Seriously! You may not realize it yet, but your blog could be so much better if you only knew the definition of these three words. Did you want me to tell you what they are?<\/p>\n<h3>Productivity<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019re probably thinking that productivity is a\u00a0<em>good<\/em>\u00a0thing. Well, yes and no. You see, many bloggers aren\u2019t using this word properly. The word productivity means\u00a0<strong>the state of being\u00a0<a title=\"Definition for productive\" href=\"http:\/\/ninjawords.com\/productive\">productive<\/a><\/strong>. That is,\u00a0<strong>you have to actually\u00a0<em>produce<\/em>something to be productive.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Do you have Google Wave? So what? I wrote five posts across four separate blogs today. Which one of us is more productive now?<\/p>\n<p>You can have the most advanced system on the planet for outlining, managing blogs, getting designs done, automatically submitting this to that, but\u00a0<strong>if you don\u2019t\u00a0<em>make<\/em>\u00a0anything, you\u2019re not productive.<\/strong>\u00a0So start figuring out how to use your tools to actually produce things for other people and make some cash.<\/p>\n<h3>Unique<\/h3>\n<p>The word unique is probably my favorite online four-letter-word. Here are a few things that you should realize right now:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>99.9% of blogs are not unique.<\/li>\n<li>99.9% of content on those blogs is not unique.<\/li>\n<li>You cannot \u201cauto-generate\u201d unique content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Unique, by it\u2019s definition, is almost impossible to achieve. Unique means\u00a0<strong>Being the only one of its\u00a0<a title=\"Definition for kind\" href=\"http:\/\/ninjawords.com\/kind\">kind<\/a>;\u00a0<a title=\"Definition for unequaled\" href=\"http:\/\/ninjawords.com\/unequaled\">unequaled<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"Definition for unparalleled\" href=\"http:\/\/ninjawords.com\/unparalleled\">unparalleled<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<strong>or\u00a0<a title=\"Definition for unmatched\" href=\"http:\/\/ninjawords.com\/unmatched\">unmatched<\/a>.<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Is your content\u00a0<em>unparalleled?<\/em>\u00a0The sad truth is that the word \u201cunique\u201d is really just a buzz word at this point if we take it at dictionary definition.<\/p>\n<p>However, there is a way you can be unique.\u00a0<strong>It\u2019s called having a personality<\/strong>. Your content is unique when you express it in your own personal style and put a new spin on it. Consider Apple. MP3 players existed before Apple, but they created a unique software and interface for handling the music files.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Authority also makes you unique<\/strong>. Darren Rowse is unique in being known as \u201cthe\u201d problogger just as Seth Godin is unique in his \u201cpurple cow\u201d idea. If you don\u2019t have the idea first, who cares? Step out of the box and show people how it\u2019s done. Let your personality fuel your authority and achieve that recognition.<\/p>\n<h3>Killer<\/h3>\n<p>If I died tomorrow, this would be my legacy. The word killer is literally\u00a0<em>killing<\/em>\u00a0your blog. Why? Because\u00a0<strong>the word killer is\u00a0<em>NOT\u00a0<\/em>an adjective!<\/strong>\u00a0The word killer is a noun. It means someone who kills.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if you want a word that explains how your content is so amazing it blows away the competition, I\u2019ve compiled a list of\u00a050 appropriate replacements for the word killer.<\/p>\n<p>So what do you say, internet? Can we please stop making up words? That includes you, creatives. Find a noun to describe yourselves, would you!?<\/p>\n<h2>What Do You Think?<\/h2>\n<p>Are there other words that are killing your blog? What do you think about these words?
