There are millions of blogs on the internet. If your blog is just like any other blogs out there, the chances are, no one’s going to read it, much less subscribe to it. So, how can you differentiate your blog then?

1. Voice – Your style of writing makes the difference between interesting read or uninteresting. Manolo the shoe blogger is the blogger was the first blogger I remember reading with a really unique voice (he writes in the third person). I’m not saying all style of writing is acceptable, but those that do will make your blog more memorable. Take Copyblogger for example.

2. Design – It should come as no surprise that a unique blog design can help differentiate yourself that other blogs in your niche. Besides logo, the color of your blog can also help create a unique experience to your visitors. I recommend having only 2-4 different colors for your blog design.

3. Being first – not easy to do but if you can be one of the first blogs in a niche it can help you stand out. ProBlogger would be a great example of this – at the time, no one else was blogging about making a living from blogs.

4. Your Blogs Name – Sometimes it is just the name of a blog that makes it stand out whether it be by being confronting, funny or otherwise. A good blog name should be memorable, in any case.

5. Give your opinion – Don’t just state the fact. Be sure to share your opinion as well. I recommend to always include your personal thoughts whenever applicable. Your readers want to know your opinion, believe it or not.

6. Connectors – other bloggers are successful because they are so well connected in their niche. They not only know a lot of people but they have a gift in helping others to connect with those in their network.

7. Expertise – Some bloggers rise to the top of their fields because they are simply authoritative and have real expertise in their field. They are well read, have extensive experience and have forgotten more about their topic than most of us will ever know about it.

8. Personal – as you read some blogs you sometimes get a spooky feeling that its almost like the blogger is there in the room with you. They blog in a way where you can almost hear their voice and feel as though you’re in a conversation with them. They share on a level that goes beyond just the transference of information – they share of themselves.
