Love to Blog, except ”I don’t have the time to blog!” If you are a solo-entrepreneur there are many things “we” need to look after, however writing your blog takes priority.
A blog is a fantastic marketing opportunity to showcase your knowledge, demonstrate your expertise and who you are. Blogs are much more than a brochure, it’s where you can share what you do, what your company does and you can make it very interactive. And it’s an inexpensive cash expense.
It’s not something in my view point for you to hand it over to someone else to do for you. There are likely little jobs that you do, you can give to someone else, to give you more time for writing your blog.

Yes, I know it takes time to write and post on blogs, I usually have three blogs of which I write articles for on an ongoing basis. Sometimes like today – I get a writers block, so be sure that you can sit down quietly even before your day starts, or at the end of the day – you know your rhythm, just put it on the calendar and do it.
