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 - Having your own style of writing can really help differentiate yourself with other bloggers. A good example would be Brian Clark of Copyblogger. His writing style is short, precise and interesting.
2. Design - Having a unique blog design is perhaps the easiest way to differentiate your blog from others in the same niche. There are many blog design services available for a cheap price. You can either go through search engines or you can get one at Elance.
3. Frequency of Posts - it strikes me that some of the most popular blogs product A LOT of content. Engadget and Gizmodo being two examples. This high frequency of posting makes them prolific and means that if a story is breaking in the gadget space that you'd be certain that they're covering it. On the flip side some blogs take the opposite approach - their new posts become so rare that people value them highly and share them prolifically.
4. A memorable blog name - This is yet another easy way to stand out in your niche. I must however confess, to some degree, a good domain name is no longer easy to come by.
5. Opinion - one of the easiest ways to make your blog is to share your opinion. Your opinions won't always be unique but the combination of them and the way you express yourself will be and will often set yourself apart from other bloggers who just report news.
6. Prolific - Some bloggers are unique because well they're everywhere. These bloggers seem to have the ability to be in more than one place at a time - they blog, they're active on multipole social networks, they are at conferences, they are guest posting on other blogs, they're in forums. they are everywhere!
7. Expertise - Assuming you have authority in a given field, your blog can rise to the top of the field easily, because people are more willing to read and trust the content of your blog. A good way to showcase your expertise is through providing extensive details in your articles, beyond what others would normally provide.
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.
