Technorati's State of the Blogosphere series chronicles the rise and evolution of the Blogosphere as we know it. Since 2004 there's been an explosive growth and application of this new approach to publishing. Technorati's State of the Blogosphere event recently provided some startling statistics and demographics about how important blogging is for the self-employed - not just for hobbyists or large corporations.

Keeping a blog takes work. It takes discipline. But I have the motive for you (and me) that I didn't have before. That is the HUGE ROI. The ROI of blogging can now be tracked to provide a 3:1 return! That kind of return on investment is huge when you realize that creating and publishing a blog is not expensive, it's simply sweat equity, which solopreneurs sign up for anyway.

If you truly are a solo achiever, be it as a consultant, solopreneur, startup, entrepreneur, sole proprietor of a professional services firm, or just want to be, you need to check this out.
