Bloggers

Successful bloggers have a lot of experience as writers—working as reporters for their high school yearbooks and newspapers, writing for their school television or radio stations, or writing their own blogs.

Bloggers must be very creative and excellent writers. They should have strong opinions and be able to express these opinions in written form. They should have a broad general knowledge, be skilled in research techniques, and be computer literate. Other important traits include curiosity, initiative, and persistence. They must also be able to accept criticism from readers who may not share their opinions. Finally, bloggers need good advertising and marketing skills in order to attract paid advertisements and fans to their blog.
