So you’re blogging away. You get feedback and suggestions. You comment on other posts and others comment on yours. You even meet people that contribute to your blog and vice versa.
Somewhere in all of this you find your running a small or community or are part of one. And your mind hearkens back to every single person who ever told you you should network more. Instead of that rising desire to scream at them “yes, I know everyone tells me that!” you realize you are doing that.
By blogging.
Blogging invites people in, invites them to communicate, creates dialogue. By blogging you can do a lot of networking without thinking about it (and over-thinking about it).

You’re networking. And that can help your career and ambitions.

You have things to say. You have ideas. You have statements.
You want to get them out. To broadcast them.
You want to know how to reach people and connect with them.
You want to get over your fear of doing it in the first place.

A blog is a great way to get better at this.
Blogging is a soap box you can stand on and shout from.
