Super Star Bloggers You Need To Check Out
It is around 3 years since I first started blogging and if you have been following My Story you will know I have come along way.
But what is most amazing to me is just how far some of my featured Top Bloggers of 2009 have come. It almost feels crazy to think that many of these bloggers started their blogs at home, in a spare room or bedroom, just like most of us and yet today they are ‘famous‘ all over the world for their blogging.
I have said it many times on this site and in my Blogging eCourse – the OPPORTUNITIES in blogging are almost endless and today’s post of the fifty most influential bloggers of 2009 proves it.
Before you check out the list completely I would like to just draw attention to 3 individuals in particular who have been a huge inspiration to me. (Actually very hard to pick out three – because as soon as I did it – I could think of three more who equally could appear here)
The first is our No 1 Blogger (Video Blogger) – Gary Vaynerchuk. I was fortunate last September to visit with Gary in his offices in New York and do this interview. I don’t think I really need to explain why Gary is No 1. You would have to be living under a rock in the last 12 months to not know who Gary is.
Gary comes out with the most profound statements – he states the TRUTH in a unique and inspiring way and the quote below by Gary acts as a very good reminder to all of us.
”People are always talking about what you’re doing now… To me, it’s not what you’re doing now, it’s about where you’re going.”
The second individual I would like to give a special mention to is Timothy Sykes. I have also met with Timothy in New York (a different trip) and his insights and business wisdom has been a huge help to me personally. Timothy has also done an interview for me and you can find it in this Earning Big Money With Blogging post.
And finally there is my good friend James Schramko. James is such an amazing guy and a very generous teacher who has been a huge influence on what I have done with IncomeDiary.com. You can see my interview with James at this post: Work At Home Dad – Dominates Affiliate Marketing
Please Note
There is no scientific way to choose those who are on the list, these are purely the people who I know have impacted the way I and my friends do blogging. If you feel that we have missed anyone out, please leave a comment below.
I hope you are inspired you to follow in the footsteps of these most influential bloggers of 2009 – I know I am
I look forward to your comments below and it would also be great to hear who has inspired you the most to build a better blog!
To Our Success

Suzanne de Cornelia
24. Nov, 2009
Thanks for the terrific list–many I didn’t know and learned a lot–which need as have a new blog to get up to speed. BTW–Arianna Huffington has millions of monthly readers [not thousands]. Her traffic rank is #44 in the U.S. ie–love Gary Vaynerchuck but his is around 50K [of course he didn't have AH's $20M+ capitalization.] However, the 23-yr old ‘girl’ publisher of eatliverun.com didn’t have any $ either, and her traffic stats are twice as high as Gary V’s.
Thanks again–this is a quality list of great info and very much appreciated!
Willie
10. Dec, 2009
Hmm. It probably was tasking compiling this list. I happen to know a very few of them in the sense that I have been able to visit their blogs or received emails from them. People like Rosalind Gardner from whose blog I got to know of this subject, Rob Benwell, Steve Pavlina and I think I have heard of Yaro Starak. Great work, Michael. This gives people more blogs to visit and gain one or more things from.
Robert Bravery

Hey Jalal,
I was just thinking the same thing. Imagine how many blogs you’d have to go through. In case you’re wondering, mine was #51 (in my imagination)
Cheryl from thatgirlisfunny

Fantastic list! I’m surprised and delighted to find some people I know, have worked with or whose blogs I have visited on this list. The blogosphere really is a small world. I’m going to visit one person a day and soak in all this good wisdom. Thank you for putting this list together.

Thanks Michael for an excellent list. This would make me the newbie on the block. I’ll admit it. I’m new to blogging. I started my blog four months ago and I’ve had 6,000 visitors.
I read a lot and when I come across bloggers who say they get a thousand a day, I say, show me the money, honey.
In the mean time, I’m read,ing, learning and respecting the 50 on the list. My goal is to be on the list, but I think it’s going to take some time to get known.
Any of the 50 on the list or visitors here willing to help out a new girl? I’d TRULY appreciate it.
Looking forward to your visit.
Julie
I’d like add too that those are some nice looking pix you’ve chosen. Maybe I need to get something more professional, what do you think?

That’s a huge list of pro blogger! I feel proud of HongKiat as he is one of the pro blogger in my country, Malaysia. I’m follower of some other pro blogger like DarrenRowse, Daniel from DailyBlogTips, JohnChow and etc, I’ve learned quite a lot things from them when I first started my blog.
Thank you Michael for the great list!
Cheers,
Lee

I will not say hope to be in this list, I will try to make my own list and be in other lists.But the point is to make money with your blog, be happy and have fun.All the rest are simply science fiction since so many people could make their own lists!

Wow this some heck of a list topping with Gary V. He has changed the way you are able to interact with your market and what that market is. Again your list posts are outstanding best of the web. Thanks

Good list here. All of these bloggers and entrepreneurs are a huge inspration to myself and others. I noticed not a lot use their own name in the domain name…I wonder if you can still make it with branding your personal name? I see John Chow and a few others but maybe they are the exception to the rule.
Anyway, great list, keep up the great work and I am so glad I found this!
Nate.

Wow! What a great list. I never thought that my friend Carl would be included here. I think Carl don’t do much blogging this year because he is very busy on his studies.
But I still saw Carl open his personal email and we sometimes do chatting. Thanks for this Michael. I will try my very best to be one of the stars in blogging. hehehe… I am just dreaming.
