Guest Writer: Gary Fugere
Gary Fugere of Earn a living without a job took me up on my call for posts by sending in his How to become the “Go To” in your niche.
This post, originally written as a submission to Darren Rowse’s 31-day challenge, offers head-on advice for getting in control of the information grapevine in your blogging niche. Main points that Gary covers include
- Be a reporter, not a writer. Readers are looking for answers.
- Get plugged in with a news aggregator such as Bloglines.
- Learn to find compelling content nuggets. He offers several strategies, including how to master the nuances of Bloglines search, Google Alerts, Yahoo Buzz, and Google Zeitgeist. I was impressed that everything you need to know is there and complete.
To finish off the document there are eighteen additional links to resources you might explore. This post is well worth checking out.
Here’s a taste of the resources Gary has to offer.
Thanks Gary for sharing what you know with us. This is what a community blog is all about. 😛

Looks like a nice read – anything with the word “niche” in it attracts my attention.
Good to give Bloglines another try via this article. I could never get into Bloglines, maybe it was just me but I find it hard to use, hard on the eyes … but I must be missing something because it’s still popular by a long margin.
Hi Martin,
Hope you found yourself some good sleep.
It’ is a nice read with lots of resources. Hope to talk with you when you get back from it.
