YOU Point of View


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.
