Blogging will not foster clients, is a sinkhole of time and will go stale
First of all, I do have a dog in this race as we design blogsites for lawyers. Second, I do coaching and consulting with clients on blogging. What you see below is a response I posted on an email listserv called Solo Lawyer Marketing. It is a great listserv where lawyers and marketing professionals freely exchange questions and answers. With that out of the way, let me respond.
Let me first take your concerns one by one:
- it will not foster origination of clients in my area;
- it’s a sinkhole for time;
- if I start and stop, the prominent existence of a blog last
updated “August 21, 2007″ will publicly testify to my lack of
dedication in perpetuity.


When we look at our blogs and the “traffic” we get to our blogs, it is my position we should break that traffic down into two distinct categories. 

I am Grant Griffiths and I blog and co-own a blog consulting and design firm.
