5 Wise Bloggers

This post was most recently updated on October 13th, 2017

https://www.donnamerrilltribe.comI want to introduce you to 5 wise bloggers who have been writing some really valuable articles lately.

I know each of these 5 wise bloggers very well and wanted to give them the recognition that they are so well deserving of.

More than that, since these posts are mostly about blogging, each one you visit will help you learn more about the art and business of blogging. 

So let’s get acquainted with these 5 wise bloggers, and explore some of their recent works.

Wise Blogger #1 –  Adrienne Smith

Adrienne recently wrote a fantastic article called “Why You Are Never Too Old To Blog.” 

I loved this post because there are so many baby boomers that may be at that retirement stage of life, or others that have been downsized out of their job.

Even better, there are many who anxiously seek entry into the business of blogging, and have so much to offer.

This article hit home with me because I didn’t start blogging until I was in my 50’s.

I had an offline practice consulting at the time, and was seeing many of my clients losing their jobs and retirement plans.

I wanted to explore online opportunities for them, and started this journey by becoming a blogger.

As my blog has become so successful, I have been able to open doors into online business for those who have followed me, and walked in my footsteps.

So, I certainly agree with Adrienne that you’re never too old to blog.

Wise Blogger #2  – Sherman Smith

Sherman has written a really interesting post on “How to Make Blogging Less Time Consuming.” 

Sherman gives 4 ways to make blogging less time consuming.

I was so compelled by this article that I just wrote a list of blog posts I plan to write over the next 3 summer months.

I plan to write them ahead of time and load them up as drafts. Then, all I have to do is press “publish” on their due dates, and spend more time at the beach!

There are some really great ideas here that will help bloggers to optimize their work time, while avoiding some of the all too common misconceptions that steer them off in the wrong direction.

If you’ve been finding blogging to be too much of a task for you to handle, yet you know how important blogging is to your online business success… this blog will really help you out.

I thank Sherman for the many great ideas he’s compiled in this article.

They are sure to help me, and all my blogging friends, to spend less time being busy, and more time being productive.

Wise Blogger #3  – Harleena  Singh (Aha Now)

Harleena has written an article titled “Blogging Basics: CRUX of Blogging Tips for New Blogger.” 

After 4 years of having an incredible blog, Harleena knows her stuff and she shares it with you in this post.

It’s an honest evaluation of what’s required to become a successful blogger, based on Harleena’s “in the trenches” experience.

As she points out, it’s no one thing, but a combination of many tasks.

New bloggers, though, don’t begin to know what these tasks are, or how to go about executing them.

No worries.

Harleena has laid it all out here in this post.

Wise Blogger #4  – Jens-Petter Berget

Jens recently wrote an article called “5 Most Important Reasons Why Bloggers Fail.”

In this post, he focuses on the journey of blogging.

I, too, consider blogging to be a journey.

Along the journey, there are attitudes and strategies that can serve you very well.

They can, in fact, help you stand out in the crowd.

They things that Jens talks about in this post are simple and straightforward.

Yet, they are powerful and insightful.

They can make the difference between struggling without clear definition of purpose, brand or “voice,” and presenting yourself in a way that is refreshing and inspiring to your readers.

These are the things that can really attract readers to you, and to your message.

Wise Blogger #5  – Marquita Herald  (Emotionally Resilient Living)

Marquita has been a blogging friend of mine for a very long time.

She always gives so much me so much value and peace of mind each time I read her blog.

Recently, she wrote: “Remove the Clutter to Find Peace Of Mind.” 

This article is a real gift for bloggers.

Now, it’s not about blogging, per se.

But the concepts, tips and strategies Marquita reveals are critically important for every blogger to implement.

You see, to be successful in blogging, you must have a clear and focused mind.

One of your biggest enemies is confusion and overwhelm.

It’s all part of a mental apparatus that Marquita calls “clutter.”

It’s one of the main things that causes bloggers to fail.

In this post, Marquita explains exactly what clutter is and how to most effectively deal with it.

Believe me, this is an article you want to read very carefully if you aspire to be a successful blogger.

There are so many hurdles for bloggers, but here’s your chance to ask these 5 wise bloggers (and me, of course) some of your tough questions.

    Hey Donna,

    Can’t wait to read the suggested posts.

    I am new to blogging and have bouts of doubt and definitely feel overwhelmed at times. There never seems enough time in the day. My list of things to do is a mile long and I can often get caught up in a rush, rather than enjoying the process. Then of a night when I reflect my major issue is to slow down and enjoy the ride.

    It appears every time I read a new post, I have another thing to add to that dam list. So my biggest hurdle is to stop feeling rushed. When I do, the day goes just as fast and I get a lot done but I have a satisfied mind.

    Marketing for me is a new concept, so I am really attempting to work on that as I have come to learn just how important this process is and am trying to get a daily grasp on it.

    But I am new and love the interactions with other bloggers, I enjoy the challenge and am eager to stop the rush. Thanks for the post, I am sure I will read the other five posts suggested and go back to being rushed.

      Hi Rachel,

      When you are a new blogger it does get overwhelming! I suggest you make a list and prioritize what you need to do.

      There is never enough to learn. Just set up a goal then take baby steps to complete it each week.

      Do the most important thing first (i.e. eat the frog as we call it) then the rest of the day will be easier.

      Make a list of things you need to do during the day and never forget down time! That’s when you can spend time learning.

      Hope this helps.

    Hi Donna,

    I love these sort of posts because I think it’s a great way to help give other bloggers a bit of a boost and it helps to make bloggers aware of some other bloggers whom they may not have been aware previously.

    I know the first four very well and know that they always publish first-class content. I would highly recommend them (along with your good self, of course! 😉 ) But I haven’t come across Marquita before, so I’m looking forward to heading on over to her blog and checking it out.

    I hope you’ve had a great weekend, Donna. Have yourself a great week ahead! 🙂

      I like to do this type of post once in a while because of the many great bloggers I encounter. I want to share them with my readers, especially if they don’t know them.

      I wish I could make a list of all my blogging friends, but I like to introduce about 5 at a time to keep things simple enough for others to visit.

      Glad you enjoyed this and I’m sure visiting Marquita’s blog will be a pleasurable visit.

    Hi Donna,

    Thank you for sharing this round up. It was a great one! 🙂

    My biggest challenge in blogging these days is more about passion that fluctuates. Sometimes I get too excited, and sometimes I’m lazy for blogging. 😆

    I’m trying to get my passion back by read some articles that motivate and inspire me. I have also made a round up post in my latest article for it..hehe 😉

    I can not say much about Adrienne, Harleena and others. I also follow their blog, so I had to read the article. But, I just found out about Marquita. After I finished leaving a comment here. I’m off to visit Marquita’s blog. 🙂

    Thanks for sharing this with us, Donna.
    Keep up the good work. Do have a wonderful week ahead!

      Hi Nanda,

      I just finished reading your last blog post and it was fantastic! You are not alone. So many people feel this way in the blogging world. But you have found some wonderful people to keep you going.

      We cannot be passionate all the time. We will have our down days and when we do, we have to pay attention to them. Are we down because we want to change a niche? Or maybe we want to find a way to monetize all the work we put into blogging?

      Every time I feel that way I like to sit myself down and start writing a list. Eventually I get to the reason why I feel that way. A while ago it was about monetizing so I created a product. From there, I keep on creating products and problem solved.

      We cannot depend on anyone else but ourselves and the wonderful bloggers we connect with.

    I have to say that Adrienne, Sherman and Marquita are regular haunts of mine and I hugely applaud them all for their incredible branding and consistency on the technical side… and their value and absolute ‘just what I wanted to hear’ words, even though they are all so totally different.

    I am familiar with Harleena, but it’s been a while (must put that right!) and Jens…. well he will be new discovery of the week 🙂

    What a generous tribute to some fantastic bloggers

    Thank you for describing their posts and adding your personal story for each of them… beautifully written

    Hi Donna,

    Wow, what an honor to be mentioned here and thank you so very much my friend.

    As you know I’m working toward being much more clear on my message lately and my heart goes out to those who start their blogging journey at a much later age. I too came online at the age of 49 but didn’t start blogging until I was also in my 50’s. It can be a lonely place at first but when you align yourself with the right people who can help you learn the necessary steps to take it can cut out so much time. I appreciate you sharing my message.

    I have not read any of these others posts but I have them all loaded up so that I can visit them next week. As you know though I just returned from a weeks vacation so I’ve been pretty busy this week getting caught up so I could leave and not worry but also finishing up some client sessions as well.

    Looks like I have some really awesome content to absorb though and I definitely know that whatever Sherman, Harleena and Jens crank out is awesome. I haven’t visited Marquita in quite some time now so it will be fun stopping by her place too. Thank you so much for sharing all this great content and I’m eager to read them now.

    Hope you’ve had a marvelous weekend and looking forward to what this week will bring as well.

    Thanks Donna.

      Hi Adrienne,

      Welcome back! I’m so glad you took that cruise and cleared your mind. I loved your last post that I put here because there are so many people coming online that are older.

      When I first started it was all about the young generation. Now it seems to me like it’s balancing out through all ages.

      Loads of my clients and friends are 40 and over, so they need the support. Because of the financial status of the world at this time, it is important to have either “something on the side” or go all into marketing online.

    Hi Donna,

    Interesting list. I am familiar with Adrienne and Sherman and visit their blogs often. I felt motivated by Adrienne’s post about age not being a barrier to blogging. And I do enjoy Sherman’s practical advise and his way of weaving in his personal experiences into his articles.

    Aha Now! is another blogger blog. I am a member of that community and I do love Harleena’s voice that resonates in her articles.

    I have never met Jens-Petter Berget and Marquita Herald, but will be checking their blogs out due to your recommendation. I especially am fascinated by the idea of finding peace and removing confusion and clutter from my daily activities.

    Thanks for sharing this roundup, Donna. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend 🙂

    This is a wonderful group of bloggers that you’ve highlighted, Donna.

    I know they each have impressive blogging credentials, but more than that, they all strive to reach out to their readers by with value.

    When you get right down to it, that’s what is most important.

    They are all really good at building relationships with their readers, and engaging them in what’s most important to them. They possess a natural empathy, and are masters at demonstrating to their readers that they really care about them… each in their own unique way.

    I think that’s what really lies at the heart of great blogging, and it’s the reason that this is such an impressive group of bloggers.

      Hi Kathryn,

      It is always great to connect with new people. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed with these fab bloggers.

      I like your niche because there are more and more older people, especially women coming into the marketplace.

      No we are never too old to start blogging. I know how difficult it is for you writing because English is not your first language. You keep on going at your own pace and I know you will be helping so many people (per our conversations lol)

    Hi Donna,

    What an incredible list of very wise bloggers indeed!! I would have to 100% agree with you on your choices! Nice job 🙂 I especially love Adrienne Smiths blog and that fantastic post about never being too late to learn 🙂 I can totally resonate with that big time, as I too have started a little later in my life to pursue my dream of being my own boss and finding financial freedom doing what I love…………..blogging and sharing content that is easily implemented 🙂

    Thanks for sharing these incredible bloggers and a little story about them on how important they are to you!

    Great post 🙂

    Hi Donna,

    I’m glad to have come across this post. Over the last few months I’ve been reading your blog posts, and so far I love what I read.

    Looking at this post, I can say you’ve gone a step further to tap into this type of networking. I’ve also been a strong believer of networking because it’s through friendships that businesses thrive. And this is the same for bloggers and their blogs. If you are too much of an introvert, you are more likely to lose. No one will know if you exist, and better yet, your blog will forever look like a ghost town – deserted with no single soul visiting.

    All in all, I’m happy for your efforts, especially for this post, and I’d say keep up the good work.

    I was so inspired by Adrienne’s blog too. It is about time we acknowledge people that are older who are online blogging and marketing. Maybe it’s me, but I’ve been noticing more and more people in this age bracket.

    Sherman is always teaching us something and Harleena has done wonders with her community.

    I’m sure you will like Jens…pure and simple and honest. And Marquita will bring you peace of mind.

    Hi Donna,

    Definitely an ‘A’ list of bloggers! I know all but 1 of these bloggers so that attest to the fact that you have picked some awesome people who blog and who can help many people.

    I loved Adrienne’s article for the same reason you mentioned. There is the baby boomer bloggers important as many of us fall into that category. Sherman has lots of great info and is always providing very useful info that we can implement right away. That’s what I like about his blog. I love Harleena’s community as well as her blogging. She always seems to know the right thing to say. Way to go Harleena for making Donna’s list. I don’t know Jens that well but have been to his blog once or twice and I’ll have to check out Marquita.

    Great A list and can’t wait to read more of the other two and get to know them.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you for introducing Jens-Petter Berget and Marquita Herald as I haven’t had the chance to read these articles. I will stop over to these articles as well as Harleena’s, “Blogging Basics: CRUX of Blogging Tips for New Blogger.”

    Completely agree with Adrienne, there’s no age issues with blogging – and good for us, when we grow old we don’t have to retire!

    Have read Sherman and Harleena’s posts as well on their blogs earlier this week. Now it is time to read the other two posts that I have missed somehow, thanks,

So much so, I’m seeing more older people get into blogging and marketing. Years ago young people were all that I knew. I’m seeing even people that retire step into the blogging world.

    And I’ve got to check out both Jans and Harleena’s latest post!

    But I see my Coach and Mentor Adrienne Smith heading the list!

    And the ever so talented Marquita Herald!I simply can’t get enough
    of her wisdom and extremely powerful and helpful insights!

    And it seems like every time I read a blog or two over at Sherman Smith’s
    totally awesome blog, my head literally explodes from his keen insights, simplicity and creativity!

    That guy is a freaking genius! I put him on par with Enstine Muki!

    And there simply aren’t many out there today, that can come close to Enstine’s
    pure genius!

    But I’d definitely say Sherman does!And the fact that all of them are being featured on your
    blog!

    That’s sort of the icing on the cake!LOL! Of course I might have thrown in still another extremely worthy marketing/blogging genius named David Merrill!LOL!

    I love your idea of writing your posts in advance and loading them as drafts. I have been thinking of doing that one as well.

    What a great post and a great list. I have read all the posts and they are so awesome.

    All the posts where thought provoking. Adrienne was right about never being too old to blog. She and you are an example of bloggers that have made a difference.

    Shermin’s post was thought provoking. Harleena really nailed it with her CRUX concept of blogging which I know will benefit so many newbies. Beget’s post was spot on and reveals a lot on why bloggers fail.

    Thanks for sharing. Have an awesome week.

    Yes, I’ve read all of these posts, except for Marquita’s, though have visited hers earlier as we share the same Tribes on Triberr and are on Twitter too. Must check out Jens, seem to have missed this one.

    Loved the title of this post, Donna – as Carol mentioned, simple and so effective I’d add.

    Biggest challenge presently is taking out time for starting my new blog, and that’s why I’m taking a few weeks off, as I start my blogging ‘work’ break, though still have a lot of pending comments on my blog to catch up with. And that is going to be a lot of focused work!

    Thanks once again, so appreciate the kind mention. Have a nice week, and we meet now once I’m back with more surprises, if not earlier. Till then, take care and be well my friend 🙂

    Hi Donna, I also started blogging 4 years ago in my 50’s, but have been all over the map with trying to figure out what to blog about. First is was books, internet marketing and then poetry and then this and that. I find myself becoming really bored quickly with trying to keep people up to date on information that I don’t find appealing myself, even when I know that it’s needed. So, after all of these years, I’m still a work in progress and reinventing myself. I will definitely have to go read these blogs…we can never have too much wisdom. Thanks for sharing these 5 wise people. I’m really interested in learning what they have to say. Great post.

      Hi BG,

      It is quite common that people enter the blogging world, and do go all over the map. I started in a direction I no longer take myself. Guess it is why I always call blogging a journey. As long as we “brand” ourselves, our readers will follow us through the many phases we go through.

      Once we find what we are really passionate about and get that clarity, there is never enough of stuff we can write about that specific topic.

      As bloggers, we are always a work in progress. I write mostly about blogging, but it is also connected with marketing. So from this standpoint, so many other factors I can bring in from a step by step process, to something that is of personal growth. It all ties in when it comes to using our blogs for marketing purposes.

      As long as you keep on growing, you will do fine.

    Hi Donna,

    Well – Marquita’s article about removing clutter has certainly come at the right time for me as I’m in a de-cluttering phase myself. And even just being part way through the process I am starting to feel the benefit.

    In line with de-cluttering Sherman’s post about saving time blogging was also very relevant to me too. It’s one of those articles, together with the one by Jens, that I wish I had found a few years ago – instead of the “teachers” I did have!

    Harleena’s and Adrienne’s posts I had already seen and enjoyed, but thanks for introducing me to the three other wise bloggers.

    Have a great week, Joy

      Hi Joy,

      I am so happy to know that Marquita’s article came just in time for you. And Sheman’s ppost about saving time blogging kind of go hand in hand for you.

      Don’t we all wish we knew what Jens’s advice was when we first started lol.

      I am glad to know that you have gotten acquainted with some bloggers you didn’t know.

    Hey Donna,

    First off thanks for the mention! I’m glad that the post was helpful and I’m sure it will activate some brainstorming on prioritize management as John C. Maxwell says.

    I’ve read all the posts here except for Jen’s and Marquita’s posts. I’m quite familiar with Jens but not with Marquita which will give me the opportunity to get acquainted. Thanks for sharing and have a great week Donna!

      Hi Sherman,

      I wanted to shout out this post you have written especially for those who are spending too much of their time blogging. You sure have written a helpful post for them all.

      I’m sure that you will like to get acquainted with Marquita. I’ve known her for such a long time that I cannot remember when lol.

      Have a wonderful week.

    Hi, Donna,

    LOVE the simplicity of this title and format, because it’s chock full of Value and easy to consume. Love it!

    As you know – I resonated with Adrienne’s article also and featured it in Carol’s Cut recently. I’m not a bit surprised folks are sharing it so much because the message is so relevant to what many of us are going through – simply excellent!

    Just finished enjoying and commenting on Sherman’s wonderful post, wow, he really outdid himself on this one. Great takeaways.

    Just commented on Harleena’s site, but have not seen this particular article yet, so will check it out, thanks for the heads up – sounds intriguing! Also was just on Jens’ site, but missed this one – will have to make sure to read, thanks.

    I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Marquita Herald yet, so will have to make time to check out Remove the Clutter article, sounds like what I need!

    My blogging challenge has been, as you know, playing a bit of catch up due to some personal health issues, but happy to say I’m almost completely caught up! Yeah!

    Awesome post, Donna – spreading the word…

    Take Care,

      Hi Carol,

      Good to know you are on the mend. Playing catch up is difficult so take your time my friend.

      I’m sure you will be surprised reading Harleena’s article I mentioned here. And Meeting Marquita will be a pleasure for you.

      I know her since forever! Her blog always brings me peace, and I’m sure it will do the same for you.

      I like to keep things simple as you know and hope that my readers get in touch with each other.

      Thanks for coming by,

    [ Smiles ] I am quite familiar with most of the five bloggers that you mentioned; however, I am not familiar with the writings of Marquita Herald; I will have to check her blog out.

    Also, thank you for highlighting theses bloggers.

      Hi Renard,

      I’m sure that you will resonate so well with Marquita. She writes “Emotionally Resilient Living” and you are the Zen Blogger. I sure do believe that you will enjoy connecting with her.

    Hi Donna,

    I am known to the first 3 bloggers, Harleena, Sherman and Adrienne but the 2 new are quite new to me. However, I have heard their name somewhere but not familiar.

    Such lists are always good because we get some new name to get into contact with.

    Glad you shared this post. 🙂

      Hi Atish,

      This is why I like to do round-ups once in a while. It is a great way for my readers to find new people to connect with.

      As bloggers, it is always wise to reach out to some people we don’t know, especially when seeing a round up by a “trusted” blogger. Hey, I think it is how I met you!

    Hi Donna,

    I certainly know all of those bloggers, but I have not read all those posts, but I’m sure they are all valuable content.

    I did read Adrienne and Sherman’s post, and I know I need to get back to more blog reading as I used to do in the past 🙂 I’m just so busy these days.

    Thanks for sharing.

      Hi Sylviane,

      I sure know how busy you are these days. I am loving the pictures you are sharing on Facebook as you travel. So many wonderful places that you are sharing with us! Makes me want to switch my vacation to Europe instead of Seattle this year lol.

      But I’ll get there….I sure miss eating in Italy!

      You will soon get into your pattern of blog hopping again, meanwhile enjoy.

    Hi Donna,

    What a great group of bloggers to share with everyone. Adrienne and Sherman I know quite well. I have visited Harleena and Marquita’s blogs at times and need to get them on my list. Jens-Petter Berget is a new blogger to me that I will most definitely visit.

    Thank you so much for sharing the works of these wonderful writers.

    Hi Donna,

    Thanks so much for creating a great list. I really enjoyed both Adrienne’s and Sherman’s as well. I referred both those articles to some people I personally know who would benefit from them.

    I haven’t read the others so thanks so much for the introduction. I love this style of online networking!

    Have a great week Donna!

      Hi Don,

      Once and a while something just hits me during the past week of certain blogs people have written that will enhance my own readers.

      As you know Sherman and Adrienne well, those blog posts were wonderful. Check out the others because they are all on point with blogging.
