Actually, you should go and read his article on becoming an early riser. Contrary to what you might be thinking, jarhead, it's about rising from bed every morning refreshed and energetic, without the need for an alarm clock, or the sensation that your lazy tail needs external machinery to get up in the first place, stupid.

Your blog looks really fun, Amy!
As for getting more interaction, do you ask your readers questions or post any controversial opinions? That seems to get people interested in commenting.

I put my heart and soul into my blog, because I love it. Sometimes it just feels like a monkey on my back because it's always there, needing to be written, but I wouldn't give it up. I just wish I could figure out how to get more interaction from my readers. I have a decent number, but no one comments. Drives me crazy trying to figure out how other people do it!

Steve's success is due to his compelling writing style and inspiring topics. And, like it or not, those simple "how-tos" are often the biggest drivers of traffic.
Reading a blog is a lot like reading your favorite column in a paper or magazine. Even if you aren't really interested in a particular topic, if you like the author you'll probably still read and enjoy it. I think it's fantastic that people can make a living providing free content to millions of readers.

OK, this is too funny. SET YOUR ALARM CLOCK TO 5:30 AM, STUPID. And then get your lazy tail out of bed. End of story. How much does this guy get for this brilliance? WOW!!!

It was nice to see Steve's name on here. His articles are helping me get through some tough times in my life.

You don't mention blogging for others here? I'm a problogger who writes for business people primarily in the professional/personal development and speaking industries. I'm surviving, but I anticipate I'll actually thrive off this business.
I don't think I've made any money off my personal blogs via advertising, but I am paid monthly fees for blogging for others.
