Get big or go home?

John Hawkins is a blogger whose style of writing is very clear. Stacy McCain linked to a piece Hawkins wrote in July of 2011. In it Hawkins pointed out that Obama's election as President in 2008 should have resulted in great growth in the conservative blogosphere, but it did not. Hawkins gives five persuasive reasons why it did not.

Hawkins ends his analysis with some advice for little bloggers like myself:

Get big or go home.

Find a way to dramatically increase the size of your blog, expand into multiple websites that together are big, hook up with someone who’s already big, or accept that there isn’t much of a future in a small, niche market for you. Maybe that sounds a little grim, but unless something changes, independent conservative bloggers who haven’t already made it big don’t have a bright future.

Yes, it is a little grim. Get big or go home? I am already home, John. From my home is where I write this determined little blog!
