Does Social Media Marketing Really Work for Most Blogs?

Today's post was supposed to be about a client who likes to leave projects "hanging in the wind," so to speak. I'll do that one tomorrow. I forgot that I post over at BloggingTips.com on Wednesday, and had another topic in mind that's been taking up space in my head for today's post. So, what's been cloggin' my noggin? Well social media marketing and freelance writing blogs.

Obviously, this blog is all about the business of freelance writing. And, even though I post to social media sites like Digg, Propeller and StumbleUpon, I just don't see much traffic from those sites. My post today, Does Social Media Marketing Really Work for Most Blogs?, goes into detail about why I don't think social media sites are a good bet for promoting freelance writing blogs.

I'd love to hear your take on the subject. FYI, don't forget to view the freelance writing job leads below.

Hope you're having a lovely hump day!
