Blogging With Authority
Gaining authority is an achievement for every blogger, yet for some, it is a conundrum.
Truly, it is quite hard to gain that “authority” if you are new to blogging. However, bloggers should know the art of positive faking, or the way of acting like an expert in your particular niche even if you actually just started your blog. Nevertheless, positive faking has prerequisites.
Understand; know your niche deeply before writing a single post
The only way to jumpstart a newly started blog is by deeply understanding, learning, and knowing your niche. It’s important to do an extensive research before posting on your blog because this will prevent you from making errors that will turn you into a poseur erudite and make you lose readers bigtime. Using professional words and niche jargons is also a good way to make people believe that you know what you’re talking about; just be sure to know it’s real meaning before including and using it on a post, otherwise, the real erudite will lambaste you on your commenting section.
Reply on comments with authority according to your knowledge, yet do not be a complete authoritarian.
Your blog’s commenting section is a great place to exercise your authority. Here, you don’t have to compose one long post just to appear authoritative; you just have to reply to people’s comments as if you have knowledge about what you’ve written. On the other hand, don’t be a total authoritarian, acting as if you own that niche or topic. Be open to comments (whether it’s a positive or negative one) and learn to answer them with politeness and class. Erudite’s number one trait is being professional, classy, and polite—readers love these traits.
Avoid saying ‘I think’ and ‘I am not sure’
People with authority are always sure, certain, and definite with their ideas, as so do authoritative blog owners. Avoid saying these words and always show your readers how knowledgeable you are about your niche.
Stand by your ideas, literally, fight for it if someone lambastes it.
When someone opposes your ideas, be firm and stand by them. Don’t let readers ruin your act; don’t be affected by rude comments. Having deep and vast knowledge about your niche secures your blogging authority, because no one could lambaste you as long as you are 100% sure of your blog posts.

You’re right. I remember one of my mentor who used to teach us that marketing is about positioning oneself as an expert in a chosen field.
To do so you need to give answers because that’s what readers are looking for.

I would have to agree with you. There are bloggers out there who are seen as “authorities” but didn’t start out as experts in their niche. It’s how they present their ideas, how well they researched, and how passionate they are to learn the subject.
Oh, great tips there! Yes, I should blog with Authority, as in fact I have tried a lot of web hosting companies. Some of them even created testing accounts for me! I am quite an “authority blogger” in web hosting, eh!

Quality and consistency, I think this is the best way to become authority in blogging. It takes time, probably a year to be recognized as reputable blogger.
For gaining authority, it all comes down to quality content. Other techniques can only enhance the authority of the site if there’s a strong platform to build upon.
If you want to become an authority make sure that you are writing on something you are passionate about. It will be obvious to your readers that you are expert in your niche if you will master writing what you truly love.
Thank you all for the comments. Great insights.
I have to agree with you at least that really great writing can have a very strong effect.

Nowadays, with so many people on the internet and so many “so called” guru’s and expert’s, I think it is very important to build up your own brand, and gain your own online identity and try to think out of the box, not just the same old recycled rubbish!
Once you have gained that authority, it must be a great feeling, as it is most definitely not easy!
As with everything, you have to work hard and keep at it.
