Authority not needed to start?

I used to believe that I needed. approval from higher ups before I could even begin writing, and that is simply not the case.

While it's true that your authority will grow as you learn more about a subject and gain experience writing reviews and suggesting ideas on blog posts, you'll still need to rely on research when writing blog posts about topics where your expertise isn't as strong.
Blog posts and my newly acquired knowledge would be stagnant and boring if I gave in to imposter syndrome and believed all the naysayers.
So, if you're just starting out, don't worry about sounding authoritative; if what you're writing is in your own words and helps people, then by all means, publish it

You could earn money from those unauthorized blogs.
