Any work you do on the internet adds to the quality, credibility, etc. of either someone else’s website or your own website(s). Its really important to understand two important paradigm shifts
- Every single action you take on the internet is building up your reputation and brand. You are basically constructing your image on the net based on your actions.
- Every single post or forum thread or comment you write is a branding and money making opportunity.
Fundamentally, having your own personal blog and having a blog or website or forum centered around your main passion and/or work role are two indispensable things.
