Another excellent article from Nathan Hangen this week, with which I totally empathized.
It continues the theme I referred to here with the point that there’s a ‘freeloading’ mindset today.
Along with ‘freeloading’ I would add ‘responsibility avoidance’. And it’s not healthy.
I see it reflected in so many ways.
It’s the kind of mindset that the British Airways union leaders demonstrated before Christmas when they tried to organize a 12 day strike over the holiday period.

I have a confession: because I’m building a new travel site I’ve not had time to research, plan and write my usual article for today.
So I’ve pulled together the top 5 blogs I follow on a daily basis.
These are the places to which I turn for inspiration and guidance. Some of them I’ve followed for a number of years, a couple of them only for the past few months.
But all of them are written, owned and managed by people I respect enormously for what they’ve achieved online. They’re all people who not only talk the talk, they walk the walk too.
Note that some of the links below are affiliate links. That means that if you sign up for something I’ll get a bit of beer money.
Here they are, then – the top 5 blogs I follow on a daily basis:

I’ve set up a new category on this site for interviews.
I plan to do one (possibly more) each month with people who offer a service or have experience and knowledge that would be interesting and valuable if you’re running an online business.
These interviews are intended as a resource for you. There’s usually no financial gain for me, although occasionally I may refer to products or services for which I’m an affiliate.
In those cases I will make my affiliation very clear.
I mentioned in my disclosure that I do not do paid product reviews. I also will not do paid interviews.
So, kicking off the monthly interviews is Stephan Vassen of Connaxis.

A statement of the obvious? Not necessarily.
When I first started researching the idea of working online I found a gazillion sites offering me ‘foolproof’ systems that would ‘guarantee’ to have me earning thousands a week by this time next month.
And none of them involved a product.
Many (if not most) of the MLM or Direct Sales type businesses I’ve seen, some of which do have good products behind them, focus on signing up new members.
Not on the products.

What do you really want for your blog?
If I’m to believe Johnny B Truant’s message it isn’t your first answer.
And I do believe him because, honestly, the answer I’ve given myself for a long time is not the real answer either.
I’ve spent months (years, actually) focused solely on building up traffic for my blog. So my answer to anyone asking me what my goal for my blog is would have been ‘traffic’, or ‘readers’. (And more of both).
But I’d have been wrong.
