I am not a great "salesperson" myself. I do share tips and information, but I add in recommended products or tools. Most of what I recommend is free, but I also use my blog to market my article writing. So I do use it to market myself, but I am not selling more then myself. Just my posts and writing style is all I really need and not a sales pitch

There are many people who do well using their blog to market products. Businesses can have a success with a blog as they can keep customers and potential customers up to date with what is happening.
