Some people blog for the sake of being heard.
Some blog to let their thoughts and feelings out.
Many bloggers find blogging as a good way to make extra income whilst sharing knowledge.
Sadly, there are some negative people who think blogging is a waste.
Let's go through the benefits before we make our mind up, shall we? Learn Reading the word 'learn' might make you think, "How can you learn from writing?" The answer lies in what type of blog your blog is.
If it's an educational and fact-based blog, of course you'd need to read more about the topics you want to write about, hence, improving your understanding of the subject.
You wouldn't want your work to contradict with facts.
So, to have a good, useful blog, you would be teaching yourself as well as teaching others when you do your 'homework' and research.
If your blog is focused on your personal life and experiences, you can still learn new things.
Believe me, when you write about your days and problems in life, there will always be a high possibility that one, if not many, of your readers share or have experienced the same problem.
What will most likely happen is that they'll give you the right advise on how you can overcome the problem and avoid it in the future.
Is this not learning? Be heard When you talk to a friend, you will never really know the percentage of listening they give to you.
But, when you blog, you can always be sure you're 'heard' when someone comments on your posts.
Think about it - why would anyone want to spend their time posting a comment or two if they've not really read your posts? Well, there will always be the issue of spamming.
But, you can always delete spammers.
So, your site can stay spam free.
Improve writing skills Believe it or not, you will be able to improve your writing skills when you blog.
This can be highly useful particularly to students and people who wishes to be a writer.
Or simply, the people who'd like to get their points through to others easily.
Let's look at our blog as a 'diary' of our writing - the different forms, the different types and the different 'taste' we use to reach our different target audience and readers.
By writing, you can receive more comments from these different people, meaning you can understand different views and see how different people may 'read' and understand differently by how you write.
Thus, every time you write, you can consider potentially better words to make your posts as friendly as possible for your readers.
Other than that, when you blog, you're bound to surf the net to find other sites and blogs.
Otherwise, it surely will be boring - it's like living in a world where there is no one else except you.
By looking at different sites, you can compare your writing to others' and see how you can improve your style of writing.
Extra income Some people may say making money online is impossible.
Let me just say - it IS possible.
How else do you think businesses make money when they use the world wide web as their 'shop'? All you need is the goods - and how you promote your blog will determine how much money you make.
One thing to keep in mind though, Never give up!
