After releasing lists like ‘The Highest Paid Bloggers‘ and ‘The Top Bloggers In The World‘, IncomeDiary.com is back with another hugely informational post detailing ‘The 50 Most Influential Bloggers of 2009′…he is far too kind to put me at #4, but let’s face it, most of the other people on that list haven’t innovated providing commentary and getting ads since AOL acquired Netscape!
Don’t be afraid to try new things people, the blogosphere is still brand new and we have no idea what’s gonna work in the long run.
Before I get to the list, I gotta embed a video that John Chow (#22 on the list) was kind enough to record of Pallian and I speaking about how to have a membership site and make $60k/month at the Blogworld Expo…Lisa M. recorded a video that wasn’t just my head so that’s cool too if you want to see what Pallian looks like…our session was moderated by the excellent Jim Krukal. It was also awesome to meet blog kings Zac Johnson and CopyBlogger (Look how polite I am to link to everyone, this is what we learn to do at Blogworld, blehhhhhh…)
Enjoy and learnnnnn:
