I officially opened my blog just yesterday after finally installing inbound links from my main web site. My main site already gets significant traffic, but it is a very stiff and formal professional photography site, with very little room for personalization. I started my blog with several primary goals. First is to provide people an opportunity to get a 'behind the lens' perspective on many of my images. Second is to provide an extra news and resource platform for people looking to find out more information about the industry. Finally, I'm going to use it as a platform for self-publishing travel & photography related content. Wish me luck. This is a very timely question for me.

Blogging is a low cost way for a company to gain exposure. But I found that I really enjoy writing and the blog has helped me get things off my mind. My blog is about my work day which causes my posts to drift between management, coaching, business, code samples, technology, and adoption (not part of my work but a big part of my life). Blogging has exposed me to a new community and I am very pleased with some of the new relationships that I have formed with other bloggers. I really love the dialog, the learning, and the sharing. There are a lot of very nice and knowledgeable people out here. I plan to continue blogging and commenting. I have started a second blog to post my book reviews and potentially short stories on. If my blogs makes money that’s great, but if not that’s okay too. The experience alone is worth the time and I think being able to discuss common business issues in an open forum is much cheaper than a therapist!

It is starting to pay off with some of the sites I started last year. If it is a topic you are interested in personally, blogging about it is both fun and potentially financially rewarding.

I have a lot of information on it but I feel like sometimes I'm trying to do too much... maybe that's my direction... I guess it has been so far. Anyway, I feel like 2006 will be a big year for my blog as long as I keep at it. Like others have mentioned my top three inspirations are you, Darren, and Steve. I am trying to work towards some of your numbers but it's a hard act to follow. I'll sure have fun trying though. PS, love the new blog design, can't wait to see what small business branding comes out looking like. Aloha My goal is to find direction with my blog.

My goal with ClearYourMind to 2006 is getting into the 9rules (sigh!) and help people with what I'm learning right now about entrepreneurship and productivity. It's hard, because some times you look at your stats and there is only 200 guys reading at your blog and you feel you can have at lestat 2000; but like someone said to me the other day "write for them, not for the ones that still don't know your blog!". So one of my goals is that, blog for the people who read my blog and stop trying to get more readers. Hey Yaro!

Im busy developing my second blog with a friend of mine, as well as <a href="http://www.jasonbagley.com/2006/01/26/to-blog-or-not-to-blog/" rel="nofollow">re-aligning</a> my personal blog. I can see 2006 is going to be big for you, and I'm hoping I can follow suit. :-) Hey Yaro, I’ve been blogging for less than 6 months, so 2006 is going to be quite a big year for me.

I don't blog! Maybe I need to but to be honest, I don't think I have anything to contribute as a potential blogger at this moment in time! If it can be considered as a good platform, or launch pad if you like, for other internet businesses, maybe I should look into it, but I’ve heard cautions of BlogSpam that need to be heeded. Maybe your next topic could be 'Why don't your blog' Lol! It'll be interesting to know how I’d answer this question a year down the line but although I need to plan ahead, I try not to plan the results. As you say, enjoy the journey. Cheers. Aitch Hi Yaro.
