In this short piece Kim Tasso, a Legal Consultant and a successful Open University MBA Alumnus, shares her reasons for blogging. She has blogged since 2000. She offers eight good reasons to do so:
1. You write about something that interests you. So you blog for the intrinsic pleasure of it.
2. To share ‘profound thoughts’.
3. To share the profound thoughts of a colleague.
4. It’s easy to do. Self-publishing has come of age.
5. Social media lets you get your message out to a huge network.
6. Easily shared content starts a conversation.
7. You connect with new people.
8. It helps with Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
In a mind-map I stretch this to 24 reasons to blog. I’ve added more, though the three most important to me are: for the fun of it, to share knowledge and to converse with like-minds.
