What is that ONE thing that you went through or learnt in life that you’d like to share with the world?
5 basic elements to add a zing to YOUR story…
- What is it in your story, that can help the audience learn? In what parts of your audience’s lives, will the story impact? Why should they listen to you?
- Add metaphors, analogies or description in terms of visuals, dialogues and emotions in your story, for it to be sticky and viral.
- Give your audience some task to do post reading your story : Self reflection or Questions to others, Think in a different perspective etc.
- Write your story with a very neutral, fact based and non judgmental tone. You have a bright chance to lose out attention and credibility owing to generalizations and assumptions.
- Avoid being the HERO of your story… that reduces credibility. Make the reader THE HERO.
