58. sound different:

Try to adopt something that becomes unique about you and your blog. People are already getting so much of the content on the big websites with big business ratings on the internet, then where and how will you run your industry with the same typical ingredients? You definitely need to introduce an X-factor to your readers, gaining their confidence.

 

59. Cherish the Top Ones,  get cherished too!

Use the policy and manipulate the principle of “give respect- get respect” slightly, Interview many Top people in your niche, some of them can be your biggest competitors in the market, but by doing so, you are actually getting popularity too. Make it a practice.

62. Show your followers the other side:

It’s a natural practice that when something becomes a hot talk topic, almost every blog starts to promote the news. These news are somehow of the same type. Try to represent the latest issues with a different perception, for example, Take a look at a celebrity that has a lot of fans and write a post on why he is not supposed to have any fan.

This is something I have witnessed very often on several blogs. The authors address the world as if they are family members, forgetting the real nature of relation. i.e. they are the business clients. Using words like “oh yea”, “hmm”, “yes dude”. Etc. is not a professional and creative approach. People have plenty of friends already and they don’t want unnecessarily funny and over articles to be a source to waste their time on. Many people won’t link to unprofessional articles.
