The Rambler - Blogger Types (2 of 5)

Ramblers like John Chow are definitely interesting and addicting to follow.

I think there are misstyped here…”Benefits of being an expert” should be “Benefits of being a rambler” and “Tactics experts use for their blogs” should be “Tactics rambler use for their blogs”.

Ramblers certainly are more interesting to follow as they instill all their personality into the post. I’m kind of a hybrid: a rambler and an expert

Ramblers are much more entertaining and I think should have an easier time gaining subscribers. After all, people like to be entertained which makes it easier for them to subscribe to the ramblers blog.

Ramblers can be addictive. I’ve got to tell you, though. You have to be a very good writer. Most of these ramblers are too annoying to follow for more than one post.

Although I agree that sometimes ramblers can be addictive. For me personally they annoy me more often. Give me meaty posts full of content anyday over what you had for lunch…

I have several blogs running but my main one is definitely a “rambler” style blog.

I’ve built up reasonable traffic to it (often over 1000 hits a day). But as yet I have earned very little from it, just a few bucks in Adsense and the odd affiliate commission.

Problem with us ramblers is that our content is so eclectic. So the readers come via very diverse searches. And making money requires specificity and focus.

Still, it’s a lot of fun, so I’ll keep writing it.
