I look at Internet marketing as an exponential growth pattern:

2×2=4, 2×4=8, 2×8=16. 2×16=32. 2×32=64. 2×64=128…..

See how quickly you can obtain 128 once you already have 64? That seems to be the rule and that's why the gurus have it easier. It's much easier to increase what you already have – it's harder to obtain it in the first place.

For example, let's say you currently have 50 visitors a day and a Guru has 5,000 a day. If you both post an article that doubles your traffic, you will increase to 100 while the Guru increases to 10,000! The conversion is the same and the percentage is the same, but the Guru obviously wins out. So yes, it seems to be easier for the gurus.

Yes it's definitely true that we are forever a student, especially in this sort of industry. The internet is changing constantly so you have to keep learning to stay in touch.

It truly is a lot of work, I chose to blog after reading blogs for several months and felt I had something to say. Okay that was post one. And I struggled to come up with post two, three and four..so I threw myself back into the reading pool and absorbed more information and wrote about it. I repeat the steps every other day, read write read write.

Blogging is not as easy as the pros make it look and like you said Greg, I keep my sleeves rolled up and a note pad close at hand to jot down wayward ideas. :)

Keller,

I appreciate your taking the time to run this post. I enjoyed writing the post. The process helped me work through the question of why I've enjoyed my last year of blogging. I think it comes down to the fact that I simply enjoy learning...

@GrowMap -- You're right. I never could have guessed (before I started blogging) how the process would impact me personally. You start these projects expecting to provide for others, and end up getting out more for yourself in the process.

Glad to have you as a reader, and look forward to seeing your new blog project.

@Brad -- I've always loved learning, but the process of blogging has taken it to an entirely new level. Sounds like we have that in common...

Greg,

Interesting post. I just remarked to my wife yesterday that I feel like I have learned more in the past two weeks starting my blog than I did in many of the courses I took in college. I love to learn new things, but I really didn't associate that passion for learning with the love I have already developed for blogging. Thanks for making that connection for me.

Perhaps only other bloggers truly appreciate all that goes into continually learning and improving on what we do or realize how much time we save others who benefit from what we so painstakingly research and then concisely share.

I am thankful to successful bloggers like Keller who share their platforms so that we can find other quality blogs to frequent. Glad I found you, Greg. Your blog is related to a new one I will be launching – great for both of us.
