Darren Rowse, founder of Problogger.net is one of the most prolific blogger who also happens to be a speaker, author, consultant and online entrepreneur. Other than being an expert in blogging, he also provides photography tips at Digital Photography School.

His blogging journey started back in 2002 from a blog called Livingroom, where he wrote about spirituality, pop culture, politics and life in Australia. "Back in 2002 I stumbled upon an article about ‘Blogging’. I didn’t know it at the time but that moment changed my life. I know that statements like that belong on those cheesy ‘buy my book’ sites (don’t worry I’m not selling anything) but it is actually true." recalls Rowse.


Needless to say that he is one of the best guys to give advice about blogging, writing and making a living through the Internet.  Therefore, we'e compiled a list of not only inspiring, but also sensible and practical words of wisdom from him. Although, I found that the best advice in this list is from his son, (the last quote in the list) have a look:



"There are no magic wands, no hidden tricks, and no secret handshakes that can bring you immediate success, but with time, energy, and determination you can get there."


"A blog is a type of website that is usually arranged in chronological order from the most recent ‘post’ (or entry) at the top of the main page to the older entries towards the bottom."


"Love your readers to death!"


"People are fascinated with what other people are doing in the niche."


"I sat there for the next 3 hours and watched the sales coming in. A bizarre surreal experience of $150,000 in sales in a week. But for 2 1/2 years, I was building and designing the site and doing press releases at 3am and working 12 hours a day… I remembered that success wasn’t an overnight thing."


"The Internet makes money for you when you build something that is real and when it matters to people!"


"The day that my wife told me (or that we decided) was the day I was petrified and motivated….that was the day I began to read about my readers and what they wanted, that was the day I stopped dreaming about my blog as a business and started treating it as a business!"


"I encourage you to treat your blog as a business now!"


"My son said to me: “Daddy, Be sure to say something important to the world."
