5 Tips On Writing The Same Old Crap
Have you ever felt, that when you write a blog post that you are just writing the same stuff as someone else? That its been written already in the same way some where else?
I am sure you may have done a review or something else that you found and read, and it made you feel like the post you wrote just sucked, or maybe not that bad. But did it diminish the positive feeling you had about this great post?
I am going to give you 5 tips on writing the same old crap. Cause its not really the same old crap. Read over these tips and tell me how you feel about it then.
- As long as you didn’t copy it, then its your style, you wrote it. Don’t look at it in terms of content, but rather how that content is displayed. Its like a painting, it can look like junk if its not put in an attractive looking frame. Same with your post. Build a better frame around the post so to speak.
- Don’t read similar posts after writing your own. You already know the subject matter right? Afterall you wrote about it. If it will make you feel bad don’t read other similar posts.
- Use a catchy title. If you think others have wrote about it already then make a cool title that you will get props for. After all if it is the same content which post about it would you rather choose, all the similar ones or the one with the cool catchy title?
- Don’t try to make it better after its said and done. Let the post be, if people have read it then don’t try to modify it to make it better.
- Everyone every where writes the same crap. Even the best of writers. Then I guess its not really crap then is it? Don’t forget that. Be satisfied with what you come up with and move on.
Moral of the post is, try not to look at it as the same old crap, but rather as better crap than others.

You’re totally right with this one.
I’ve noticed that even some so-called A-list bloggers are recycling/remixing topics and ideas. One of the blogging traits that is hard to copy is writing style and this is where some bloggers excel and others don’t.
The fact is – history is repeating, throughout the history, i.e. constantly. Online, this happens as well, only much faster.
