 Why do you Blog?
I often get asked that question and it's one I struggle to answer easily because there are a number of reasons but here are the main ones.
Obviously, it helps drive my Google page ranking and that is fairly important to my business.
I also like to feel that I am adding some value back to my readers. I do give away a lot of the best work I do with clients and never hold stuff back for fear of people then not hiring me as their coach.
It's good fun. Often (like today’s) I start off with absolutely no idea where I am going. I just start typing and see what comes out. I seldom re-write blogs and other than a quick spell check and look for glaring mistakes I hit publish and move on.
It clarifies my thoughts. Some of my better ideas have come from posts that were just a jumble of thought before I started typing. I guess it's like the difference between written goals and ones that float around your head.
It makes me laugh. I can put stuff in my Blog that I could never say to clients or put in my newsletter. My humor is VERY British and I love just rambling off on tangents about nothing. I often think some people must stumble on my blog read one post and leave shaking their head in disbelief.
I'd love to hear why some of you good people Blog and what is the personal payback.
