Who is it that decides who will be the most popular bloggers and who will be left banging their head against the keyboard?
You might think that it is the “people,” or you might even think that Google and the other search engines are the ones who decide who the most popular bloggers will be. Although the search engines and the people do hold a lot of influence, most bloggers who have worked their way up to the Rockstar level got there in a way that might come as a surprise.
Most great bloggers got appointed to their positions of fame by other bloggers, namely the inner circle of bloggers for that niche.
Now, I know that you may not be interested in returning to the high-school social scene where everything was about being more popular. The pursuit of being popular and accepted by “the group” mandated all types of conformities.
