Heh, errr… starting a blog doesn’t mean that you’ll have to write twice as many articles… It just means that you copy and paste some, or all, of what you’ve already written into a blog entry and hit “post”. The additional time and energy is extremely marginal. It’s vanishingly small.
When you have a blog, people can easily subscribe to it. This way they are notified whenever you post something new. Plus, having a blog creates a wider net which increases your chances of catching more fish (aka educating more people). It also provides you with helpful traffic statistics. I always love it when somebody in China finds my blog.
When I add you to my blogroll… then anybody who visits my blog will be able to hop on over to your blog. Then they’ll hop on over here… or anywhere else you link them to.
Generally I wouldn’t tell somebody that the opportunity cost of blogging isn’t that high. Because… how in the world could I possibly know what they would have to sacrifice? But in your case… the opportunity cost is extremely small because you’re already making the sacrifice. All a blog does is help you get the most bang for your buck/sacrifice.

Just some food for thought!
