Why did I start a blog?

I am just getting into the photography world and one thing that people keep telling me is marketing! Sounds scary. So one step at a time I am trying to market myself in hopes that I will be able to make a living with this career path. I started marketing first by making a website (which if your reading this hopefully you have already looked at, if not, go right now), second is to make business cards and start passing them out, and third is to make a blog. I heard that in this day in age every photography should have a blog because that is the new big thing to do. So here I go, making my first blog and hopefully one day someone will be interested enough to read it. So I am making a goal to keep blogging one blog at a time to see where it gets me in life. :)
