50 Most Influential People In Blogging 2010

By: Michael Dunlop     Topics: Blogging     More posts about: Success

Well it’s that time of year again, the leaves are starting to fall, the weather is getting colder and the day’s are becoming shorter, guess that means its time for the annual “Top 50 Influential Bloggers of 2010” then.
It’s great to see how many young bloggers are starting to come through the ranks now, and they’re not too shabby either. I must admit I do enjoy seeing the success of the younger bloggers a little more than the veterans, purely because they are coming from the same place I did those 4 years ago.
However the more seasoned bloggers, give you the inspiration and the motivation to achieve not only what they have already, but possibly become even bigger and better than they are. That however is not an easy task!
Then there are the veteran bloggers the die-hard big boys (and girls) that just never seem to stop and never seem to drop their continuous stream of brilliantly written content. The blogging community is thriving as always and I think it may only be the start. Want to be on the list next year? Try my FREE Blogging eCourse out! Remember to share this with your friends:

Top 50 Bloggers Making Money Online

#1 Collis Ta’eed

Why has Collis Ta’eed made the list?

The Netsetter! He had to be top of the list right? Not only is his blog one of the best, it is designed well, visually exciting and appealing and the content is most certainly king here. Collis Ta’eed Is one of those bloggers that is extraordinarily good at his writing skills. Collis Ta’eed is the CEO of Envato, and he started Netsetter in 2009, basically as an outlet for him to get rid of some of those excess thoughts. His personal blog alone has over 4,500 RSS subscribers, his twitter following has risen to over 1,400 and he still keeps going. Why is he Numero Uno in today’s list? From living in his in-laws garage to becoming the CEO of Envato in less than five year! how can he not be.

#49 Rob Rammuny

Why has Rob Rammuny made the list

Rob Rammuny wants to help you to have the online lifestyle that you crave. He needs to teach, advise and share with his fellow bloggers and readers alike. Did I mention he is only 16 years old? That correct 16yrs! It’s so fresh and inspiring to see someone with such talent and diversity create such a fantastic blog with great content and advice especially at such a tender young age. I can see big things ahead for Rob. His main aim is to get out of the rat-race and leave the 9-5 lifestyle before he even has to join it, and I’d have to agree that it’s definitely the right choice. Why work for others when you are perfectly good at working for yourself? I really hope Rob keeps up his terrific work and I look forward to what he does in the future.

#50 Chris Guthrie

Why has Chris Guthrie made the list?

Chris Guthrie earns a six figure income from working online. He’s only 26yrs old and already he is a big name in the blogging world. He first started working for his own business back in school, trading pokemon cards for money, this early lesson in business eventually got the better of him and he decided working for an employer just wasn’t going to cut it. He eventually ended up as an online marketer after “playing too much Halo 2”. How many people can boast that playing a video game could lead them to a career of such magnitude? Well it wasn’t entirely Halo 2 that helped him, getting fired must have been a factor too, but nonetheless, with monthly incomes of $13,000 and more a month, he must be doing something right.
