There have been many times where we had to look at the content for an industry that would be considered “un-engaging” and we had to try to make this content engaging. This is a very difficult thing to do but is possible
In this blog post, we will provide you with tips on how to make your content as engaging as possible.
- Change your state of mind
This is, of course, the first tip we should provide. Your state of mind should be that there is no such thing as a boring industry.
Items such as mouse traps, nuts, and bolts, shovels. Things like that are interesting to people. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a lot of jobs, and even an industry in this.

Of course, you need to be helpful to your audience as well. Even industry as boring as toilets can be helpful. You just need to ask the right questions and look in the right places to provide the right answers. Look at places like Quora, Reddit, other forums. Offline you can also ask people what they want to know about your topics.
For example for toilets, you can ask questions like:
- What did we do before the toilet?

- How can you best clean a toilet?
These topics can help people and provide useful information!
