It's like you read my mind 4 months in advance.

It really is frustrating, which is why I think it's important to remember where you came from, no matter how great you become.

I know what you mean…being little and being made to feel little are two different things. There are a lot of people that fit into the 2nd category that really are capable of big things.

Wow! Excellent post. I'll raise a glass to that, here here! I have felt that all year. All the big guys except for one (Patt Flynn), pretty much ignores me. Granted, I'm in a totally different niche, but I am trying to reach out to people and make friends. I leave comments for them, twitter, retweet them, and I get nothing. Nada! It's people like you who will reach out and talk to people and help them that I feel comfortable with. I'm busting my butt just as much as the next guy when it comes to blogging. I've never considered myself a little guy, at least I don't feel like one in my heart, I've always been a winner and admired, until I tried talking to the big guys. lol They quickly shut me down. Snobs! Lol And with that, I think I will get a drink!

Great post Nathan. I'm keeping the approach now of help those who helped you. The online “in crowds” can be vicious and it just takes time to make them look foolish when your presence starts building. I was discouraged before with no RT's and email responses as well and it just became more obvious to me what to do. Do the same things I enjoy when I'm a visitor on someone else's blog: acknowledgement. There is no such thing as a small voice online. The small guys helped me rise online and I hope they join me.
