Thanks. You’ve inspired me to stick with it.

  As someone who has gotten some decent traffic out of articles: you may find that a "blog" isn't necessarily worthwhile, but that producing 10-20 high quality articles is. Especially since articles can often double as a high quality FAQ, lowering your customer support requirements. Good blogs basically serve the same role, they generate a lot of posts which could be effective standalone articles.

  Glad I could help. But I would like to caution you that it does require quite a lot of commitment and time. You can't treat your blog posts any less and try to be done with it in one evening and then forget about it (it won't show in Google or generate traffic or signups yet most people think of blogging that way only). Sometimes you may have to spend days researching / writing an article, graphics and PDF while spending $500 on your graphics, editing, proof-reading, etc. It requires the same type of effort you would put in creating a product. Then the outreach is the worst part where you have to convince other people in your niche to add your articles as a resource (Brian Dean has some great advice on this btw).

    You can pay someone to write blog posts. And $500 for 1000-2000 word posts is a fair price.
