I read a very good article offered by Copyblogger this morning. The article titled How to Become an Authority Blogger , has some very useful tips for those seeking to improve their blogging skills. Ryan Imel gives us a few tips to follow to help improve your blogging authority.
I suppose writing about someone else’s article on authority is not exactly the best way to establish authority but I felt the article very useful and thought others should read it as well.

Ryan’s tips include:

Tips for Finding Your Authority

• Check your thoughts regularly. Things that are commonplace and a no-brainer to you are usually not that way for other people. Oftentimes what you don’t think is worth writing about (even though it’s your passion and even though you know it very well) is just the thing others are waiting to read.
• Speak with authority. One of my favorite uncles retired from a high level management position to start his own business offering leadership training to companies and organizations. His main reason for going down this path? He started speaking with authority and people just ate it up. He’ll be the first to admit that he’s not saying anything particularly earth shattering. But he’s the one saying it, and sometimes that’s all that makes the difference between the authority and the audience.
• Study other authorities. In blogging, this is imperative. If you want to blog on something as an authority, start looking around at what other bloggers in completely different fields are doing. I guarantee you will see trends and gain ideas just by studying how they write and what they write about.

I agree with Ryan on this issue of finding your authority especially now that more people are becoming bloggers. It is important to find your voice and establish yourself as an authority on that topic (niche). There is more to this article so go check it out.
