Why would anyone join LinkedIn if he does not have a blog?
Why would anyone think that LinkedIn can help his career, but having a blog is peripheral?
Every day, I am invited to join someone's network on LinkedIn. I belonged to LinkedIn for less than one day, and that was maybe 7 years ago. Then I quit.
I don't need to join LinkedIn. I have a widely visited blog (Tea Party Economist) and a site: Gary North's Specific Answers.
If you want to be known as an expert, create a blog. If you need publicity, and it's a question of joining LinkedIn or starting a blog, start a blog.
Here is a good article by a young man who has started a nice side business. He shows you the many advantages of blogging.
I recommend using www.WordPress.com. It's free.
