Every day. For the rest of your life. That's a bit too much for some people, especially if their business isn't webcentric. If you're working in The Long Tail, that's then not an option. You must blog. Not, is desiring to win Wimbledon without playing tennis. Can't disagree with what holds people back. I'd add though - a fear of intimacy. Seriously. You're working a smaller room. This isn't broadcast. It's a cocktail party. You're juggling four or five conversations, mixing drinks, and keeping you're eye on the babe in the corner. As well: the power thing. Taking back power, power that you have handed over to experts - the mediators - is hard. It goes against your training. Blogging is plumbing. And the control thing. Blogging is a threat. Blogging undermines certain power structures - those based in the sociopatholgical sciences, while creating another entirely different set. Mention blogging to certain types and you get some extreme reactions. I find at least. And the numbers thing? False promise, Hugh. It's not eyeballs. Get over it.
