Why am I blogging again?

July 20, 2009 By Greg Niland

startstopIt has been over a year since I blogged last.  Why restart now?  Why deal with the headaches of comment spam?  What am I going to get out of a blog?  Blogs aint free.

Excuse me, did you think a wordpress blog is free?  Besides paying the obvious cost of registering a domain and monthly hosting there are big costs associated with any blog.  You need to spend considerable time working and writing on the blog.  Time is money especially for a internet consultants that charge by the hour and for affiliate marketers that need as much time as possible to  build out their network of sites.  [Read more…]
