3 Ways to Stand Out as a Blogger

When you are trying to build a blog that you hope will become a source of income for you, it can become frustrating when you are trying to stand out from the rest of the blogging world. 

You may even begin to doubt yourself and wonder why readers would even want to bookmark your blog in the first place! Why especially, when there are thousands of bloggers who are already at the top of their game! 

That why happens to be you! You are unique, so why wouldn't your blog be? You are the only one who can capture your readers by giving them the chance to know you. Trust me, they want to know you. Your readers want to relate, they want to feel as if you are a part of their lives in some way. 

And to fulfill your readers' wishes you must: 

Become an Expert - Whatever topic you choose to write about, excel in it. Go above and beyond what your readers do not already know. Give your readers a reason why they should listen to you. 

Have an Appealing Blog - Standing out as a blogger does not mean turning your blog into a blingy, princess glittery eyesore! If your blog is all over the place, chances are your readers will become discouraged and choose not to come back. 

If you want loyal readers you have to create a blog that is as visually appealing in design as it is in knowledge. 

Tell Your Story - Everyone loves a great story. Tell your own. Even if you don't have an interesting life, there is always a story to tell. Perhaps you have a close family member's story (with permission) to tell? Or maybe now is the time to talk about how your blog came to life. 

Stories are a great way to stand out from the crowd, especially when that story is as unique as you in every way.
