Why Accountants should Blog
Recently, I was asked why I thought accountants should blog. Well, here it goes.
1. It is a great way to practice your creative writing
2. It is a great way to let potential clients know what you are thinking -- including your inner most thoughts
3. It is a lot cheaper than building a website; all it takes is a few bucks (or you can do it fro free)
4. It is very therapeutic and will make you forget our client's complaining (and their shoe boxes of receipts)
5. It is a great way to let your mom know what you are doing on a day-to-day basis
6. It is a great way to get away from (mostly) numbers for a while
7. It is a great way to stand out in the web crowd
8. It is a great way to let other blogs, web magazines, printed
magazines that you have something to say and therefore they should
consider publishing your work.
9. It is a great way of virtually tapping someone on the shoulder' and
telling them you have something to say without really bein intrusive
10. It provides an alternative finger exercise to working out on a calculator
11. It is a great way to connect with younger clients (they will know your cool (opps, I just showed my age with that word)
12. It is a good thing to do when you can't fall asleep at 2 am.
13. It is a good distraction from your real work.
SO, why do you do it?
