I do this. I talk more to bloggers than to people in the 'real world,' simply because we understand each other a lot more, and we can help with our goals. It's hard to find people who will consistently be there for you in the real world, and you for them.The crazy part is that some of the people online might be the same people you don't like offline!My New Hustle | Make Money Online Be the man, stop working for him.

Ben, I am in the process of creating a place on my sidebar that I am putting yours and a few other “how-to-blog” sites with links for my readers to visit. It has been on my to-do list for awhile. Today is the day that I will get it done. Thanks for the how-to-blog information and the new friends that I have met thanks to your blog. I hope that makes sense. I am working today through the tail end fog of a 2-day migraine. Again, thanks for your help.

Bill, thanks again for the kind words. I’m really excited with the way this blog is going so far.

As for the email etc, it’s amazing how far a little time and care would go.

Sorry I am late to the comment party. Ben you might have just started the hang out blog for many of my new blogging friends (I call all of the people so far on this comment thread my friends.) Thanks for the link love Ben.

I got any email from a new site with a name somewhat close to my blog just today. They had put one of my buttons on their link page and asked me to put one of their buttons on my main page. Now I do have a banner trade thing going at my blog but the page they put my link on is not even on the main page of their blog and I don’t even think there is a link to find the page on the main page.

I don’t have a problem trading buttons like I said I would I just ask that if you want me to put your button on my main page (which puts it on all 1,200+ pages of my site) then put my button on your main page also. I guess they either don’t know the difference or they think I fell off the turnip truck yesterday.

I feel ya Ben and thanks for bringing this little (quickly growing) community together.

Jason, thanks, I had seen it (I’m addicted to my stats, sad but true) but thanks for letting me know. I’ve gotten a few visitors and a couple of new subscribers from it as well.

“It’s amazing what knowing you have an audience can do for your blogging.”

I think you’re right dude. It helps me (try to) craft entries my everyday readers would like. And it also helps me keep going when I first start a blog.

Thanks for the mention and link for me as well!

And goodness, you are so completely right, I get an average of 15 a day, people of companies asking for a link because they like my blog, they send this obvious ‘form email’ that makes you think they didn’t even look at the blog except to see the page rank and email address! Great post!!

Ben, thanks for the link. I subscribed to Wild Bill’s Passionate America. I like his sense of humor. Thanks for helping me learn more about blogging with each of your articles. I have had 200 visitors to my site since I posted my first article on June 1. I am excited about it. The growth has been a steady uphill climb. For the niche that I am in, I think I am doing pretty good. I am getting some wonderful comments from my visitors. I have been following your suggestions and those of my friend Slade Roberson about visiting other sites and leaving meaningful comments. Last week I participated in my first Blog Carnival. This week I have already had articles in 4 Carnivals. That is helping to draw people to my site too. I have 10 email subscriptions and several more through the feeds. Again, thanks for the link.

Jason, it can indeed be a lonely place. It’s amazing what knowing you have an audience can do for your blogging.
