It tends to widen your scope and bring in more ideas which would be useful in the long run.

One approach to this that works great is getting someone else to proof-read your articles after you must have made them. Sometimes, it gets difficult proof-reading your articles yourself, but hiring someone else for that purpose has proven to be the best bet. I’m not trying to say you shouldn’t do your Proof Reading yourself, If you feel you can achieve same and do not have a budget for a freelancer, why not go solo.
