Blogging for dollars

Filed under: Blogging — thatsoftwareguy @ 12:42 pm

ProBlogger presents an interesting reality check for people who are considering blogging for money.  I certainly agree with the broad themes he presents (namely, that it’s harder than it looks), but I think that since Darren is focused on people who are trying to make money directly through blogging, he overlooks the other half of the  audience; people who are blogging as a way of building their business.

If you run a business, particularly a one person business, blogging is a tremendous way of projecting your business persona and creating expert power in your domain.  It’s an indirect form of marketing that will gain you contacts and clients.   It’s a lot of work, but it will yield benefits over time.
