It can be a great networking tool.

One is I am now writing a blog for small businesses called The Small Biz Society International blog (http://www.smallbizsociety.blogspot.com) and I wanted information to share with readers (what readers?!) on my blog. The other, is that I wanted to find out if in fact I can make money blogging. Obviously, I haven’t yet. I don’t even have adsense on most of my nine blogs. But I was thinking maybe I should market the blogs and try to monetize them. But ultimately, I blog for the fun of it. I love writing. I love blogging. My favorite blog has to be The Divorce Saloon. Ultimately, I hope it will enhance my small law practice which I run her in New York. Hey, getting divorced? Check it out at http://www.marionlewisesq.blogspot.com. You can link to all my blogs from my website.

Great take on the topic.

Personally, after 2 and a half years of Serge the Concierge I continue doing it first and foremost because I like discovering new people, topics and services and writing about them.

I get a chance to attend a number of food and wine related events and restaurant openings and tastings plus web related happenings which is a great side benefit.

As for advertising, I make a little bit of money from Google Ads.
I also signed up with Adify (I like the fact that I can choose the Ads) and BlogAds (it is not running yet).

I will also take part for the second year (December) in Menu for Hope where bloggers around the world join forces to raise funds for the UN Food Program.

Last I will host a panel titled Just Over 50 and Not Dead Yet at South by Southwest Interactive.

My apology for the long comment.

Have a great day

Besides developing their own SEO, this gives the profiles more personality, creating a better relationship between business and client.

I think that blogging is the best self-promotional tool today. The trick is to do it with passion and persistence.

Potential clients can find out a little bit of what you’re all about before jumping in with your company, sort of like a personal branding exercise. You can also use it as a kind of sounding board as you work out what direction your business is going to take.

I guess it depends on just how niche it really is. You could argue this site is fairly niche and I guarantee it makes money. My blog is even more niche and I make some money.

But, if you have a blog about your high school curling team in Delaware, probably no money there, but that’s also not going to increase your professional credibility either.

The tangential and peripheral opportunities should not be seen as less favourable than the the more direct advertising angles.

If as a ‘blogger you’re serious about making money, then it’s as well to get serious about writing a marketing plan…

I read that blog post earlier today, and felt exactly as you do. I have several blogs that would be a ways down the tail, but I have no intention to earn money from them (most don’t even have ads), but they are intended to drive clients to my main company. It is a practice I have just started the last few months, but it has saved me a ton in advertising already.
