I've been writing blog posts for 10 years and I don't even write with the intention of anyone reading it, it's just nice to get my thoughts into words or document a project I've been working on (e.g. how to get some weird hardware to work, or what some weird error messages really mean). Having it be public is a motivator to make sure it's at least kind of coherent. Sometimes I get an email from someone who found one of my step by step guides useful, that gives me a warm fuzzy feeling which is the closest thing to a benefit I get.
