At Strawberry we are big fans of CopyBlogger. We found a great article about loving your business and we simply had to share with our readers…
Sonia Simone writes:
Emotional labor — bringing more human feeling and connection to your work, some essential part of yourself that can’t be automated or outsourced.
It strikes me that this gets to one of the key distinctions between different models for doing business online.
No matter how you approach business, you’ve got to decide on a topic, and probably niche that down to a viable sub-topic.
So you might be in the fitness business or the beauty business or the writing business or the business business.
One approach has us doing some keyword research within our topic, creating enough good content to rank for those keyword phrases, and then applying a revenue strategy — maybe advertising, maybe an affiliate offer, maybe an ebook.
Simple enough.
The other approach has us creating a blog on the topic, doing a lot of soul searching to figure out our USP and/or our sub-topic, finding some readers who particularly resonate with our approach, understanding who we connect with (and being willing to scare off everyone else), and then making an offer (or series of offers) that bring in money.

No. 1. Perez Hilton (Mario Lavandeira)
Ever heard of Mario Lavandeira, Pete Cashmore or Heather Armstrong? Probably not – yet they are among a select group of web celebrities, who have shaken up the entertainment industry and even changed how we talk to each other.
They were included by Forbes magazine in the top 25 biggest and brightest stars on the internet. People unknown in the real world who had gone on to hold huge sway online.
They vary widely from stay-at-home mothers to technology entrepreneurs and bed-ridden films enthusiasts. The fourth annual survey reveals how the world wide web has become a massive levelling force this century.
No. 2. Michael Arrington-Techcrunch.com
David Ewalt from Forbes.com, said: ‘A kid with a webcam can become a movie star; an entrepreneur with a smart idea can get on Oprah; a tech blogger can reach a bigger audience than a bestselling novelist.’
Forbes calculated their influence in four areas. How many web references they had, the traffic ranking of their home pages, how much TV and press interest they provoked and their number of followers on micro-blogging site Twitter.
Mario Lavandeira, a.k.a Perez Hilton topped the chart for the third time in a row. The controversial gossip blogger writes what he calls ‘Hollywood’s most hated website’, and has become something of a celebrity himself.

We found these blogging tips on dragosroua.com, an excellent website! So we wanted to share!
1. Authority
This is what makes a blogger believable.
Authority creates trust. And trust makes you spend your precious time on that specific blog instead of doing something else. Because you know it’s worth doing it. You know you’re in for something. You’ve been there before and you weren’t disappointed. Your expectations were met again and again.
Have you ever wondered what makes you click on the links in a popular blog? What makes you follow that advice or buy that product? What makes a blogger believable? It’s not his identity, nor his persistence, although both are part of the success mix, but his authority. You believe a blogger because you trust him.
Without authority a blog will be floating. It may jump every now and then if it touches some hot topics but if it doesn’t build a significant level of authority, it will drift away, at the mercy of fashion.
I think one of the most respected blogs in the marketing niche, for instance, is Seth Godin’s blog. Seth’s authority was previously built by his books but it somehow spread over his blog. The person vouches for the blog in this case.

1. Don’t plan it, just do it
Pete Cashmore was passionate about the social media and the social networking tools. It was a personal interest that he spent a lot of time on and he just decided to go for it and start writing about it.
“I felt like social networking wasn’t being covered to the degree it could be. I didn’t necessarily know there was an audience for it. I find it best to dive right in and learn the hard way.”
2. Be focused and work hard
It took more than a year before Mashable started making money but Pete Cashmore was very focused and was constantly working on the site with 20-hour work days being a norm.
“I blogged seven posts a day, and about a year in, I started getting ads on the blog. When I got a deal for $3,000 a month to put ads on the blog, it was massive for me”
