Let me guess…
You feel miserable each time there’s no sufficient traffic on your post or a ridiculous amount of views on your videos.
You ask yourself if anyone has ever been interested in what you’re publishing.
If this keeps up, your work will never emerge from the noise of the internet, and your hard efforts will be lost forever as if you’ve never created any valuable piece of content.
How to find better ways to write content that attracts users, you asked. What could bring you new audiences and stick them with your content forever?
The Secret Liaison Between Content and Storytelling
You know it: in every culture, people have always used stories to influence people and masses.
Leaders, elders, community guides usually master the art of storytelling, and today famous brands and influencers know at most how to tell their stories.
Once you agree that content aims to influence and to convert, you’ll have to find the best approach that connects you with your audience.
At first glance, storytelling may seem to have only a role of entertainment. However, it’s also education.
Granted, we immerse ourselves in a novel or a movie to have a good time. However, we also live protagonists’ experiences: hero and other characters’ ups and downs are teaching us lessons for our own life.
Thus, simple feedback from a user of a product or a service is an experience sharing. It’s a way of telling his story with a brand that can inspire us as content creators.
The Popular Myth About Storytelling
You think that only extraordinary people can tell or write stories likely to touch many folks. That’s not the case.
Any relevant situation has premises of a good story; any crucible can turn to fabulous content.
You can smartly narrate your personal life or your experiences just as any brand its history.
Sometimes you’re already doing storytelling without knowing it. You only have to improve your technique.
Not all narratives are stories. Storytelling is about a conflict that changes protagonists’ lives and where the user can empathize with characters and take away some insights.
So, find an unusual initial circumstance to nourish your narrative. Then cherish antagonisms, suspense, and tension, the proper ingredients of stories and content.
The Incredible Advantage of Using Storytelling for Your Content
With storytelling, you have the most effective way to communicate with a group of people.
You can shape how they think about themselves or their organization.
Creating a shared vision within a company and boosting motivation are illustrations of good content’s fruitful ability.
It’s a starting point for a long-term relationship with users, clients, and prospects.
Later, you’ll only need to activate emotional touchpoints already known by your content users to sustain engagement with audiences. That’s a surefire path for more influence and more business.
Boost your Content with Captivating Stories
To write your vibrant story, you need some material.
Ideas are available in the world around you, others in the world within you.
Use your five senses to find inspiration. Don’t overestimate the power of your imagination. You can be inspired occasionally, and that’s why you must learn how to make your subconscious an ally.
Skills you’ve acquired in your personal and professional life and relevant researches will be the foundation for providing vital elements like tensions, crises, or climax.
Go through some character functions in stories like the villain, the hero, the princess, and others.
Moreover, harness the power of emotion. As humans, we can feel a wide array of emotions, and you can emulate many great storytellers who exploit them.
