There are not many sites like this one. Most of the consulting blogs out there just talk about the consultant's business, as opposed to the consulting business. With all the talk saying downsized and older workers should become consultants you would think there would be more out there. You are right. There are not many sites like this one.

I do not disagree. However, I would like to add one more point. Few days I came across an article in Ezine, Six Tips for Cleaning Up Your Article Boo-Boos written by Ann Zuccardy, a professional writer and business entrepreneur. She emphasizes on correctness and how silly mistakes and grammar mistakes can ruin a beautiful writing. I also agree with her. I think saying correctly what needs to be said is another habit of a professional blogger. Yes these are the habits of a professional blogger. I do not disagree.

And I'm sure your audience will grow as people turn more toward being self-employed rather than working in a corporation. I'd have to guess that besides writing content, you just need to get the word out on your site. There are a few carnivals (Carnival of Business, Carnival of Entrepreneurship) that might be good places to look, if you haven't tried them already. Good luck!

I'd like to become a consultant, but I feel like I need to be making a living from blogging first. I've made progress but I've got a lot to learn. So this should be a good resource for me.

I too am a consultant and I love these goals. I came to consulting in writing, editing and public relations, when I got married and moved. So, I don't fit neatly into one of your three groups, though I did have about eight years of expeience under my belt when I started four years ago. I guess I fit in a group called, Life Changes. I plan to subscribe and see what I can learn ;-) I am so glad that I stumbled across your blog. I too am a consultant and I love these goals.
