Let me have the privilege to introduce you the next generation of bloggers in India. If you know something about blogging and do not know about “Shout Me Loud” then I must say you are living under a rock. Harsh Agrawal founder of Shout Me Loud had brought a new genre into blogging.
A New Horizon
Concept of blogging did evolve over a period of time however blogs like Shout Me Loud have taken blogging to all new level. We never imagined that blogging could be so interesting and intriguing.
It changed the very notion of reading. Now a days reading long articles, newspapers and journals have become a thing of past as people want to read something that connects directly to them. And Harsh’s Shout Me Loud exactly does that, it talks to you rather talking at you. As a matter of fact today there are only handfuls of bloggers that are at par with Harsh.
Objective Blogging
As there is something called objective journalism in print and electronic media similarly I call Shout Me Loud as an Objective blogging. The information conveyed by it is absolutely objective and to the point, it never tries to beat around the bush by trying to convince you through repeating same thing again and again.
Information presented to you is very creative and well articulated so that an ordinary reader can easily understand the message given by the blogger. Perhaps this is the reason why people are getting away from traditional sources of information like news paper, magazines and moving towards blogs like Shout Me Loud.
Secured Life
Bloggers like Harsh have defied all the rules and made their own way. 10 years back not even top notch professionals whether it be doctors, engineers or lawyers, they were not in a position to claim that their financial life is secured. However bloggers like him have made their financial life secure and full proof with blogging as a career.
The revenue generated by his blogs is more than individuals who are in respectable professions mentioned earlier. In fact I do not call Harsh a blogger indeed he is an entrepreneur or net entrepreneur would be better word. Still he is so young but full of maturity like a sage. He is a true inspiration to all budding bloggers.
The Future
The future and prospect of blogging is quite bright and exciting. 10 years from now industry experts believe that conventional media like Television, print etc may cease to exist as more and more individuals will prefer to read blogs online in order to get information. Reading blogs are very refreshing as compared to reading a mundane newspaper.
Hence career as a blogger can be very rewarding, at the same time let me caution you blogging is very challenging job and it requires a lot of patience. To become a successful blogger like Harsh Agarwal you ought to follow his blogs regularly at Shout Me Loud.

Many of us outside india can not spend one day without checking this.
I just motivated to continue when I came across this blog. To be frank, it has blessed me.
Thank you so much Harsh for been a leader in blogging.
Me too, everyday, I come to read this blog. Can’t sleep without posting a comment or two here.
i jus discovered this wonderful blog and this is my first comment.. but i think i will be visiting this daily. Indeed its new generation blogging. Thx harsh for inventing this idea of blogging
Its nice to see blogs like this and people coming together to read them. You make a good point in saying that blogging is the future – especially when it comes to the way we get out news. Blogs are the newspapers of the future.
yes shout me loud has inspired me a lot… i have just started blogging. I am regular reader of this blog .. every time i come to “shout me loud” I get inspired.. thanks shout me loud for inspiring me.
Yeah , Harsh is one of the great bloggers of the world .
Yes, Harsh is inspiration and motivation for many bloggers. Success can only comes with following successful personalities.
Yes shout me loud has really taken Blogging to the Next Level and is also my Inspiration…….
I do agree with some of your points above, but I guess these points are not only applicable to ShoutMeLoud but to other successful Blogs as well. And regarding Harsh, even he admires some Bloggers who are more successful than him. So if you ought to write about them, you could write 60-70 lines in excess than what you have written now. And for your “secured life” point, I would say that if your Blog is a successful one, obviously you would generate money out of it and invest that money in some more new Blogs and multiply in this way. However, time is an important factor and I do agree with Harsh’s tactics of Blogging. But sorry to say in my perspective, ShoutMeLoud has not taken Blogging to a new level yet as there are many other Blogs which could influence people’s way of thinking. This is not a “hate” comment, but just my perspective.
The next generation blogging will only evolve once wordress comes with a variety of more features. Who knows maybe wordpress will die out and a new company will become much popular. More social connecting features like, having your own profile under a bloggers site, create groups inside a blog will come into shape. Blogging is still evolving in India, pretty fast, the only problem is that you need to select th right topic and do your SEO pretty good in order to get the initial fan following. Can’t wait for the new Wordpress 3.2
After reading this article and about Harsh Agarwal, I’m reminded of a Quote by Dhirubhai Ambani which perfectly suits Harsh:-
” Think fast, Think Ahead, Ideas are no-one’s monopoly”
The journey of Harsh Agarwal in Blogosphere is always very inspirational to other bloggers may be professional or newbie and day by day there are number of new blogs are coming keeping in mind that they can get rich quickly through blogging without knowing the difficulties which they will face as the professional bloggers also faced and had success. thanks for sharing your views on Shout Me Loud. As a Blogger i would like to read about the difficulties faced by Harsh Agarwal when he started Blogging as Career.
We all know about sites like techcrunch.com getting sold to AOL for around $30 million. Hopefully Harsh could strike a decent bargain for shoulmeloud in years to come. But again I would like to caution readers that 90+% of bloggers and their sites fail due to various reasons. Please don’t quit your day job yet
to start blogging. Start blogging on the side to get a hang of it first
I agree with most of your facts.. But I doubt the future of blogging after 10 years or so…
I am new to this site as well as new to blogging, but so far going through shoutmeloud has inspired me and i came to know about great tips to run a successful blog. Started blogging 2days ago and created my new blog!. It’s so innovative. Thanks Harsh and ShoutMeLoud, you made this possible.
At one point of time I used to wonder if there will be no google adsense there will be no earnings ?? but then I realized that one makes much more with services and affiliates than adsense
Agreed! Harsh is one of the bloggers who inspired me a lot !
Harsh is surely an inspiration.
i think most of the new bloggers arises after reading shoutmeloud.com .
Really a great place for blogging lessons !
Great to see people getting inspired from Harsh.
I would say that Shoutmeloud is a successful blog and it is respected world wide. Not many blog in India are as successful as shout me loud. Almost all the topics are covered up here in the niche it belongs to and the money that is generated here is a very important feature. This has evolved the growth and inspires new bloggers to start up and have dream to earn big, i think this is the most important change that shout me loud has brought in.
I daily visit this blog and it is much helpful all the credit goes to harsh…he is a great blogger
Story behind shoutmeloud and it’s successful owner as an entrepreneur is always a fact that motivates me to be a blogger and tweaking ideas for a better business online.
Harsh is one among great lot of bloggers out there, And he’s definitely a role model to all niche bloggers out there!
All Hail SML…All Hail Harsh!
For me, I gotta go with my own way of blogging. There will be no more discoveries if we follow the rule of only one blogger.
Thanks for the great post anyway.
Amazing, people have started writing guest post on the author of the blog. Great idea!
yes blogging has a great future and many people are turning full time bloggers now a days..
No doubt Harsh is a great blogger and doing the great job for readers and his part/full time employees.
But, I don’t understand the connection between your heading and content you tried to convey. If some more people make good money as Harsh by using ShoutMeLoud as a medium, then your title would be suited well.
Just my personal opinion, Good luck to Harsh and his staff.
Really a great inspiration for newbie bloggers….. Keep it up Harsh
Amazing to read the article and the comments left by so many bloggers. Seeing shoutmeloud’s success has motivated me to start a blog on totally different concept which is not being tapped by many bloggers, Hope i will be an inspiration for many in the future.
To be honest..I come to this blog to check Harsh’s monthly income
..that motivates me.
Thanks Harsh for your valuable inputs for aspiring bloggers. Keep going.
