According to Statista Inc., one of the leading statistics company on the internet, as of the year 2016, there are already 2.2 billion social media users all around the world. I know this would be me stating the obvious, but that’s a lot of people.
Sadly, a large part of that demographic is not occupied by blogging sites like this. It’s sad because I believe that blogging can be so powerful if only used properly. Instead of devoting your time sharing videos on Facebook about cats or recipes we both know you’ll never try, why not try to start a blog and actually benefit from it?
Here are 5 good reasons on why you should start a blog:
It serves as your portfolio.
- Blogs can reflect your interest, intellectual background, skills, and work ethics. If you’re a college undergrad or even a graduate, having a blog can give you an advantage when looking for a job compared to those who doesn’t have one. Employers would usually ask for a working experience, and for undergrads and fresh graduates, what experience do they have aside from the internship? Having a blog that is regularly updated could show that you’re socially aware and that you are creative with a good intellectual background.
