Number five is a valid, but overlooked point. Maintaining a blog shows a sense of committment that is valued among employeers. If someone demonstrates that they both excelled at their job while keeping a blog I w,ould assume they have a strong work ethic.

Blogs really does earn bloggers money. This is very true and very widespread.
Also, I would like agree on our first point. Blogging is not anymore for personal use. In fact, lots of websites have incorporated blogging with their sites ti be more appealing to more customers.
Also there are a lot of blogs out there that are focused on products and services.
