Without telling some kind of story, there\u2019s no way to get people excited about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/create-viral-content\/\">content you have to share<\/a>. Many times, however, <strong>people will lose interest in a story for a variety of reasons<\/strong>, which we\u2019re going to cover in today\u2019s post.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where, exactly, do you lose a user\u2019s interest when telling a story?<\/strong> What are the key ideas that must be utilized when you\u2019re attempting to convey a key set of ideas? Let\u2019s look at the <strong>elements of a good, shareable story<\/strong>, and what goes into creating content that sticks in people\u2019s minds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"note\"><strong>Recommended Reading: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/emotion-through-storytelling\/\">How Telling Stories Can Nail You More Clients<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Be like a politician<\/h2>\n<p>A story is like a marketing meta message from your client to your users. Think of a story like a democratic government, and your users as the voters. You, the designer, the political campaign machine \u2014 you develop key <strong>storytelling elements that excite and compel people<\/strong>, and get them fired up.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/tell-stories-others-want-to-share\/Be-Like-A-Politician.jpg\" alt=\"be like politician\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\"><\/figure>\n<p>If they vote to share your content, then your campaign is a winner. If not, then it\u2019 back to the drawing board.<\/p>\n<h2>Go back to the story<\/h2>\n<p>If you ever observe politicians running for office, you may start to notice something very peculiar: no matter what question they\u2019re actually asked, they will always <strong>make a point of coming back around to their prepared \u201ctalking points\u201d<\/strong>, or a specific set of topics that they wish to stress to voters.<\/p>\n<p>People often express frustration with politicians for <strong>evading the question being asked,<\/strong> but part of <strong>the goal of politics is to shape public opinion<\/strong> in the <strong>direction the politician wants it to go<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You can do something similar (though not nearly as slimy and manipulative) with your own storytelling to make sure people get the main message. Crafting a list of key points that you absolutely want to convey no matter what will help you <strong>stick to only those ideas that get people the most excited<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Look for commonalities<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s said that we humans are all far more alike than we are different. There\u2019s no better example of this right now than the fascinating website, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humansofnewyork.com\">Humans of New York<\/a>. Photographer Brandon Stanton finds people from all walks of life, and interviews them to draw out their unique, individual stories, which he then posts an excerpt from beneath their photograph.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/tell-stories-others-want-to-share\/Look-For-Commonalities.jpg\" alt=\"look for commonalities\" width=\"1000\" height=\"678\"><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s a brilliant example of the universality of storytelling in action, and the fact that Stanton\u2019s book of the same name went straight to the top of the New York Times Bestseller list reinforces the idea that people are <strong>looking for common experiences with their fellow humans<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The very best storytellers <strong>find common joys, fears, complaints, and truths that bring people together<\/strong> and tell the story of how they can overcome their trials and succeed in accomplishing their goals. Pick things that everyone can relate to, universal ideas that people will always want to share with others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"note\"><strong>Read Also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/viral-wedding-proposals\/\">5 (Genuine) Wedding Proposal Videos You Have To Watch<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Use the right emotions<\/h2>\n<p>The fact that we have common emotions in storytelling is all well and good, but what if you want to cut to the chase, so to speak, and <strong>get people to really share what you create<\/strong>, enough so that it goes \u201cviral\u201d and puts you, the storyteller, in the spotlight?<\/p>\n<p class=\"note\"><strong>Read Also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/create-viral-content\/\">Top Tips & Resources To Creating Content People Want To Share<\/a><\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/tell-stories-others-want-to-share\/Use-The-Right-Emotions.jpg\" alt=\"use the right emotions\" width=\"1000\" height=\"590\"><\/figure>\n<p>Nostalgia, frustration, anxiety, pride, surprise, amusement, and controversy are excellent storytelling emotions that make people want to share. Peace and contentment, on the other hand, are terrible for storytelling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nobody wants to share a story in which there is no conflict.<\/strong> Think about the last work of fiction you read. Did the protagonists simply float through the book with no conflict whatsoever, and then live happily ever after? Probably not.<\/p>\n<p>Even nonfiction <strong>must contain some type of conflict<\/strong> within the story it\u2019s trying to tell the reader.<\/p>\n<h2>Cut the fluff<\/h2>\n<p>Storytelling is very much like design. The more efficient and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/clean-simple-minimalist-website-design\/\">minimalistic<\/a> it is, the <strong>better and more elegant<\/strong> a solution you will end up with. Each element must earn its way into your story. If it\u2019s not serving any purpose, cut it out. Create easily <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/simple-writing-tips\/\">digestible content<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This is a reason infographics are so popular these days. It\u2019s a great way to <strong>amuse and inform people<\/strong>, and tell a story at the same time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"note\"><strong>Read Also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/interesting-infographics\/\">25 Interesting Infographics For Your Inspiration<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another efficiently simple storytelling medium is joke-telling. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/40-funny-error-messages-youve-never-seen-before\/\">best jokes<\/a> are the ones with the <strong>least amount of setup<\/strong> and the <strong>most \u201cpunch\u201d in the punchline<\/strong>. These types of jokes have been refined through numerous tellings, and all the current teller has to do is not mess it up (there is an art to telling a joke properly, after all).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The more you decide you don\u2019t need to tell<\/strong> your story, the faster your audience will get the essence of what you\u2019re saying, and the easier they\u2019ll find it to share with others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"note\"><strong>Read Also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/logo-parodies\/\">30 Clever Logo Parodies Of Famous Brands<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Images matter!<\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s where you really get to shine as a designer. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/viral-web-videos-characteristics\/\">Viral storytelling<\/a> is so much more effective when there are <strong>images involved<\/strong>. Again, infographics are a perfect example. If people don\u2019t have time to read a long, complex story, a compelling, well-designed image is the next best thing.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/tell-stories-others-want-to-share\/Images-Matter.jpg\" alt=\"images matter\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\"><\/figure>\n<p>And a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/short-promotional-video\/\">short, easily digestible video<\/a> is even better, provided you post it in the appropriate places. What do I mean by that? It\u2019s important to <strong>respect the digital medium<\/strong> you\u2019re using, and tell your story in the way that the majority of people on the site want to hear it told.<\/p>\n<h2>Be mindful of where you share<\/h2>\n<p>People go on specific social networks for different reasons. This idea is outlined very well in Gary Vaynerchuk\u2019s book, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/\/Jab-Right-Hook-Story-Social\/dp\/006227306X\">Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook<\/a><\/em>.
