There are several good benefits to having blog other than just as a creative outlet. It's good for SEO for your website and it's good for marketing your business. It gives you a place to highlight your capabilities and knowledge as well as create good, fresh content.

JKVirtualOffice summed up all the reasons you should have a blog. Your content should also touch on various trends occurring within your industry. If you are ever stumped and looking for topics to write about check out this website http://skribit.com/. Definitely the cure for writer's block!

Yes you should, just start off simple. Try writing a blog once a week. This will enhance your writing skills and bring more content to your site. Blogging is a form of stress release therapy in my opinion.

Mandee and Jocarole - check out Problogger.net. I just finished a 31 Day Blogging Course with them, and I think he's making a workbook available for cheap.

Thanks for the link Mary.

I haven't launched my virtual assistant business yet but I have been thinking lately of starting a personal blog that would have topics that I might write about when I start the business. if it doesn't take too much time a way from starting the business itself.
