As you would have figured out by now, I’m never quite satisfied with my blog. As I learn more about the art and science of blogging, I find more and more things on the blog that need to be fixed. Yesterday was my day off from work and I spent most of it working on the biggest tweak on my blog ever since I shifted from Wordpress.com.
The thing is, Gauravonomics is not one blog anymore, I have split it into two separate blogs -
- At Gauravonomics Blog, I’ll write about blogging, marketing and personal development. If you want to read about what I’m thinking about, head over here.
- At Gauravonomics Diary, I’ll write about love, life and pop culture. If you want to read about what I’m doing/ feeling/ reading/ watching/ listening to, this is the blog to read.
I split the blog into two because I found myself writing for two separate sets of readers on the same blog. My older readers wanted more personal posts about what was happening in my life, but the focus of the blog had moved to what was happening in my head, resulting in a new set of readers looking for posts on marketing, technology and blogging tips. With the split, I’ll find it easier to have meaningful conversations with both sets of readers.

As part of my 30-by-30 quest, I’m asking my friends to write guest posts on my blog offering tips on how I should go for one or more of the thirty goals in my list.
Today, using my Technorati Favorites Exchange, I managed to get Gauravonomics into the Technorati Top 100 list, one of the more ambitious goals in my list.
There won’t be a better day ever, then, to have the first guest post in the 30-by-30 series, on the other very ambitious goal in my list - have assets of more than a crore.
Ranjan Varma writes about business and finance at Weblog on Business and Finance where he has cross-posted his advice to me.

Gaurav’s post on the thirty things he wanted to do before he is thirty was a brave one. I wondered at his bravery and wished him all the best only to land up in trouble myself - he wants a way to build a net worth of one crore before he is thirty and now wants me to find it!

Tony Hung has the last word on the “A-listers vs. blue-collar bloggers” debate he started by saying that being an A-lister isn’t about blogging ability, or traffic, or Adsense earnings, or being highly regarded; it is about leveraging your real-life persona to act as an influencer online.
Here’s my take - if you didn’t start blogging in 2002 (or before that), and if you are not a celebrity in your own right, forget about being on the A-list and find other definitions of blogging nirvana.
