5 Reasons Freelancers Need to Blog

1) Blogs Create Authority Around YOU
By blogging, and expressing your knowledge and opinion on your specific niche field, you?re commanding authority around your character.

2) Blogs Generate Traffic
Quite simply, due to the fact that blogs continuously update with new content, search engines love them. This can mean loads of traffic for your blog, if you choose to write about highly searched issues.

3) Blogging Builds Up Connections
Whilst blogging, the amount of people that you interact with, whether that is via a comments section on blog posts, or through emails you receive from readers, is astounding. Even if you run a relatively small blog, with a few hundred visitors every month, you?ll still get ample opportunity to make those connections.

4) Blogging Can Be Therapeutic
We freelancers can get very stressed out at times with all the deadlines (sheesh, why do they call them DEADlines) and clients we need to keep up with ? and what better way to relieve the stress by ranting on your own blog, ey?

5) Blogging Develops Language Skills
We hear on the news (almost daily) that the literacy level of both children and adults is appalling, even in countries with good education. If you feel you fall into this bracket, then the best way to get out of your conundrum is to read and write more. It definitely improves your vocabulary, grammar, and communications whether that be vocally or written.

Blogging is a great SEO tool as well, especially if used to support a website.  One can post links to their website and not only create backlinks, but, also drive additional traffic to it ...

I agree to that statment

You can say that again. And on your own blog, you can say it again, and again, and again.

Over time, they will begin to trust you and to view you as an expert on whatever subject your specialize in.
