I’ve learned that in my profession (graphic design) that beside your online portfolio, having a regularly updated blog puts you ahead of the crowd when vying for new clients or job openings.

Writing about the subject you’re passionate about shows others that you’re passionate too.

Keep up the good posts Michael - I mentioned your site in a new post on my blog.

Hey Jonathan - For my business at least, there still is a place for the monthly newsletter.

There is a big difference. One is push and the other is pull marketing.

You push the newsletter to your readers and need to pull them into the blog.

Producing a monthly newsletter was always a difficult process for me.

I look at a blog as the new form of the newsletter, only instead of accumulating content and distributing it all in one big chunk, the blog allows you to dole out that same content each day a piece at a time.

It has now become part of my daily routine, and I find myself thinking about what I’m going to write in the blog each day.

I wonder if this is how journalists think?

Thanks, Michael. I missed this post somehow, but I was able to catch it thanks to you. Blogging has made me grow “content-antennae” in which I am vigilant in my daily life and work to “blogging moments.” This helps in many other ways…I never seem to lack something to write about, AND I am learning so much more, simply because I’m awake at the wheel.

Hi Mike, all the points Ann makes ring so true. As a very new blogger, I am amazed by the speed at which you can converse with others that share your interests. I’m on my way over to MarketingProfs right now to find out what else I can learn. Thanks for introducting me to yet another interesting blog. Cheers, Liz
