Confessions of a Six Figure Professional Blogger

2 Bloggers Doing It Right

As we head into the Christmas holiday, I thought I would end off the week by featuring two more bloggers who are doing it right.

Corvida Raven

Corvidajpg Corvida is young tech blogger who discusses social media and all things tech. She really is the consummate blogger and networker.

I believe she first crossed my radar back when I was a more frequent participator at FriendFeed. She was consistently networking with some of the other leading tech bloggers. She also used to be a writer for ReadWriteWeb, another blog I read.

Today, she writes on her own blog, SheGeeks. She also co-founded EverythingTwitter and she is also on the SocialGeeks RoundTable Podcast.

As for what she’s doing right, her content is obviously stellar. But, I would best sum her up as an awesome networker. One time, for instance, I made a comment on Twitter about Facebook Connect. It spiked her curiosity, so she DMed me and asked if she could talk to me on the phone about it. Because I knew of her, I said OK and in less than 5 minutes she and I were talking on the phone. Absolutely no back off. There are so many people who would be shy about reaching out like that.

Corvida is connected with the players in tech blogging because she realizes the power of personal networking.

You can check out SheGeeks.net and follow @corvida on Twitter.

Jordan Cooper

Jordan just recently came onto my radar. In fact, I think he is literally brand new to blogging. So, I’m sure I’m about to surprise the hell out of him by featuring him here. His blog absolutely cracks me up, though. It is called Not A Pro Blog. It is an irreverent look at blogging, social media & marketing.

Jordan is a stand-up comedian, with 15 years of experience in the field of entertainment. He isn’t new to the tactics of marketing, however. His first blog post was on December 2nd. His numbers aren’t high. But I can tell the guy gets it.

Jordan is bringing his comedy background to the world of blogging. This is something new this market hasn’t really seen, and I really think he could kick ass in all the right ways. I consider myself a new fan, Jordan. :)

As a sampler, here is his video opt-in teaser for joining his email list. Hilarious!

Check out Not A Pro Blog, and you can follow @notaproblog on Twitter.

  • I first saw Jordan's "Exclusive E-Mail Blog Newsletter" a little while ago and loved it. Since, then I've seen him all over the internet. Already had his blog in my Google Reader.

    First I've heard of Corvida Raven, but I'll be paying attention now.
  • Jordan Cooper is hilarious. Bringing humor to the web...its about time.
  • Jordan is awesome, a regular on my site. What an amazing guy. You are so on the money with this post David, there is no-one like Jordan on the circuit at the moment, although watch this space for cookie cutter comics trying to replicate what Jordan has.

    Happy Christmas dude, FYI 2010 is mine!
  • The guy in the video is totally crazy (in the good sense of the word) :-)
  • Very good look into two great bloggers. I enjoyed the read, good luck to both of you!
  • People who have said the video is hilarious: 184
    E-mail newsletter subscribers to date: 2

    I think I need to work on my conversion rate.
  • Pretty sure I subscribed Jordan! Don't remember getting a follow up email though o.O!

    It's awesome you're listed here. You've got a great unique blog going on that all bloggers that know a little something can understand your humor. Hope you get a comedic gig at blog world ;)
  • Make that 3 Jordan - That's 50% up on your previous figure already. :)
  • Hopefully one day I will be in the elite category
    of being a problogger. Right now I am focused
    on providing quality content to all of my blog readers.

    I am looking forward to taking it to the next level
    coming into the new year
  • Haha, this guy is totally awesome! I would be ashamed to stand in front of webcam and talk like this, but he doesn't have that problem obviously.

    Yes, lots of people would definitely sign-up under him just because of this haha
  • Jordan rocks! I found him through your tweets, David. And that e-mail subscription video was hilarious :D. Never heard of Corvida so that's another blogger I'll be keeping my eyes on.
  • Thanks for introducing these two bloggers. Enjoyed reading about them.

    A lot of good bloggers out there but bringing a few into focus allows us to learn from them.
