The legendary David Ogilvy once said, "There are no dull products, only dull writers.” This should also be the case with writing on boring topics.

 

Everything that exists serves a purpose, even if to a select few. Same is the case with products which might appear exciting to some and boring to others.

 

You need to create that curiosity for that product which you find boring. The best way to do so is to find what people who have used the product have written about it.

 

There will be something interesting that you will find. Something you might not have even imagined when you first started to conduct research about that boring product.

Boring is a term used by the people with such perspective, I believe there is nothing like a boring topic, only if the writer didn't do enough research on how to spice it all up. I believe making the topic look more catchy and also including irresistible pictures, proper usage of fonts and also the writer could try to create an avenue for interaction to make the whole article look more catchy to the readers. Proper research would help also.

Boring is a matter of perspective--it may be boring to those who are not inclined to the topic; but interesting to those who are in the field of the topic. If one were to consider writing about a "boring" topic, I will do more research about the topic and write it an an angle that will best relate to the readers.

Your answer is within the question you asked you see a writer, you have to make the topic interesting no matter how boring it seems to others. It is you that should be creating the story. Find relevance to other topics, maybe how does it relate to the reader? Does it add value to their daily lives? how does it work? Etc... find the story and link the dots.. it works!

If there is any topic that seems boring to me, I try to give it my touch -- a way that changes that boring topic to interesting one. Let others admire it. And if I am admired by what others do, then why not my words be one for them.

If you feel boring that is boring, If you think interesting that is interesting. a same topic some people feel that is boring for them some people to do enjoy with that topic. so in my view if you leave to think that is boring topic interest will begin from there. when you are interested on that topic you love to write :)

its a matter of perception. there are no boring topics as such. but to make seeming uninteresting topics engaging you can mention lesser known fact pertaining to the topic to grab the readers attention.

you can adopt an interesting way of writing and topic will aytomatically become interesting

There are no boring topics. There are, however, topics that you may not be as excited about based on what you are interested in. To approach a topic that doesn't excite me, I think about a constant that in writing that I am always excited about, and that is storytelling. I then approach the topic by asking myself key questions related to the topic - what is the backstory of this product/service/situation? What are the important roles? Pros & Cons? What's potentially new and exciting? How can I use what I have discovered to make it exciting so that it reflects in my writing about it? - and so on.
