Why Blog?

So in this first post of mine, I am going to tell you why blogging is a good idea. Although there are some obvious disadvantages (everybody knows that nothing on the internet really ever gets deleted completely), I choose to see the good parts of blogging.

Here are my main three advantages:

1. For one, blogging is a great personal outlet. One can blog to talk about anything and one would eventually find someone with similar interests that happen to come across the website. This is especially awesome if nobody in real life is interested in that particular topic.
2. Secondly, blogging can help kickstart one's professional career. When blogging about one's work or aspirations on a website, it can act as a portfolio for future employers or clients. If one, for example, was an artist, publishing work online can lead to requests for custom work or even a job. Additionally to that, just blogging about one's personal life can also be rewarding professionally if the blog takes off and one can make money from it.
3. For the third on the list, a more selfless reason: blogging can be a way to help others. Writing about ones experience with trauma or just math problems can make others feel understood. And if the blog post then also suggests a way of resolving the problem or describes a technique of dealing with issues, it can have a positive effect on others.

So overall, it is evident (at least to me) that blogging is a great way to interact online, benefiting oneself and also others. So if you are not blogging yet, what are you waiting for?

And if you are not convinced yet, take a look at this blog post, that inspired me for my own:
