Top 8 Most Influential Bloggers

Speaking of Carl Ocab, he is now 15 years old and has tons of upcoming projects including speaking engagements, and other means of teaching how to make money online. Yes, he can...

But no, don't hate John Chow too much as he is among Carl's blogging buddies. In fact, the two made the first ever interview at Twitter just last week.

 

Yup Carl Ocab has some very useful information on his blog! I haven't had a chance to read it lately with all the projects I have been working on but I will have to take a look again soon. I always learn a thing or two by visiting his website.

As for John Chow. He does have some good things to say but at the same time lately he's been talking way too much about leisure and not money making techniques.

 

Actually, the super kid blogger is starting to join forces with his fellow (US-based) Filipino Internet marketer Joel Christopher.

If Joel's name did not ring a bell to you, his story has been mentioned in the 2nd book of Joel Comm - Click to Order (Stories of World's Most Successful Internet Marketing Entrepreneurs).

 

Hmm. No I haven't heard of Joel Christopher before. I know who Joel Comm is though. I will do some research on this and learn more about this guy. Thanks for the heads up.

 

I think that you can't really make a list like this - it's different for everyone. For me, Joost de Valk is a very influential blogger (http://yoast.com) but others might not thing that. It's more of a personal thing.

 

That's exactly it. This is my personal influential bloggers list. I am sure everyone will have a different list. The whole point of these thread is to expose some people to new bloggers so they can read their blogs and learn new things.

If you have a top 8 list you would like to share by all means feel free to post a list here!

 

Joel Christopher is considered as the Masterlist Builder. You can Google his name though.

Here's the top 100 Internet marketers of 2008 according to Invesp Consulting - http://www.invesp.com/2008/top-100-marketers-of-2008.html I am sure you will recognize some of them like Darren Rowse, John Chow, and my all-time favorite Brian Clark of Copyblogger.

But once and and for all, I think one must understand that bloggers don't make money - Internet marketers do. Bloggers focus on socializing, enjoy comments and followers. Internet marketers focus on making money alone, although it seems that they are not. That's why most social bloggers do not know them.

Darren Rowse has a very popular blog but he is considered as an Internet marketer.

 

That is a sweet list! Lots of good information there. Thanks for sharing!

 

You're welcome. However, you can also check out Seth Godin. He is the guy behind Squidoo, and his blog is the most popular among them all. He is also my all-time favorite and my most admired Internet marketer. His posts are very short, but the thoughts and philosophy have great lessons to learn. Looks weird but deep and powerful...

Unfortunately, he is NOT on the list and many are wondering why.

 

Good to know. I've used Squidoo a bit. I will check out his other work.

 

Shoemoney rarely offers anything of value. When he does write a good article, it's usually original and helpful and possibly even worth saving. The problem is, this happens maybe once a month. The rest of the time, he spends on stupid things like T-Shirt Friday and cage fighting and what have you.

 

Problogger is the best source for me, but I can't deny John Chow's influence.

 

Yeah I guess you are right. Not all of the time he provides quality content. However compared to a lot of the people out there is does have a lot of talent to make things work.

Yup Problogger is awesome! But John Chow has made a ton of traffic and has a lot of followers even if he talks about food all the time now

 

That usually happens with when people go from hungry to success. There is little incentive to continue greatness and they tend to sit back and rest of past accomplishments.

 

Agreed. But who wouldn't try and do that. I know I would do that kind of thing if I was making that much money. Everyone would like to think that they wouldn't but the fact is that most people would try to optimize how much they are making.
