Do you Blog for pleasure or for business? (7 posts)

  • I blog for business. My clients like me to write articles for them and do all their SEM and SMM. Usually these articles take all my time.

    I wish I could start a blog for pleasure… but I don’t even know what I would blog about. I love to read farming blogs and “off the grid” blogs. But I’m far from that! (I live in a condo! But I do have a tomato plant and a pepper plant, so I’m an urban farmer!)

  • @amyhallbiz You mean business isn’t pleasure for everyone? 

    I don’t disconnect very often so I would have to say business also.  In fact, even when I am in a “disconnect” moment (usually at a concert) I am looking for ways that it ties to business or looking for the marketing lesson. 

  • @amyhallbiz – RE: “I live in a condo! But I do have a tomato plant and a pepper plant, so I’m an urban farmer!”

    They actually call that vertical farming! LOL Learn more @ http://www.verticalfarm.com/

    I’m just about to go live with my freelance web developer site and within it I’ve set up my first blog. I’m much more comfortable writing code, but I’m tired of sending clients similar emails outlining resources and links about the same old topics.  I figure I might as well create my own resource area for clients to refer to.  I wrote my first post tonight… I found it to be very intimidating. LOL I’m a “behind the scenes” girl and by writing I felt, well exposed.

  • @juleswebb I love the vertical farm!!!  Do want!

  • @amyhallbiz LOL – you can have it! I’m a “Rural Gurl” myself, I prefer the mountains and woods :-)

  • @amyhallbiz I do a little personal blogging on the side. One site is for photography, and the other is just about random life stuff. The key to personal blogging is not to pressure yourself. If you blog for business, you probably feel the need to SEO everything, write on a regular schedule, etc. Let your personal blog be for you – don’t make it a chore, but an outlet. I find having that anything goes blog puts a little spark back into your business blogging.

  • @kristi-hines I never though about it that way… write for fun! What a novel concept! ;)
