Simon’s Notes

One of my favorite times of the day is when I get a little time to browse around the blogsphere, and meet other bloggers and check out their interesting blogs, sometimes you come across a real winner. TylerCruz.com is a winner in every sense of the word. I first noticed Tyler Cruz on John Chow’s top commentators list, but I didn’t really take much notice till I realized that he was also linked to on John’s sidebar. I don’t know what he did to get there but I’d certainly like to hear that story.

Tyler is a 23 year old internet entrepreneur. Thats not much older than I am and already he’s had so much success. Thats one of the things that I like about him, it shows me that it can be done.

Tyler does a lot of work in web publishing and design, and you really notice it with his blog. The layout is done in a very professional manner without any excess clutter. There are very few ads on this blog, or at least he hides them very well. My impression is that he organizes his own advertising, I got this impression from the few banners he has up. If this is the case then that would be another thing I like about him, its easy to just pop any old ad from any old service such as adsense, but it really makes a blog professional when you start selling your own ad space.

One of the things that is occupying my mind quite a lot at the moment is getting my RSS feed subscribers up, thats why I especially like to see other bloggers blogging about reaching their subscriber goals, like Tyler passing the 700 subscriber mark. Please tell me your secret, I was quite happy today when my subscribers jumped from 13 to 15.

This is yet another blog to add to my ‘where I want to be in a few months’ list, and I know that if I keep reading and learning from Tyler’s excellent advice, I’ll reach my goal too.
