By Sunaina Agarwal / 07 Nov, 2020
Wondering how not to sound boring for a really boring topic?A real challenge for manyonline writers and bloggers, with millions of articles surfacing every day it is a real challenge to keep every article interesting. Writers are often are stuck with topics that are out of their interest area and they end up making it boring for readers too.
Online readers are a batch of the most impatient audience you will get. As soon as you break the connection with the reader in your writing, they will just switch to another blog.
As a writer, I must confess that there are topics for which I am really excited about and then there are topics that I keep on postponing because I feel it’s boring. But with time I found out that no topic is boring it’s actually the writing tone that makes it boring for the readers.
If you are also stuck with such boring and monotonous topics, here are some amazing tips you to make it the most loved blog on the website:
1. Research about the Topic
Sometimes the lack of knowledge in a subject or area makes the topic boring. Until and unless you have amazing points for readers to surprise them, you will end up writing a bland and dull blog on it.
My tip to you is to do extensive research on such topics and find out out-of-the-box points for your content. Readers don’t like to read the same repeated things again and again. If you come out with something new then a boring topic becomes a hit too.
2. Connect with your Readers
Often while writing we break the flow and lose our connection with the readers. Whenever readers feel left out they won’t continue to read more. Find out ways to establish bonds with your readers throughout the end of the blog. Make them participate in your topic. Ask them their opinions at the end through comments. You can also use rhetorical questions in your content style to engage your audience.
3. Show them a story that everyone can relate
As a writer, you need to be both smart and witty. You must paint your canvas with content in a way that everyone can connect and correlate to the bigger picture of the topic. State examples or make up a story to attract your readers. Often examples and stories from everyday life interests readers as they want to know more about it. Those who have been in the same situation find themselves emotionally connected with your blog.
4. Add a personal touch
Be it any topic, you can always add a personal touch to it. Writers must always avoid sounding robotic, dull, and plain. Your tone and style should be engaging. A personal touch to the topic makes the blog lively and humane.
5. Add infographics
The visual presentation is a really important part of any blog. Take an example of an advertisement from Dominos or KFC. Have you ever paid attention to how visually tasty and mouth-savoring content they present for their food items? Those advertisements always make us crave for the food.
Thus, that should be the aim of writers too. You must make your readers enjoy and crave for your next blog. Content is not everything that constitutes a blog. including infographics too is a great way to make the blog visually appealing. Adding a relevant image can speak volumes.
There is nothing called a perfect blog in this world. But we can surely make the boring topics interesting by following these tips constantly.
