More to the point:

Why should anyone blog for you?

The answer I think goes missing in the all the hubbub about PFF and PM – Performancing is by far the largest community of bloggers…wait, let me put this in points

  1. Performancing has over 5000 members, last time I checked (which was over a week ago, so they’re probably higher – Nick?).

    While not all of them read the blog daily, a significant (over 50%) probably do, so posting on Performancing – and more importantly, having your own blog on Performancing – is a no-brainer in terms of marketing potential.

  2. If your post makes it to the front page (which it usually does if you have something valuable to contribute), you have instant reach to thousands of bloggers.

    Stop and think for a second. Bloggers, god dammit! These people love nothing else but to find something interesting anywhere and yap about it on their own blog. If you capture their attention and write something useful to them, chances are that someone will write about your post on their own blog.

    If you play this right, you might even be getting links to your own site/blog.

  3. It can’t be emphasised enough, methinks. This is a friggin’ brilliant marketing opportunity.

    Now if only I was smart enough to post more on my Perfomancing blog than write silly comments on Nick’s posts….

  4. Having said all that, you do need one thing – something useful to contribute. Luckily, our experiences in blogging and making money online are so varied that there’s almost always something new to share and discuss.

    For example, a lot of the advice given here on Performancing is from on a medium-to-advanced level – from people who are successful or just getting there.

    It would be awesome to see more posts from people at the starting curve where they are still earning less than $1 a day and sharing their insights. Basic stuff, I know, but you’d be surprised at how much people will have to contribute once you get going.

There you go Nick. Thought your post lacked emphasis on why people should blog here, so this should help.
