Why should freelance writers blog?

I’ve been blogging since 2001, and my blogs are my most valuable writing assets.

This week I received several questions about WHY blogging is great for writers, so I’ll answer them here.

Blogging is a must for new writers, because…

* Your blog gets you writing. This is vital, because writing is a muscle. The more you write, the more you can write. Your blog helps you to tune up your writing, so that when you get commissions you write with confidence and without procrastination, which the curse of many writers;

* Your blog gives you confidence;

* Your blog gets you writing jobs.

Blogging is a must for established writers, because…

* Your blog builds your platform of readers;

* Your blog lets you advertise your writing skills and writing products;

* Your blog gets you name-recognition, which to put it bluntly, lets you charge more for what you do;

* Your blog helps you to get over any technophobia you may be experiencing. You’ll get to understand how the Web works, and once you do that, unbelievable new vistas and opportunities will open to you.

But here’s the #1 most important reason you should blog: blogging is FUN.
