I am celebrating my first year with Blog Success in around 10 days time and I have learnt so much from them. I have always been blogging but not with an aim to make money – more to get my name out there and help me build an audience (plus I just love writing) so it has been a great experience to be there.
It has meant a shift in looking at my blogs and when the 10 30 method was introduced that shift took an even bigger meaning for me. Up until 10 30 (10 blogs earning $30 a day) I had set my intention to work on one blog only because Blog Success teaches authority blogging using one main blog. But the 10 30 method opened that up and allowed my creativity to flow back into blogging which has been fantastic because I have never been able to stick to one thing alone – way too creative!
So what has changed?

I don’t know if it’s because I have decided to start commenting more on blogs (I can be a bit of a passive reader and you know how the saying goes “what goes around comes around!”) but in the last 6 weeks or so I have found some really amazing blogs that I will be following in 2010.
Conversation Agent written by Valeria Maltoni : A blog with definite expert status and class! I was on Valeria’s Twitter page and her bio says Valeria
“Helps businesses understand how customers and communities have changed marketing, PR & communications – and how to build value in this new environment”

Chris Garrett (oh my goodness I love this man!)
Chris mixes social media, internet marketing and personal development together so is very much my type of man! The grand pappy of Authority Blogging Chris just entertains and educations in one post. I really want to take part in his Authority Blogging course and will see what happens for me in the New Year to make that happen.

Have you noticed the increase in emails about the new FTC rules? To be honest being in the UK I am not even sure whether I am affected by them or not – but I have been checking out what different people have been saying and below are 10 web sites that you can visit for information that is clear and easy to understand. Do you know any others?
