Here's how it can accelerate your career:
1. Building a Network:
Writing shrinks the world.
Historically, if you wanted to break into an industry, you had to move to its hub. Not anymore. By writing online, you can build a network from your couch.
Meet people online. Then travel to build relationships in person.

2. Building Expertise:
Quality writing begins with clear thinking.
Once you write about a topic, you can speak about it more clearly, which will help you crush job interviews and establish yourself as an authority.
Learn about topics that interest you and share what you learn.

3. Team Truth-Seeking:
If you write well about an industry, your readers will respond with ideas of their own.
They'll improve your thinking when they do.
In any industry, everybody wants to meet the big names, but quality writers get a fast pass to the front of the line.

4. High-Level Conversations:
Many of the most important ideas aren't shared in public.
Instead, they're shared in small-group conversations.
Writing online will get you into the room where deals are being made and crucial conversations are happening.

5. Access:
The CEO of the first company I worked for asked me to help him write articles.
I was just 21 years old at the time and gained direct access to him.
If you're early in your career, cold email a high-level person and offer to write for them.
