Expand Knowledge in Chosen Field - Due to the fact you'll need to find fresh information on a regular basis, running a blog will help you to widen your knowledge in your chosen field. Whether you're blogging about your MA in Psychology or how to get the most out of student discounts, you'll always be learning something new.

To Make Money - There are all sorts of ways you can monetize your blog from advertising to direct sales. The choice is yours. And that's not all - plenty of bloggers have landed themselves sweet paying jobs from simply putting themselves out there. I guess you could say blogs are the new CV!
