What No One Ever Tells You About Blogging and Podcasting, Real-Life Advice from 101 People Who Successfully Leverage the Power of the Blogosphere
"Hidden" Business Blog Success Stories
I believe there are lots of professionals helping their business through blogging who stay "hidden" from mainstream view.
They may be hidden because they don't want to talk about their success with business blogging, because they're not sure how much their blogging is helping business, or maybe because they're in some niche where main stream bloggers rarely venture.
For example, Kevin O'Keefe writes about a blogging lawyer having incredible success. 18 new client inquiries over the last 12 days! Now I'm not a lawyer and my clients are often very longterm, but I usually get 18 new consulting and mentoring client inquiries every 2-4 months max.
It's very interesting that this lawyer insists on remaining anonymous -- not wanting the competition to know where all the new clients are coming from.
So, a few bucks in AdSense or other revenue or a bunch of new clients, I know which one I'd prefer!
Interesting...I'd certainly prefer the new clients as well. I'm facinated by the many faces of the blogosphere.
I would guess this lawyer makes good use of conversation and relationship building through his blog to help potential clients see that they can get the help they need. Also, blogging done well, would make a lawyer, or any other professional, seem more accessible; bringing them 'down to earth' in the prospect's mind.
