I can totally identify with Colin's approach on blogging and making money from it – if you are coming from the creative part, it feels very uncomfortable to use tactics like those “spammy” internet entrepreneurs. It just doesn't feel right. And creating premium ebooks and selling T-shirts is a kick-ass way of starting/strengthening ones digital empire.

I also like he's approach on getting outside of your niche (Colin, I don't think you have one) and writing guest posts for way different blogs. I remember reading one of his posts on a travel blog, and it was about story telling.
I bought his networking book and it's really aaaawe-some – cool design and pics, and even better value & content.
Grrreat personality man, watch out for me ;)
