The recent interview series talked about whether blogging was helpful to getting established freelance or whether it was a liability. That article underlined the dangers of blogging; but my recent experience illuminates the positive side of blogging.
The signature of all of my emails includes a link to my blog, which friends and others access at times, especially when first meeting me. Recently, that practice paid off when an editor that I had worked with before saw the article I had written about China's fabled "Mobilephone Stone." The editor said he thought it would be a good addition to one of their light, humorous first-person columns. After a couple rounds of revision, the article made it's way to be published. It's a great day when the pitches come to you instead of from you--a big turnaround from my earliest days where I would spend hours upon hours simply drafting and sending pitches.
