Default Re: Are you blogging?
Hi Liz - Good questions! It's a lot harder to blog regularly than most people will tell you. The core of blogging, that's not spoken about so much, is your dedication to whatever your subject is. It has to be humongous. You have to be eager to research and write about the topic every day.

That said, though, you can also see how it looks from another angle: if you are dedicated like that, you'll probably attract followers. So blogging is indeed a great marketing tool, if you can get the right handle on it.

Rather than wondering, at this point, what you could write that would be of interest to others, you have to ask, what is of interest to me? What theme could sustain my passion every day over a long time?

Once you know what you would enjoy writing about, then get an angle on how it will resonate with your market, and do posts that speak generously to your audience from your own grounding in enthusiasm.

You may need to think long and hard about the VA biz, if you want to make a blog on the theme. What about your work is the most enjoyable? What holds your continuing fascination?
