The writer should follow the top bloggers in the niche of his choice. Moreover, as a writer, one should also follow these top SEO blogs to help them keep updated about the SEO trends in writing.
Share the journals, publications, researches, reports, news, magazines, blogs, etc. that you prefer reading online for the niche.
If a writer isn’t following other bloggers, then it becomes a complete no for me to hire them. The main reason being, he or she may not be aware of the current writing trends in the niche. However, for some niche, one can make an exception as well.
