Blogging information of value shows that there is more where that came from and that you actually know what you are talking about. <br /><br />This makes it much easier for potential clients to choose you over someone else who may be talented, but is keeping that fact to themselves by only telling people they are talented and never showing it.Liene Stevenshttp://www.thinksplendid.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570333021319048714.post-1803201454744860922009-10-30T13:23:52.419-04:002009-10-30T13:23:52.419-04:00Thanks, Liene! I often grapple with this because while I can see the appeal of including &quot;information I should be charging for&quot; on my blog, I struggle with the fact that clients are contacting me to hire me for this information, so why give it away for free? I know that there is a strong likelihood that they may hire me anyways, but I just don&#39;t know that it is a risk that I am willing to take at this point...<br /><br />So appreciative of your advice always!<br /><br />Ashleyashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02370800535238798840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570333021319048714.post-29490670629884738152009-10-30T13:08:59.093-04:002009-10-30T13:08:59.093-04:00Liene, thank you for this fantastic post!
