Comments on: Dude, Tell Me Something I Don’t Know! http://www.dailyblogtips.com/dude-tell-me-something-i-dont-know/ Sat, 20 Mar 2010 20:27:42 -0500 hourly 1 By: Jeff Sabo http://www.dailyblogtips.com/dude-tell-me-something-i-dont-know/comment-page-1/#comment-1036738 Jeff Sabo Mon, 07 Dec 2009 18:12:51 +0000 http://www.dailyblogtips.com/?p=5004#comment-1036738 I agree with you on this point quite a bit. I currently write a sports blog and try and offer different opinions and topics so that the information is not all the same. I like talking about different sports teams, players and events so that I am offering different viewpoints and ideas on a daily basis. Another reason I focus in on different sports stories is because one of the teams I like to talk about is having a terrible season this year. It's pretty obvious this team I like talking about is lousy and I know if I consistently talk about how bad the season is, the reader will sit there and think I am being Captain Obvious. Sometimes adding in analysis, a twist on a story, or some historical facts can make the information sounds more original. Sometimes I will throw in a story of how my buddies used to kid me for being a fan of this particular team to add some humor. I agree with you on this point quite a bit.

I know many people in real life that just can talk and talk and repeat the same thing. It's hard, especially if you really respect them to say 'hey tell me something I don't know!' I sort of just use body language to indicate that I'm listening but I'm not all that interested and you should get to the point and stop now :) I'm also guilty of probably regurgitating the same info, even in the same post but it's usually to re-instantiate an important point I'm trying to make.

There's so many copies of anything out there and it's tiring for a reader to keep getting the same stuff, over and over and over again. I think the best way to stand out is to try and use our writing style to say the same thing but in a different way, add passion for the subject and maybe an anecdote or two? We can also go further, look for more information to offer, dig deeper when it comes to research, and have our finger on the pulse when it comes to getting and offering the latest news in our niche.
