Lots of people know that Darren Rowse’s (Problogger’s ) total number of subscribers exceeds now 500,000 (that’s only on problogger.net). But how? How did he come this far? I don’t think he will ever tell the real reasons about it, though… he has lots of posts that shout how and why he did those certain things.

Let me bring some main tips. These are just a few of them.

• On his first steps Darren Rowse spent really much time on commenting and communicating on forums in his niche. He told that several times on his blog.
• There are no advertising blocks from adsense and similar ads on his blog posts which does its content more pleasant for reading. Only some his own ads under the main content.
• Darren Rowse has unique self-discipline. It means that if he’s got some task or a problem – he keeps solving it until it’s done. That’s really impressive and that gives its award.
• He really does lots of stuff. He writes almost about every aspect of blogging. And he does that regularly. To be exact, he publishes everyday a new post at the same time.
• Darren Rowse has been making his name for a long time (about 4-5 years). And now this name works for him. It’s very important to keep your image which you’ve chosen on your way to success. Just keep developing your image and someday another Darren Rowse will be born.
• He doesn’t stop studying in his niche and the main thing is that he wishes to study. Now you probably think that I will tell you that Darren shares all the knowledge he gets with his audience. No, I won’t tell that. His readers receive only some specific piece of knowledge which they can understand. And the sure thing is that Darren decides what piece would that be. Just think of it…
• In spite of the fact that Darren Rowse is financially independent now, he’s created dozens of rules for himself. One of the reason of his success is that he follows the rules.
• Besides, he started his business very early. I mean that when Darren was beggining – he was one of the first ones who had written about making money on Internet. That’s very important to be the first one in your niche.
• Darren Rowse also has 2 other great websites Digital-Photography-School and Twitip. Having those 3 great websites really makes your audience come from almost everywhere.
• He is everywhere! He meets other bloggers from other cities and countries. Now he’s, actually, on the banner.. presenting Chitika Premium! He made several videos for Adsense. And I guess a lot more things, that I just didn’t see. These actions are both useful for him and his advertiser. And I wouldn’t be surprised if I’d knew that they co-operate free.

Update from 25 November – Something isn’t right about Darren:

Today I was listing Darren’s blog and the strange thought came to me. He, actually, teaches how to blog since he’s started blogging. Correct me, please, if I’m wrong! :)
