people reference a lot. Regarding content, I just took the last 2-3 weeks worth as a small sample for comparison purposes and nothing REALLY stood out for me on any of them (not that I couldn’t find elsewhere at least).

Thanks again mate.

They have different cases I think.. Jeremy had already a brand from himself even before he went into the blogosphere. We all know he’s a super affiliate even before his blog. Darren on the other hand is really the pioneer of blogging. I dont agree he doesnt have a great content, I think he has and if you look into his myriads of posts theres definitely tons of value there… I think another is that his blog is not a make money blogging blog and its about professional blogging. Shoe and CHow’s blog are PERSONAL blogs so they dont really think of giving tips…

btw, gr8 post…. stumbled it..

Yeah mate – that’s another thing Doug mentioned in his interview – and I meant to put it in the post aswell There’s a big proportion of people who give up after a few months, whereas these guys have stuck at it and built a ‘brand’. I might have to edit the post and add that as an extra bullet point

I suppose what sets them apart from the rest is pure dedication. They’ve been at it for so long that they’ve all build up a bit of a brand. Most people give up way before they reach that level.
