The Digital Charisma - страница 6

Texts should never resemble mere templates created by others. I maintain a skepticism towards conventional copywriting, particularly trends like “social media copywriting.” In my writing courses, I implore my students not to diminish the value of my extensive knowledge and experience by resorting to universally applied methods. Can you envision the kind of audience you’ll attract by employing the same tired tactics as countless others online? You risk blending into a sea of bloggers—anonymous, lacking in distinctiveness.

In truth, the topic of copywriting became obsolete long before its emergence. Now, with the advent of neurocopywriting and other buzzwords, we encounter concepts that are inherently flawed and already played out. What is neurocopywriting, after all? It is said to influence the brain through text. Yet, remember that any piece crafted by a skilled author has the power to touch the mind and heart. Reflect on your favorite childhood tales, perhaps the enchanting world of Harry Potter. You’ve journeyed through life alongside the characters from your beloved books long before the term “copywriting” ever existed.

Why introduce this perspective? Up to a threshold of 5,000 subscribers, traditional techniques like copywriting, content plans, and template-driven approaches may yield results. However, if we aspire to create something genuinely new—authentically our own—we must write from the heart. I believe that the ability to write is a natural gift, part of our essence since birth. Just as we engage in spoken conversation with ease, we can likewise articulate our thoughts in writing. When we speak, we don’t deliberate over the mechanics; writing shouldn’t be any different.

Before you put pen to paper—or fingers to keyboard—ask yourself the right questions. You don’t need to scrutinize each piece rigorously. The insights you gain will naturally enrich your writing, leading to results that surpass your previous efforts. Suppose you’ve drafted a post; before hitting ‘publish,’ pose a series of reflective questions to evaluate your text:

– Do you genuinely like what you’ve written?

– Would you recommend this text to friends or colleagues?

– Does your writing convey a lightness, like a feather, feeling graceful and inviting?

By embracing these principles, you can create charismatic texts that resonate with your audience and elevate your unique voice in the landscape of social media.

Here, based on my observations, I see people divided into two distinct categories: those who love their texts (that’s me!) and are eager to share and repost them, and those who declare, “I will never show my texts to anyone.” When I ask, “How can you not share these with anyone when you’re posting on social media?” they respond, “I have no friends here; these are just other people.” Do you see? They don’t even view their followers as friends, as part of their community or team!

Can your words truly impact others?

Can your text create meaningful change in someone’s life?

I’m not referring to grand transformations; rather, I’m talking about those fleeting changes in mood. Imagine someone feeling down who reads your text; they smile, and their spirit brightens. This momentary shift is something the subconscious registers profoundly. The reader may not fully understand why their mood has changed, but they will subconsciously develop an affection for your blog. This phenomenon explains our love for comedic films; we laugh and don’t necessarily connect our joy solely to the film itself—rather, we associate it with the genre of laughter. The cleaner, the more informative, and the more subtly humorous our blogs are, the easier it becomes for us to engage our audience and guide them to become followers.
