  • πŸ‘€ 5 tips on how to make your posts exceptionally interesting to read

    In yesterday's discussion, Priyanka Saini asked this question. πŸ’‘ And these 5 things came to my mind: 1) Attention-grabbing title 2) Short text (paragraphs with 2 or 3 lines) 3) Subtle use of emojis 4) Incorporating visual materials (images, videos) 5) Playing with text (rhetorical questions, inventing your own words) What else makes the post interesting?

    I would add as a starting points that posts should be interesting for your specific audience and before writing you should know your audience, their pains and gains and build your content strategy from there. It's makes so much easier to generate content when you know your readers, watchers and listeners.

    @natalia_cebotari_osmos @busmark_w_nika This!!! To add on, I'd say it's perfectly acceptable to have a target audience you tailor your content to. Some people want their message to reach everyone, even if it isn't necessarily *for* everyone. But in doing so, their message becomes so broad that what they're trying to convey gets lost in a sea of vagueness and reaches no one.

    In addition to the elements you’ve listed, making a post interesting can also involve engaging storytelling, interactive elements like polls or quizzes, valuable insights such as useful tips or expert advice, and personalization to connect more deeply with your audience.

    Here are five tips to make your posts exceptionally interesting to read: 1. Start with a Hook: Capture attention with a compelling opening sentence or question. A strong hook encourages readers to continue. 2. Tell a Story: Weave your information into a narrative. Stories engage readers and make your content more relatable and memorable. 3. Use Engaging Visuals: Incorporate images, infographics, or videos to break up text and add visual interest. Visuals can also help illustrate key points https://gowelllive.com/. 4. Keep it Concise and Clear: Use short paragraphs and clear language. Avoid jargon and complex sentences to ensure your message is easy to understand. 5. Include Interactive Elements: Add polls, questions, or calls-to-action to encourage reader interaction and make your post more engaging.

    Definitely. Also make it less obvious that it was Chat GPT generated.

    Thanks for bringing up this topic πŸ™‚ You mentioned a list of good ideas. From my side, I'd like to highlight another essential factor that should be considered first: the goal (or value) of a post. What impact should it have on the reader? What emotions or actions do you want to evoke during or after they read the post? By considering a clear goal for your future post, you can then easily prepare the rest of the content based on your list and make your post more relevant and interesting to your audience πŸš€

    Another idea that came to my mind is to use cognitive biases. This is very powerful in some cases, of course, if you use them ethically. For example, the framing effect. What do you think generally about cognitive biases in marketing?

    Adding a personal touch, engaging storytelling, and including interactive elements like polls or questions can also make your posts incredibly captivating.

    Yea this 5 tips are very useful. I would add, if you like me are posting the most on X. To have a premium subscription if you are serious with that. It’s the only way to write also long articles and not split avery 3 lines.
