RE: The Reports from the Witnesses 2018-08-12
@timcliff I am searching on witnesses from last night and find out few info on wiki but not good enough for me.
Can you please tell me what they actually are and what are the core advantages of being a witness. How can I become a witness?

I already answered part of the question (what witnesses do) in a reply to another user's comment on this post. You can find that info there.
As far as becoming a witness, witnesses get paid per block they produce. Here is a guide to get you started if interested: https://steemit.com/witness-category/@timcliff/steps-for-setting-up-a-witness-node-the-manual-way. You should be aware though, that getting enough votes to run a "profitable" witness can be quite difficult. Many witnesses have to run their servers at a loss for quite some time before they can prove to the community/stakeholders that they are a valuable and trustworthy witness.
If I just create blocks but didn't get upvote will I still receive SP in reward I only want to do that for the sake of SP?

You do not get any blocks to produce if you don’t have any votes.
Ohhh I see are these votes I get on my blogs and comments am I right?

No, they are unrelated.
Witness votes are done here: https://steemit.com/~witnesses
Ohhh that is difficult for me at the moment than thanks for your kind information otherwise I might have invest some money and than find out it is not possible in amount of time I have.
