| Blogging in AD VS Blogging on other sites(Blogger/Blogspot etc) | ||
| AD is a single place for Retail Investors “hangout”. Which means you already are exposed to 1000’s of Retail investors just like you without having to really market yourself. |
You have to go through a tedious process of setting up your blog. Followed by writing a great article just to learn that there are NO takers or readers. Then try to post in forums/message boards publicizing your blog. Continue this process for a couple of months and then potentially face closure due to non-scalable solution. |
