One is I am now writing a blog for small businesses called The Small Biz Society International blog (http://www.smallbizsociety.blogspot.com) and I wanted information to share with readers (what readers?!) on my blog. The other, is that I wanted to find out if in fact I can make money blogging. Obviously, I haven't yet. I don't even have adsense on most of my nine blogs. But I was thinking maybe I should market the blogs and try to monetize them. But ultimately, I blog for the fun of it. I love writing. I love blogging. My favorite blog has to be The Divorce Saloon. Ultimately, I hope it will enhance my small law practice which I run her in New York. Hey, getting divorced? Check it out at www.marionlewisesq.blogspot.com. You can link to all my blogs from my website. I’ve been looking into the economic aspects of blogging for a number of reasons.

Personally, after 2 and a half years of Serge the Concierge I continue doing it first and foremost because I like discovering new people, topics and services and writing about them.

Potential clients can find out a little bit of what you're all about before jumping in with your company, sort of like a personal branding exercise. You can also use it as a kind of sounding board as you work out what direction your business is going to take.

I guess it depends on just how niche it really is. You could argue this site is fairly niche and I guarantee it makes money. My blog is even more niche and I make some money. But, if you have a blog about your high school curling team in Delaware, probably no money there, but that's also not going to increase your professional credibility either.

I read that blog post earlier today, and felt exactly as you do. I have several blogs that would be a ways down the tail, but I have no intention to earn money from them (most don't even have ads), but they are intended to drive clients to my main company. It is a practice I have just started the last few months, but it has saved me a ton in advertising already. I concur. I read that blog post earlier today, and felt exactly as you do.
