Benefits of Blogging

Hey people...Today almost everyone has their own blog. Am I right? Have you ever thought of how useful can blogs be to a person? Today, there are over 150 million blogs on the Internet, which makes for pretty big growth. Nowadays, having a blog is almost commonplace and created for many purposes such as personal, business, schools, non-profits and politics.

So, I think you might have caught my point. I'm just going to share 5 important benefits of blogging for the everyday person and even for the new users. Here you go: 

1. A blog can be an online profile

• Companies today which are linked to the technology niche are researching the online profiles of the prospective candidates for position vacancies. This allows companies to execute a more targeted search for talent and recruit experienced applicants. Hence, blogging can be a good platform to job applicants and employees who want to showcase their portfolio, work experience and knowledge. 

     2.   A blog is an opportunity to make money

• Today, bloggers can make money via ad space (think GoogleAdSense ads), affiliate programmes, eBooks sales, speaking fees, private ad sales or sponsored reviews and selling a product/service. Not only that, blogs can offer part-time income, even helping many families earn money with a stay-at-home parent.  

     3.  Writing in a blog improves one's writing skills

• There are only two ways to become a better writer- either by reading or writing regularly. An active blogger will regularly produce thousands of posts each week, and as we know, practice makes perfect. The more you write, the more organized ideas you can gain. 

     4.  With a blog, feedback is easy to get

• Blogs with an active and loyal readership or community can be a great way of getting feedback. No matter where you are in life, what you are experiencing, or the hardships ahead of you, there is someone in the online community who can relate to you.For example, the personal finance community is littered with bloggers who started websites to document their journey to becoming debt-free. By reporting their progress to their readers, they are able to get feedback from others in similar situations as well as maintain a sense of accountability. 

     5.  A blog is an easy way of establishing a contact network

• By sharing your experiences, knowledge and insights, you can establish yourself as an expert or authority figure within a niche or industry. Once you start to become known as an industry expert, you can start to grow your professional network by introducing yourself to other industry professionals and influencers. 

That's all. I hope that you have got some useful information here. Happy blogging !!! :)
