STOP Being Boring, Be ‘Out of the Ordinary’

How can you expect people to visit your blogs if your posts are repetitive, boring, and dull? Don’t you think it’s pretty obvious that visitors wouldn’t stick around your blog if it stinks?

We all know this truth. To be on the top, we need to be interesting. What we don’t know is how to do it. How to actually be interesting? I have done a bit of research by reading my blog as well as others and found out few things that we all, as writers, need to inculcate. Here are few tips to make your content interesting.

• Be Different:
  We all are striving to adjust ourselves according to the norms set by people decades ago. C’mon writers, it’s your blog, do something different every time. Common is boring.
• Be Bold:
  We aren’t being bold enough. We have it all in our minds, but we either don’t have the courage to let it out, or we are too concerned about what we write. What’s the harm to spit it all out, even if it is wrong? It’s your blog, you are free to express your perception.
• Be Witty:
  Humor can be added in all kind of blogs. If you own a spiritual or a financial blog, you don’t have to provide very serious tips all the time. A bit of humor can liven up the atmosphere, and avoid people from dozing off.

• Break the routine:
  We always have a routine, why not surprise people sometimes? You can do this by writing something weird sometimes, or doing opposite of what you usually do. If you can be easily predicted, people would ignore you. It’s not only girls who like surprises, we all do.
• Provide inner facts:
  By this I don’t mean stock market insider information or something. Most of us provide tips like a teacher does, our blogs are well organized and they are quite instructive. We don’t really explore the real facts. For instance, not is single blogger creates whatever he writes, some posts or some parts of the post is stolen. But we don’t accept it and we never write about it. Write something real, boy.
• Be very, very honest; be naked:
  If you can do this, you can connect well with your readers. We are all striving to become big, and only truth might help us to reach there. Many of our suggestions are pure lies, sometime we don’t follow what we say. Scribe the truth, everything about how you feel, what you think, what it should have been, and what you are not. Not many can do this.
• Be crazy:
  If you really want to be noticed, be crazy. Start doing anything and everything. Make fun of people, do something abnormal, write stinky articles about dirty politics, and whatever comes to your mind. Make sure you add a social or a useful message at the end of every article.

That’s it. I guess these tips are enough to make any blog interesting. I would, however, like to search for more things around the web that makes reading ‘out of the ordinary’.
