I agree with a lot of the postings here...
From a business standpoint, a good blog helps brand yourself...and help you build trust and a relationships from your visitors and subscribers...
The highest use is to always provide good quality and useful content...basically adding value to people's lives who are seeking to learn or even be entertained...
I make a lot of money off of having blogs and content sites that drive tremendous traffic and is the catalyst that drives my home business ...With the right keywords, you can get a lot of good love from google...
And on the other side of the coin I totally agree about having an outlet for good old creative self expression.
You can add your personality and flavor to whatever you do...I think that's what truly makes you unique, and you should be able to put that out there fully, not matter what you are talking about or promoting for business...
I really believe in allowing people to get their own unique voice out into the world...
and of course there are always two schools of thought...are you doing it for fun and creativity, or do you want to have a business and make money at the same time...
Actually I think that is possible to do both...if you are authentic that there are so many great ways to create income and express yourself...
Just like Steve does...he adds great quality content, and has huge traffic because of all that...and he has several ways to monetize it with the business model...
So it's all good, and it all works...it's just a matter of deciding what your reasons are...
I think blogging is just such a great way to get your voice out...and you can add all kinds of great topis and humor...the internet is such a great place now...
All the best,
