I agree with you that she's most definitely the real thing. I sensed it the moment I set foot in her blog after learning about her from a post you wrote. Both my readers and I are grateful to have learned about her. Like you, I've also learned a lot from her. For instance, she inspired me through one of her articles to go back and change the title of many of my older posts to include the word "I" in it. She said the reason her subscriber count went way up was because of that one word in the title of many of her articles. It inspired me tremendously and so I went and did it. It felt great! Only time will tell if it works for me as well as it did for her. Finally, what you're saying is what I've known since becoming one of her subscribers: she is authentic and speaks from experience. I learn a lot from people like that. You're the same way! I'm glad you enjoyed my interview with her. There's many more coming! It's an exciting time for me at Adversity University - thanks for being a part of it. Michael:

Her place in my network is definitely in the "top 5". I've learned a lot from her. She has a great way of tying her words to her life and actions so that there's no disparity between what she does and what she says. To read her is to learn from her actions and her example. Thanks for a great interview, Stephen. <em>Michael Martine's last blog post..<a href='http://www.michaelmartine.com/2008/01/16/how-i-increased-my-rss-subscribers-to-900-in-2-weeks/'>How I Increased My RSS Subscribers to Nearly 900 in Less than 2 Weeks</a></em> Christine is the real thing.

To tell you the truth, I do want to monetize this blog but first I want to build a strong, solid community and then gradually I'll add a donate button, some ads so that I can develop alternative streams of income. My goal is to be 80% about people/inspiration and 20% about making money but that's down the road. @Karen: I'm glad you enjoyed Christine's story. She commented to me recently about the amazing quality of the type of readers at this blog. I continue to be grateful to have those kinds of readers. What matters is not the level of traffic the blog gets becuase people come and go over time but what matters is those who have been faithful subscribers - people like you! @Corinne: You have an interesting point about “when all the bloggers who are busy selling each other programs to make more money are sick of it, we’ll still be here.” To tell you the truth, I do want to monetize this blog but first I want to build a strong, solid community and then gradually I’ll add a donate button, some ads so that I can develop alternative streams of income.

Discovered a new friend for all of us in the personal growth field. This is a great one. When all the bloggers who are busy selling each other programs to make more money are sick of it, we will still be here. We have to support this niche. It is important to mankind. We are all suffering mortals. Christine is a great example of not being afraid to start all over. Thanks for her! Well, Stephen – you’ve done it again.

Christine is a great example of not being afraid to start all over. Thanks for her!

It feels good to merge their energy and those of the interviewees (like yourself) together. They know I appreciate good people because they themselves are special. I hope your own readers are enjoying my interview with you as well! Christine:

Thanks Phil. You really did start me down this path without even realizing it. As you can see, I've modified the interview, adding, substracting and customized it a bit. You introduced to me the idea of passing it forward so that's what I'm doing. Together, we've taken the art of pimping other bloggers to a fine art! Phil:
