hey ethan,

yes i agree -- niche expertise is a great formula for blog stardom. however, i think we may see artist/bloggers, who simply publish their art on their blog. they may not have any particular expertise, but if marketed properly and if their art is inspirational/engaging enough, i think they could be candidates for blog stardom. but i definitely think the safe bet is niche expertise/education and that is at the core of the blog star network i am building.

However I'd argue that the only people who can take advantage of those opps are people who have already demonstrated real-world/"offline" successes in a given niche."

that's interesting. i see how it may seem like that, but i think blog stardom is great for unproven underdogs. for instance, i think musicians who cannot work with the major label system may seek to attain fame, fortune, artistic expression, and connection with fans via blog stardom.
