He started the blog with exactly the intention JJ has in mind - to build cred, trust and sales. In six months the blog EXPLODED, such that he's quit his (well-paying) job, has started a company of his own selling blogging training, and is turning away business becuase he can't hire fast enough. He's asked to speak at national events on his subject (blogging for Realtors) and, well, I could go on and on.. Suffice to say that, yes - blogging works for salespeople.

Besides the traffic, you gain the people's trust because you're giving them something useful for free. When I provide valuable information blogging, I think of it as empowering my clients to make better decisions; I'm sure they appreciate it and will remember me.
