You know that there are a lot of bloggers out there. Some are successful and some are not. The primary thing that will distinguish you from them is the way you communicate and air your opinions. I always welcome their views of course, but I go ahead and do what I feel is right for me and my audience. I make it more unique to myself. If someone I follow closely puts up a text-based article, I make an audio post.
