Blogs can get you noticed by the media
Blogs are an important tool for journalists, says a recent Marketwatch survey.
In the survey of reporters and editors, 75% of journalists see blogs as a good source for news and story ideas.
In addition, the survey found that more than 20% spend an hour every day reading blogs that cover their beat and more than half check them out at least 2-3 times a week.
So you still don’t think blogging is for you? Well, let me give you a personal example. I was ‘found’ be a journalist from Entrepreneur magazine, all due to my blog.
So without a blog, you might be missing some opportunities to connect with journalists.

I know this is true from personal experience.
A couple of years ago I started a humorous parody blog purportedly by a very colourful Aussie politician who had just burst onto the national stage.
It was popular the whole time he was in the public eye. I did a radio interview and had a few mentions in papers and magazines. Even did an interview for Rolling Stone (Australian version).
I look forward to something like this happening again. I’m confident it will, although I do think it’s harder to get noticed now since there are so many more blogs in existence.
