Merlin Mann’s Advice to Bloggers Who Want to Take it Seriously
- Give away more stuff than you think you should and make it easy for people to get.
- Focus on diverse secondary revenue streams and always have eyes open for new and replacement ones.
- Don’t do stuff that seems profitable but potentially messes up why people like you.
Found in this wonderful audio from a talk Merlin and John Gruber gave at SXSW in 2009. Highly recommended.
