As I have been learning how to blog, I never miss publications on the newest tendencies in the world of blogging. It goes without saying that every beginner must find a niche and identify a group of ideal readers for their blog, but then… what else? According to my research of publications authored by well-recognized bloggers, the following features will become a must for every successful blogger in 2017:

• compelling content that adds value to readers;
• preferably short articles and posts;
• attractive illustrations, at least one for each post (I have no doubt that in 2017, visualization will become No1 factor of success for bloggers);
• simplicity and preciseness of all information;
• an easily identified, unique feel (or a unique author’s voice) of the blog to attract repeated visitors;
• clearly displayed personality of the blogger;
• positive general mood of the posts;
• rational use of social media, (the bloggers should not focus too much on them, they should rather focus on writing);
• ongoing research related to the main blog topics;
• regularly appearing video and audio content.
