But, i have read your text, and to be honest, found it very interesting.

I especially liked the “No Interaction With Commentators”. It’s a very important part of a website-visitor communication. You can’t just expect people to write something in the comments, and not give any kind of feedback. The lack of time is understandable, but for those kinds of stuff you should always have a little time

You’re earnings estimates are correct but in the same time they shouldn’t dictate your problogger status.

Judging by the amount of comments this post has I presume you’re a pretty good blogger dedicated to his community making you a pro blogger.

Glad I’ve commented on this post!

Cheers,

They say that posts can’t or shouldn’t contain all the information, partly because people have short attention spans.

More like if you give them everything in a post what’s left to give to your list subscribers. As I’m not worried about that my best bet is to give them all the information while they’re here.

BTW, your subscribe to comment seems to be working now.

I’m glad you are not bashing list building indiscriminately and recognize the possibility of good list usage that doesn’t bug those who opt in to death with a constant push to buy something.

Nowadays most lists are a double opt in so people can think twice whether to opt in.

And they can unsubscribe any time if they don’t receive what they thought they would.

I think it’s great if you put everything on your blog.
There are people who advise against it but I’m not sure why.

Oh, I think I know. They say that posts can’t or shouldn’t contain all the information, partly because people have short attention spans.

For those who want more detailed info they can get most or some of it in a newsletter or in email broadcast.

In any case I’m no expert and I believe that the beauty of blogging is in the freedom to do things as one see fit.

Email list can be used for interaction in conjunction with a blog.

There is a proper way to use it and having a list can be used for the benefit of everybody.

I know what you mean when you mention that all you ever got emailed to you was a sales pitch. Some people use their list as their ATM and they openly admit it.

In such cases all that needs to be done is unsubscribe.

I have done that with most marketers. But there are few who send free valuable info for the most part and an occasional promo. I can live with that just as I can with some promos and ads on most blogs, yours included.

It’s not the amount of money that one makes from their blog that determines their professionalism.

You are a pro as many people here already expressed and I think that you do like to make money even if you would do this for free.
