Hi Becky - excellent reasons you've shared!

I'd like to add this one to your list: Regular blogging helps to remind you that your website is part of your business toolbelt. Many small business owners I've talked to have a website, but they don't use it. It's almost an afterthought. A commitment to regular blogging keeps this important "tool" on one's radar. Important changes and updates get made more quickly, and improvements are more likely to be implemented.

Thank you for sharing your list! Happy Friday! :-)

I have found a renewed passion for my work through blogging. Of course having subscribers is nice, but this benefit, plus becoming more knowledgable in my field, has made a world of difference in my focus and commitment to my work!

Now this is a serious blog with quality information, darn I forgot my coffee morning. You are right, there are lurkers that will read and may never subscribe but want your knowledge. Great way to start my morning. Thanks for the share.

I would add that you will become much more knowledgable about your subject matter. You can’t write without doing some digging into the topic.

Becky, Nice post. This is a related to #1 specifically – but I found that the quality of how I described my products and how they benefit my clients improved alongside the quality of my writing.
