The benefits of blogging

Blogs are getting more popular. A lot of writers are getting into the blogging bandwagon for many reasons. Some write blogs to earn money, while others blog to hone their skills. Here are two reasons why I think a Technical Communication student like me should blog.

1.      It improves one’s writing skill.
Blogging is a good way to practice writing and editing. It is true that we can enhance our skills through the writing assignments that we get in class; however, by blogging, we give ourselves more opportunities to write about a wide variety of topics. This will help us become more flexible in the genres that we write.

2.      It creates a good network.
Like forums, blogs encourage discussions on certain topics, which can open opportunities for you to get future clients or possible jobs.  A Blog can be considered an online portfolio.

Here are just two reasons how a student can benefit from blogging. Happy blogging everyone!
