That Personal Touch


Writing blog posts from your personal experiences let the readers closely relate to the topic at hand.

Make the topic more colorful by acquainting it to an experience. Readers will appreciate your effort in trying to create a personal bond with them. This does not only make your blog content unique, it also makes readers more at ease, seeming to be talking to a human not just some automated encyclopedia.


Stand Alone


Although it's a good thing to be reading from various sources about the topic that you have in mind, do not just write as if you've just put these resources all together into one blog content. Use these resources as a means of generating a better way to present the topic, not to solely rely on to create content. Do more than research. Innovate.


Jot It All in a Journal


Most often, great ideas appear to us at the most unexpected places or moments. When these precious events occur, taking with you a handy journal might just be helpful. For the more technologically updated, keep these thoughts noted in your blackberry or notebook. You might just never know, what you might have forgotten might have been the “gold mine” that you've always been dreaming of.


When most Everybody Heads Right See the Light at the Other Side


We all controversies don't we? That's the key. Write from a perspective that does not jive what everybody else is agreeing to. Out of one popular subject, brainstorm through and see what the whole lot of people are missing. Once you've figured it out, it'll sure be like hitting jackpot attracting people by intriguing them first then laying it all out to them in delightful chunks.


Be an Expert


Learn more about your niche. Many among the competition commonly tends to feed the readers throughout the Internet with all those basic stuffs. By knowing more about the subject, you'll be able to delve deeper and give more promising insights on your blog posts. It's the details that makes contents more juicy for the readers.


Take Your Time


As pointed out earlier, you should not be substituting quality with quantity. If you have nothing good to write, take time to let those creative juices simmer. By rushing yourself, you'll most probably end up writing about the generics like what most blogs have been posting.


There are still a whole lot more ways to make your blog contents unique. Think it through, I'm sure you'll be able to come up of more.
