My take for blogging is as follows:

Start blogging on what you are very familiar with. If you are an expert on cars and if you want to brand yourself as a car expert than you should be blogging about cars.
Participate in the major conversations that go on in your industry. When you chime in don’t just repeat what everyone else is saying, but add to it and give a unique perspective. I know this can be difficult to do, but as they say “There is no such thing as a free lunch.”

Blogging isn’t like writing for newspapers; you can be quite a bit more opinionated. Take a stance and also take calculated risks because it will draw more hype compared to being wishy-washy about a topic.

When doing these three things keep in mind that you need to provide some sort of benefit to whoever is reading your content. If you can help them by providing in-depth information that they can use then you will express yourself as an expert. If you just provide the same repetitive information that everyone else is providing then you will be seen as just another Average blogger.
