Normally people cannot see the benefits of blogging. Blogging does not look like it is worth anyone's time, particularly info overload times we live in today. Nevertheless, there are a group of very informed people and business owners who know what the very strong benefits of blogging are; and those benefits are so valuable to them it is almost scary that the world is not required to blog like they are to breath.
First off, to get a better picture of what a blog is, we have to use its' original name. The natural name for blog is a web-log; and the slang way to say it is simply a "blog." A web-log is simply log of content. Before the blog was invented all websites were static (or flash). So if a blog is a simple log of content; what does that remind you of? It reminds you of a journal. One of those silly private things girls keep all their young years that they hide from their parents and friends. Knowing this, what exactly are the benefits of blogging?
One of the primary benefits of blogging is that it will improve your ability to think. My mentor pointed this out to me in detail. As we keep a log of information or events, it helps our brain process information or things. If you can process things better, it will help you think better. When I was first learning the Bible, I would blog about what I learned. I realized my constant blogging or "logging" was allowing me to absorb what I learned better. Legendary performance trainer, Brain Tracy, once said in order to learn something well you have to teach or present it to others. I did this and it has greatly helped me learn quicker, maintain it more proficiently, and think more constructively as well.
In order to think better, we have to ask ourselves questions and think about the answer and write about it. This is how to develop content for our blog. We can research questions other people are constantly asking and think for them by providing the answers. Our thinking will get so much better because we're forcing our brain to work in the form of thinking.
Another unknown benefit of blogging is that it can help you earn income. I call it the mutual fund (at least the good ones) of the internet marketing world. Blogging consistently with good topics and content can be monetized online. You can use a myriad of methods to monetize your blog. Some use banners to the side with ads that are related to the article. Other bloggers just use Google Adsense, some have affiliate links with product offers; whatever the case there are a number of ways to monetize your blog.
Good content and I mean real good quality content is going to help you get quality visitors, subscribers, and loyal readers and this is what makes our blogs valuable thus able to earn us more money. We would have never imagined simply blogging would help us think better and thinking better could help us earn more money!
Blogging allows you to help other people. Even if what you blog about is not a direct "how to" type of content, giving specifics on a subject will be beneficial for whomever it is that likes it. Loyal readers are loyal for a reason; you are providing help in the form of education, entertainment, or both. If you are helping someone in a given area, your blog just took on another level of value to the world.
If your blog can really help other people or act as a solution to their problems; then it will make you an expert in that field. Being viewed as an expert will help your wallet or bank account (which ever you like to refer to your monetary goods). The reason this is a benefit to blogging is because people will come to you for the answers in your subject matter. This can open more doors, speaking arrangement or engagements, seminars and webinars, turning most of your most valuable content into books and courses, which again monetizes your blog. It can even turn into a full-time business.
The possibilities are endless and it all begins with you blogging. When you think of all the great benefits blogging can bring to you; thinking better and at higher levels than the average Joseph, earning an income, helping other people, and becoming an expert in your field overnight (no 10 year college needed); it is not overwhelmingly surprising that many people are beginning to blog. Get on the blogging bandwagon and contribute to the world and in doing so you'll receive the awesome benefits of blogging.
