I think you hit on a couple of issues. One, unless you have no life outside of blogging, don't let it consume you like a disease. Secondly, I completely agree with you about loyal readership. Just because someone creates a blog on a popular topic doesn't mean that you will have loyal followers. Your content is what will really draw people into your site as loyal followers and promote interesting conversations. Thanks for your comments and stop back again! @ pablopabla,

There is no way I could fit all of them into one blog. As a result, I've given birth to a bunch of blogs. Do I get burned out? Not really. I blog when I want to blog simply because it remains a hobby and not something which I would want to control over my life. What I discovered is that some of my loyal readers are subscribers to all of the above blogs. I guess after a period of time where relationship has been formed, the reader identifies the blogger as a unique individual behind the whole list of blogs he authors.

I asked quite a few people for their opinions on the topic and did some research for it too. I think having a variety of opinions helps you to formulate your own opinion and gain insight into the trends of the internet and blogging in general. @ Keely,

You don't see a lot of opinion roundups on this topic, you mostly see only the author's own opinion. I enjoyed reading something different. Good job.

We have talked before about this topic, and I agree that some people think they are above associating with "the little guy". It is a shame, as they were once just starting out. Maybe a good topic for another article!? Mike,

Sorry to hear some of the responses you got were less than satisfactory. There are some pretty arrogant people out there. As soon as they regularly get a dozen or more comments on each post some become elitists. Gods in their own mind. In the big scheme of things, though, a lot of these people are piss ants. Having a popular blog is one thing, but thinking that if one is popular in a particular niche market (nothing new in that by the way) that they are well-known and somehow famous is another --- an illusion in their own mind. Popularity is gauged not by those within the niche market, it's once you get known across many markets. And once that does happen, there's still no place for arrogance. I noted a lot of that when I first got into this industry and I still do see too much of it. Write someone an email and they can't be bothered. That's a shame. Nicely written article Elliott.
