  • The best bloggers are trendsetters and have an eye for new ideas. They can usually find something interesting and fun in everyday life. By talking about issues their audiences care about in an honest and engaging way, they become trustworthy sources of information.

They write consistently, and use social media, networking events, and other blogs to grow their audience over time.
