The hard part is getting enough visitors to your blog to earn real money. Yes, you have to do some blog marketing. This means writing about what people are interested in reading. The way to get a lot of traffic is to have backlinks — links back to your blog from other websites. This is easy to do if you find other blogs in your same niche and then post comments on them, with those comments leading back to your blog.

At first, it started as something I did on my own and slowly but surely (after proving its value) my company started to realize the potential. Now, I'm expected to keep up my blogging efforts and am afforded time at work to do so. This is funny as it kind of outlines exactly how I started blogging for my company.

So my point is if your site is well built and well written and with a little bit of luck you can make some decent money, and they will seek you out. Thanks for touching on the subject Darren.

I think corporate has some ideas and they think it is sometimes like journalism writing and wants to be edited like mad. I am sure this happened when I had an internship at LLS. They see the value but don't participate fully. Great post as always.

It's good if they want to hire people. But I prefer to build an exclusive website for specific company. By the way, trust is the most important thing. It's a fact.

I would communicate with my immediate boss first and foremost, before getting in bed with the marketing department if they happen to be different departments. You don't want your boss thinking your going over his head and pissing him/her off. That might be bad. But each case is going to be different and the individual needs to decide what's best in their particular case. Good stuff Darren, unfortunately I'm in a business where blogging wouldn't mean a thing, nor provide once ounce of benefit. I've looked, there's nothing there that I can see. lol Great post Darren, however I’m going to disagree with the order of events.

Most blogs are built from an internal need within the person, when this passion is combined with knowledge - the ingredients for a great blog are made. I just couldn't think of anything more boring than reading a corporate approved blog. If it was going to work I believe they would need to go out of the company and find someone talented and who has a passion for the area of expertise of the company, and then to leave the expert to do their job and not interfere in something that a corporation could never quite understand.
