? Want to know my secret for creating STORY-BASED content that SELLS?⁠⁠

If you've read my emails or any of my social captions, you know that I absolutely love to use storytelling in my messaging. It's incredibly important because many people think that good marketing is purely educational. However, by telling a compelling story and making your audience feel seen and understood, you can achieve great results without ever having to make an explicit offer or pitch.

The key to effective storytelling in marketing is to find inspiration in everyday life. I have a note on my phone where I jot down every interesting event that happens to me. Whether it's an amusing comment from a five-year-old in the grocery store line or an embarrassing mistake like sending a text to the wrong person, I make sure to capture it.

When I'm ready to tell a story, I pull from this collection. I aim to write in a conversational tone as if I'm speaking to a friend. I make it relatable and personal. Then I smoothly transition to the main point I'm trying to convey in my message.

Although it does take time to become proficient at storytelling, I promise that the more you practice, the easier it will get.
