What can your blog do for you?

After their experiences at She’s Connected and Blissdom Canada a lot of the people I talk to regularly  were analyzing their blogs, their online lives and what they wanted to be as a brand.

I didn’t pay much attention to it all because my blog is my space and I do what I want with it – I use it to vent and share and remember, not to gain readers or get paid or get free stuff.

The fact is that I love being online, I love talking to people, I love talking about things that are important to me with people that can share their knowledge and experiences, and I put a lot of time into it. I would love to be able to talk about products and brands and maybe get something back. I would have to set some ground rules – honesty no matter the offer would be a big one – and I would have to define what I’m prepared to write for and what I’m not.

Willing to accept any thoughts and experiences on the matter…
