Your Blog is Boring The Hell Out Of Me
How many times can you write about a single topic, before it gets boring, old, and overly cliche? Nobody wants to read common drivel, bland topics, and regurgitated blog mush. Blogs used to be a haven of originality, a place where one could escape from mainstream nonsense that had little effect on our daily lives.
Two things:
1- I’m a supporter of people who are ready to engage, those who put the first foot forward in adding value, these people I love sincerely, but just because they’re good people doesn’t mean their blogs are good blogs. It’s becoming more difficult to engage in these empty communities the owners themselves don’t seem to care about.
2- I’ve decided to run from the path of an ordinarily boring blog, and hightail it in the direction that defines who I really am. Who would of thought, all work and no play really does make you dull.
In an unavailing attempt to protect our personal brands (my assumption) we often run along the side of sterile, clean and disinfected posts that don’t move, twist, or bend our readers. If you’re wildly creative, spontaneous, and daring, I’m telling you to bring it! Don’t be afraid to show people what you’re made of.
Always in moderation though(think of that overly drunk person at social events). We don’t have to know every bit information that details your personal life, but give us a glimpse of your personality. Let us connect with you in some way, and show it through your writing, and if you’re having a difficult time doing that, think video blogging.
3 Ways To Get Your Groove Back on Your Personal Blog
If it’s boring to you stop writing.
Yes, I am guilty of writing just to write. When you’re committed to putting out a post a certain amount of times a week it can become more of a job then an activity that was initially supposed to be fun. Before writing your post get yourself pumped listening to a high energy song, drop and do 10 pushups, or maybe just give yourself a light smack to the face. I’ve personally tested all 3, option 3 definitely hurts the most. Read the opening sentence to your post and if it doesn’t instantly hook you in, it’s a prediction of more fruitless things to come.
Pick a high energy time to write.
Do you write blog posts at 1 – 2 am in the morning? Some people are born night owls, and can stay up pretty late and function effectively. I’m sort of a night owl myself but I find my creativity peaks in the late afternoon, and after 9 pm my analytical sides seems more dominant. Find the time when your creativity is at it’s highest point, and schedule that time for writing.
If it doesn’t drive you in any direction after you’re done reading it, re write it.
People react to emotion (expert observation). Every post you put out should cause your readers to feel something, i.e, empowered, angry, inspired, motivated, entertained, thrilled, terrified, you get the point.
Sometimes we forget to carry the emotion into the post, and that’s when our writing causes people to question if they’ve just wasted 5 minutes of their lives reading our blog. Start your posts and any of the supporting paragraphs with the emotion you want to convey. When you’re done of course you’ll delete it, but if you’re a blogger who easily gets sidetracked this can be a really cool tip to keep you focused.
Final Thought: I leave you with this, there are hundreds of millions of blogs out there, why should we read yours?
I’m sure there’s a lot more that can be added to this list. So go ahead, and if you want me to read your blog and give it my interesting content test go ahead and send me a DM on Facebook. I will not lie
