How many times have you read the same list of, “10 Signs
You’re in Love, For Real” from different websites? Or how about, “15 Ways a
Friendship Changes When You Live Together”? There’s repetition of content all
over the Internet. While plagiarism is a problem, it’s hard to not write about an idea that SOMEONE
else in the world has already thought about and shared.
Write from YOU point of view.
Every person delivers and receives information differently. Content
can be delivered with humor, intellect, sarcasm or any other extreme adjective.
Don’t hesitate to share information you’ve heard or read
somewhere else, just make sure to add to it, include your own personal
references, experiences and reactions.
How do you speak to others in person? Write that way! Are
you the class (err office) clown? Add some humor to the content. Do you imagine
images when you describe things? Add complementary graphics and photos. Do you
tend to talk like a sailor? Add your own unique and colorful language to make
that $h!t YOURS!
We follow an online community that gives design advice: goodfuckingdesignadvice.com
There are a ton of sites with design advice, but they found
a way to do it differently.
You’re different. You’re YOU. Share information from the YOU
point of view.
