You can also answer questions and strive to become a trusted resource for those who visit your blog or read your materials and use your products or services.

You’re also creating an online presence for yourself. And that ongoing presence is one of the tools in your toolbox that will help potential customers/clients grow to know, trust and like you so that they become actual customers/clients.
