Why You Need to Blog More (Even If Nobody Reads It)

So you're thinking about starting a blog, or maybe dusting off that forgotten corner of the internet you call your own. But the thought "Why bother? Nobody reads it anyway" keeps creeping in. I'm here to tell you that's the wrong question altogether. Forget about views, forget about going viral. Here are my few reasons why you need to blog more, even if your audience consists of you, your mom, and a few curious bots:

Establish Credibility (Beyond Just Expertise)

A blog is a low-cost, high-impact way to demonstrate knowledge in your field. Referrals based on something that someone read is a basis for credibility.

Solidify Your Understanding

The act of writing forces you to organize your thoughts, sharpen your perspective, and connect the dots in a way that simply thinking about a topic never could. You are basically forced to clarify you point of view.

Future You Will Thank You

Your blog becomes your own personal knowledge base, a readily accessible repository of solutions, insights, and processes you can revisit time and time again.

Level Up Your Communication Skills

Practicing writing regularly makes you a better communicator in all areas of your life, from concise emails to well-articulated presentations. You practice with writing in a public matter, this help to do communications in any public matter.

A Timestamped Record of Your Growth

A blog lets you document your career log of experience and credibility to proof experience.

Stand Apart from the AI Slop

Anyone can generate content with AI, but blog posts from 2023 and before are proof and undeniable. People will also read blogs when people include them in resumes.

Complete Side Projects by documenting them

Doing so provides a conclusion. The blog post is the finish that you are working to get in your hobby.

Get It Out of Your Head

Just like therapy, use it as a way to see if people share your opinion. Its a hobby that becomes an external motivation just so someone could read it and it can get more detailed writing.

To Improve and Take Control of Yourself

Blogging is like mediation, it is primarily good for yourself and not something that others might get from it. Its a good way to improve on your own to express your opinion on the Internet where everything is a echo chamber.
