You can pay money and buy advertising which establishes no trust and proves nothing to anyone, or you can invest time in blogging which builds trust and proves your passion, expertise, and authority to clients. Business on the web nowadays tends to favor the latter, it seems to me. If you're not into writing, you can easily make videos! I think taking the time to manage the blog is simply a new necessity.

The thing is a lot of people are not into writing or don't want to have to manage a blog, even though it's not that time-consuming if you make sure you prioritize :) Limitless, thanks a lot :)

I think the real take-away from it is the idea that the smaller the business is, the more important the blog is. For a freelancer the blog is super-important. I didn't plan on saying that. It just came out. Serendipity, I guess. Hey, that’s me on the screen! :D
