This Is How To Be Different [EASILY]

You may have noticed a couple things about this post that already stood out among others. What stood out to you? The title? Picture? WHAT?

Some things I have already learned with my short time at Wealthy Affiliate is being different is actually a huge boost to traffic. This is how to be different and it might seem subtle but it works.

Simplicity Is Extravagant

Examing your competitors in whatever niche you are in is the greatest way to find out how to be different. Most pages are so similar that there is almost nothing different. The easiest way to change that up is by choosing something that isn't like them.

Here are a couple of things to look for when checking out your competition:

1. Photos
2. Title
3. Writing
4. Intent
5. Length
   
6. Unique style
   
7. Etc, ANYTHING

-Tips For YA'LL-

Photo:

One thing is the photo. Very simple, yet enough to be luring. Most pictures on the internet are bright and flashy which people often love, BUT... isn't entirely different. You can be different just by picking something that is attractive to YOU and compare it to what is popular. Test out your pages and see how much traffic is coming to that individual page. Something is either working or screwing you over and it can be as simple as a single photo.

Title:

The title as I have grown to learn is exceptional in its ability to attract. It can be as simple as adding [brackets] to a single word or punctuation that EXCITES! Sometimes it takes some learning on how to use this properly but it's easier than you think.

Writing:

The way you right can have a huge effect on whether someone is interested in you and your product. Commas are so helpful. Different lengths of your sentences keep people engaged, wanting more, and helps overall to keep a fluent read. The way I write isn't exactly traditional. I do as I see fit, where I see fit. Of course this will change for you but is helpful to keep people entertained, in a way.

Intention-

YOU need this ability. It is important that you understand how much POWER it can give you. All the perks of just being persuasive is enough to make anyone want more, and everyone needs more. So why do you NEED to have intent when writing? Although your INTENTION should be first to help others you also want to make money doing it. Tell people why it is so important to learn of this product, make them feel powerful, ensure that they know every perk it will provide them, and you will win them over. (My intention was for this to be noticeable, yet subtle, with purpose).

Length:

To be honest writing 1,500 words minimum is harder than I thought it would be. Research helps a lot, viewing popular pages in my niche helps me more, and a guide line/plan helps the most. Know where to start, where to end, and what to add when finished.

Unique Style:

I'm just going to layout a couple things that can be more unique than others.

• The difference between colons, (:) and (:), so simple yet more noticeable. One is just bold.
• A change between (:) and (-) between my tips makes one thing stand out more. INTENTION.
• Using words to EMPHASIS meaning. Use words to your advantage by using them literally.
• Making your message noticeable. This can be as simple as being bold, underlining, italics, (parenthesis), literally...anything!
• Adding unique characters to your headings can even boost your style.
• Change up the way your paragraphs are displayed. Not everything has to be aligned right.

Extra Toppings

If you are sharing your posts on social media then know when people are the most active. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are the best days to post. The perfect time to do this is around 3 pm. Of course this may change but is a helpful tip for sharing.

Be personal. Get people to really think that you are a genuine person that knows their stuff. You can't just say hey buy this because I like it. What personally makes this the best and why should I buy it over this cheaper option? You gotta dig into how people work so asking questions and being personal is a great way for people to know this is legit.

In the end, be yourself. Not everyone is going to come to you but you keep on being yourself and people will accept you.
