I have been watching a certain blog explode in popularity over the last year. I resist pangs of envy by remembering I have 2 corporations to run, 2 major membership sites, a 2 year old, and a lot of consulting to do. But man it still bugs me that Maki writes as well as he does!
I spend so much time showing people what to do with one site, one blog, and how to put all their time into it with laser focus that I don’t get to write as much and as deeply as I’d like. Not even close.
But if you want proof of just how far you can go in a year’s time by being focused on one property and one product generating pure authority in your niche, DoshDosh.com is a perfect example.
About Maki: “Apart from managing Dosh Dosh, I’m also currently a Political Science and Philosophy student in Toronto, Canada.”
See? Philosophy! This proves he gets to sit around and think a lot about writing killer content! (You know I’m kidding Maki)
DoshDosh has much wisdom to absorb and I am going to share with you my favorite posts. If you cannot improve your marketing after reading the following posts you are safe in knowing you are completely incapable of grasping the business of web publishing and marketing and get back to your day job. 
- How to get traffic and links from popular blogs: Networking and Email Pitching
- Dosh Dosh Reaches 10,000 Subscribers (and the Reason Why People Subscribe to a Blog)
- A Very Simple Method to Increase your RSS Subscribers & MyBloglog community members
- A Comprehensive Guide to StumbleUpon (This one is truly awesome!)
- Content Development Strategies
I’ve just realized that I might end up linking to the majority of his popular articles, so I need to stop duplicating content and let you peruse this traffic treasure trove yourself.
Most of the keys to your success can be found in the pages of DoshDosh if authority, traffic, social proof, and profits are what you’re after.

thanks Jack, in fact I very much gained from the comprehensive guide to stumble upon. awesome indeed.
Thanks for the links Jack. I’m actually using one of the Wordpress themes from Dosh Dosh, but haven’t browsed the site itself. You’ve pointed out the error of my ways and I mean to correct it.

Yowzers Jack!
Maki’s got one heck of a site there!
Some great articles – shame’s it’s 2.30am or I’d start reading them all right now lol
Oh well, there’s always tomorrow.
I did scan his comprensive guide to Stumbleupon and decided to install the toolbar and get back into it. To my pleasant surprise, I discovered Stumble has advertising options which would be perfect for at least 1 of my Google AdWords clients in the travel industry.
I’m going to contact her 1st thing on Monday & recommend we test drive their offering.
I help her spend a small fortune each month with AdWords 
so this MIGHT offer some alternative sources of traffic. Always on the lookout for good alternatives, especially since pricing is so competitive on google these days (but still great traffic)…
As always Jack, great post – thanks for fessing up about Maki

Hi – I love Maki’s content too. I’ve always felt that the writing style leans towards academic, but that is obviously because he’s a student. And he’s excellent at observing what is happening in his niche and explaining his findings in a way that everyone can understand.

DoshDosh is a superb site indeed; I really enjoy the tips and wisdom that is offered within every post. Everyone should have that blog in their feedreader.
