Blogging Skills #16: Humility
The last blogging skill on my top list here is humility. It might seem odd that so many character-driven blogging skills are on this list, but these qualities are essential to enhancing any other skills you may have (or work to develop). Technical skills can arguably be learned a lot easier than changing things about your mindset, habits, or character—but the latter will be much more impactful in helping to grow your blog business over time.

I promise it won’t hurt your reputation if you’re willing to learn from your readers or other experts in your niche.
