PRLog (Press Release) - Jul 15, 2007 -
In an exclusive interview with business blog Create Business Growth, popular blogger Jonathan Phillips of Smart Wealthy Rich reveals how grew an active online community and a revenue-generating blog in just five months.  

Building community and web traffic is one of the primary obstacles that most new bloggers say that they face.  In fact, according to various web statistics, many new bloggers abandon their blogs after only a few months when they have not realized any results.

“Jonathan is one of the best bloggers out there in terms of engaging his readers and sparking reader dialogue.  According to many top bloggers, the number and quality of a blog’s comments are the real measure of a blog’s success, not page rank or web traffic,” says Christine O’Kelly, internet growth strategist and contributing writer at Create Business Growth (http://www.createbusinessgrowth.com).

In the interview, Jonathan explains how he began his blogging journey like many bloggers, with no real knowledge of blogging and no idea of what to expect.  Within 3 months, Jonathan was hooked on blogging and flying to Chicago to attend Liz Strauss’ SOBCon blogging conference.  It was at this conference that he discovered the critical element that was limiting his blog’s success.  Once implemented, Jonathan’s blogging popularity skyrocketed.
