Writing a blog post takes a tremendous amount of work! You have to choose illustrations, appealing titles, find resources for your content, make it readable and clear, cross-post if you have your own platform and it's even harder if you write in a language that's not native to you.
However, this work is compensated by the reasons you mentioned. I would also add the good feeling you get when you know it actually helps people and they let you know 🙂

Yes! That is also a great point - the good feeling when you know it actually helps people! It may be something small to us, but it can be that one blog post that someone really needed or even bookmarks to always turn to. That is definitely a great bonus to writing!
