Inspiration: Chris Garrett
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008Who is Chris Garrett?
Chris Garrett is a well known blogger and consultant that I respect. I have followed his career for some time now, and have always enjoyed his writing. One of the most interesting things about Chris was his passion for blogging, especially two years ago where you couldn’t visit a popular blogging information site without seeing a post or two from Chris.
Chris Garrett has co-authored what is quickly being considered the “de facto” book on blogging, entitled Problogger - Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income.
He has also authored and co-authored a few other books over the course of his career related to blogging and programming.
Born in Canada, like myself, Chris now lives in the UK with his family. He has picked up the accent, but will always be Canadian.
Why am I a fan of his?
Chris has found a way to build a strong business online through branding himself, despite the numerous sites he has written on over his career. He has figured out a way to promote himself, and his services while maintaining integrity.
Chris is currently running an Authority Blogger forum and course, as well as working on Performancing branded projects for Splashpress Media.
He has dealt with many of the things I, as a personal brand, am dealing with now, and was able to succeed, despite the numerous things on his plate. Chris is an inspiration.
