Thanks for this post. There are so many people out there thinking that blog equals business but for me this only works if you have a “voice”. In countries like Austria having a blog and make a living from it is almost impossible. Still many people here dream about it and even more lure others into buying some useless E-Books…

Hi to all,
Coming in late, I diligently read all the comments. No one talks about the reader. Who is the blog for?? If it is to build business, are your prospects reading it? Too many bloggers are more concerned about the number of subscribers and comments rather than getting the right readers: quality over quantity. As a publication designer, the majority of my prospects don’t read blogs. So I have to promote it to them through the venue where they DO read–you have to know their behavior. The content of my blog is written for executives and managers; it also attracts colleagues who find it interesting because of that. A blog needs to be targeted and marketed like any product.

Great article, Larry. I got a lot from it. But I must say, it is important to have a nice bike, too!

I totally agree, to many new bloggers think that just having a blog will make them lots of money. You need to offer your readers quality content and build your reputation, there is nothing worse than a blog filled with ads and no substance.

I agree with the importance of a blog for a business, as well as with the fact that ‘there is nothing magic about a blog’. However, it takes will to actually write a blog on a daily basis for more than a few months. It is not magic, but it does require perseverence and consistency to make it worth it.
