7 Ways to Fascinate Your Readers and Build a Hugely Loyal Following | Just Story It | Scoop.it
Are you spellbinding?
Let’s be honest.
It’s a huuuuge challenge.
Probably the biggest challenge each blogger faces.
Karen Dietz's insight:

What an interesting article this is for anyone in business!


As I read it, I could see that the triggers to fascination that they list are also emotions that are often part of business stories. So this is a twist on common articles that talk about emotional connection in marketing.


So which of the 7 psychological triggers to fascination do you gravitate toward? And which ones end up in your biz stories?

Make your idea stick

Short explanation of Chip & Dan Heath's brilliant book 'Made to Stick' - Why some ideas take hold and others come unstuck. With the funny and sticky example by

Via Baiba Svenca
Karen Dietz's insight:

I rescooped this from fellow curator Baiba Svenca even though I have curated the original video before. 


I did so because in this SlideShare presentation, it examines WHY this funny video -- Dumb Ways To Die -- really sticks. It's based on the Heath brother's book "Made To Stick."


The presentation was put together by Orsolya Nemes in Budapest, Hungry, who is a consultant / trainer.


It's a fabulous primer about how to craft your stories (and other material) so people remember it and repeat it via word-of-mouth marketing. The video is less a story, but it embodies many devices we use in storytelling to make our work memorable and repeatable. You will want to take note of these elements.


That's a good thing! So have fun watching the video (it is one of my favorites) and go through the slide presentation to understand why it works so well.

Great, if a bit long video included, but presentation is definitely worth a read.
