What do you get when you cross a young, dedicated entrepreneur with a blog? You get Blogtrepreneur, a successful blog by a young man from the UK, Adnan. Adnan has been blogging for much longer than many of us – since February of 2006. At 17, he is already a seasoned Internet entrepreneur.
Adnan has both experience and knowledge when it comes to entrepreneurial blogging. It is also clear that others have recognized this when you notice his 600+ RSS subscribers. This is no surprise; Blogtrepreneur contains a wealth of knowledge for budding and veteran bloggers alike.
The Importance of Uniqueness
The first thing you notice when you visit Blogtrepreneur is its unique design. Adnan indicates that a unique design is absolutely necessary if you are looking to brand your blog. Adnan believes that to be successful you MUST differentiate yourself from everyone else as soon as possible.

Monetize Your Blog with Blogtrepreneur
Website monetization is a topic to which I am still fairly new, though I am working each day to become more skilled in this area. A significant focus of Blogtrepreneur is helping you improve the monetization of your web sites. One of Adnan’s interesting posts was entitled, “Top 5 Forms Of Website and Blog Monetization for 2008″ in which he reports:
“…2008 will be a year of progression whereby we’ll build on the monetization methods of the year before. And with the amount of people joining the net and jumping onto the crazy money bandwagon, these forms of making cash online are only going to get more popular and bigger than ever before.”
Adnan is definitely on target about the changes that will be in store for monetization in the coming year. It is this kind of spot-on advice that makes Blogtrepreneur a great daily read.
Tremendous Growth!
Blogtrepreneur experienced tremendous growth over the past year – Adnan managed to increase RSS subscribership by 142% through his unique “purple cow” blogging.
Great Advertising Opportunities
Blogtrepreneur currently has a Page Rank of 5, but I suspect within the next few updates, it will achieve a PR 6. As a result, Blogtreprneur has some excellent advertising opportunities. You can read more about them here.
Conclusion
It took me only 5 minutes to decide that Blogtrepreneur was worth a spot in my Feedreader. I congratulate Adnan for building a blog that is unique, informative, and enjoyable. The only thing missing from Blogtrepreneur is a “Popular Posts” page; there are simply too many good articles getting lost in the archives! If you enjoy my blog, I strongly suggest you subscribe to Blogtrepreneur’s RSS Feed.
