Now Reading ...
Have you ever regret of the condition of your blog? And suddenly, another blogger just coming up with the same topic as your blog and become successful faster than you?
Well, don’t be.
It’s all about our blogging pace. Blogging Pace is your speed of growth in blogging. Everybody have their own speed in blogging. Don’t regret if your pace is slower than anybody else.
Just keep in mind the story of “Rabbit and Turtle race“.
But don’t get me wrong. No all fast pace blogger is a cocky rabbit.
Those bloggers are just ‘in the luck’ or they have a past experiences about blogging and could make a good use of nowadays technologies to boost their stats faster than yours.
Being a turtle is not bad at all. You should realize that as long as you keep crawling, your will arrive at your destination. Just put some patience in it. And you will be happy with your future achievement.
I’ve been following some blogger who really have a ‘very’ fast pace.
Ramkarthik from bloggingtune.com is one of them. I’m really proud of his achievement. In less than 1 month, he manage to generate 3500+ visitors to his blog with the support of nowadays technology.
Compare my stats and his for 15 days achievement, oh… It’s hell and heaven! soo faaarr! 
If you feel that you are a ‘turtle’ too. Join me in the story!
Ramkarthik is a fast rabbit, and me is a slow turtle. But something has make story different. It’s the attitude of modern human and “we are not in the classic story anymore!”
The recent ‘rabbits’ is very kind already. They will not as cocky as the story. They will teach ‘Turtle’ how to run faster, or even set up a jet pack for turtle to buzz ahead!
As a Turtle, I need to be ‘teachable’ too! Accepting help from rabbit, and learn from rabbit on how to ‘jump’ in the race. If I could ‘jump’, I could set up momentums to keep jumping along the race, and reach the finish line quicker!
What I mean ‘jump’ is illustrated in this picture (inspired by problogger.net)
Imagine turtle can jump, we could really make things faster!
Each Jump will generate more traffic, and more subscriber to your blog using nowadays technology like stumbleupon, digg, netscape and reddit.
No deep discussion about them here. I think those quick rabbits have set up a nice ‘jumping’ strategies to help turtle stop crawling and start jumping!
Make sure to not become a shy turtle too. Shy turtle won’t achieve anything if it just keep hiding in the shell. Turtle need to go out from shell and start running in the race.
Hopefully, Turtle and Rabbit could reach the goal together faster, hand by hand, and celebrate the race together!
~ The End ~
The wisdom is this story:
- Follow your own pace
- Be teachable
- Seek for modern technology to help your blog
- Don’t stubborn
- Ask for expert help if you don’t know what to do
Stumble it!
Del.icio.us it!
Digg it!

I hope so, but I’m not.
Reply to Ken Xurabbit really love to jump. Each jump bring more subscriber and more visitors!
Oh, I hope I can deliver my message for my reader. I think this post is too hard to digest because I use too many assumption.

Ken, I don’t guess I’m a rabbit. You are an experienced rabbit while I’m a newbie. I’m happy to teach you(in fact I didn’t teach you but just reminded what you already knew)
. Very good story. In this world, Turtles need to start jumping and run fast, because the rabbits won’t be taking rest or sleeping at any point.

Interesting post. My personal policy has always been, “get there like a ninja .. before they know what’s happening, you’re already there” hehehe. Nice job buddy.
Reply to Brown Baron(August 28, 2007, 12:35 pm)
he he he. That’s is the stealth mode. Every marketer is doing this policy silently.
Reply to Ken XuThanks for commenting. I really like your ‘ninja’ idea.

Good analogy here. I try to be the rabbit, but I agree that it doesn’t really matter. Working at your own pace is much better than constantly comparing your site with your best competitor.

Thanks Michael. Glad to see you here again.
Everybody is trying to be a ‘rabbit’. But they get exhausted because not able to make a big jump like ‘rabbit’.
We should do what we could and don’t jealous by other’s achievement. Instead, we should feel motivated by their achievement.
