I think blogs help establish authority.

However, it seems that the act of being published or writing for another publication adds even more authority.

I also do marketing and public relations. Sometimes I write for local papers and trade publications. I'm thinking of starting a marketing blog for myself, as I have done for clients. Do you get any business as a result of your blog? Arlene Hauben I like your blog. I also do marketing and public relations. Sometimes I write for local papers and trade publications.

At the moment, I haven't gotten any business I can directly attribute to the blog. Although that would be nice (business coming in is always good), that's not how I measure its worth. I think about it more as an information-sharing device. So, for me, getting responses and knowing people are reading it and getting something from it is how I know it's successful. Eventually, I expect and hope that people will want to work with me from getting to know me this way. Am I giving away my age or naivete by sharing that this is how I think of blogs?! Arlene,
