Selling with Stories – A true superpower for online content writers and copywriters.

telling a good story

What’s the fastest way to engage your audience and touch them emotionally?

Tell them a good story!

Our memories and experiences in life are built on stories.

Listen to a family conversation, or friends talking at a bar or in a coffee shop, and you’ll likely hear someone sharing a story.

“Do you remember the time when…”

“Did you hear about…”

You know the kind of thing. We all have stories we like to share.

And we have a ton of stories to draw from. Because most of our memories are stored in the form of stories.

Nobody remembers facts or lists. But we all remember stories.

This is why stories can be such a powerful force in marketing.

And sharing stories is the perfect way to open a conversation, even with strangers.

More on the power of stories in a moment. But first…

People make purchase decisions with their hearts, not their heads.

People like to think their purchase choices are rational. Well thought through.

But that’s rarely the case.

Most of the time our purchase decisions are driven by emotions.

And that’s why selling with stories is so powerful.

Because while a list of “good reasons to buy” simply reaches the rational brain, a good story touches people’s hearts, and pulls the emotional triggers that result in a purchase.

This is why storytelling is a skillset that is essential to anyone trying to sell online.

Doesn’t matter whether you’re selling a product or service. Could be a business to business purchase, or a business to consumer purchase.

It’s stories to the rescue every time!

“I’ve learned and enjoyed listening at the same time. I studied case studies – but this program takes content with stories to another level – an exciting marketing strategy. And taught as only Nick can teach.” Judith B.

Selling with stories is also an essential skill set for anyone working in the Web 3 space. Backstory and lore are key components for many Web 3 projects. It’s all about story!

“Really enjoyed this course …. Came away with a better understanding of how important stories are in writing web content for myself as well as for my clients. A great jumping off point for tackling a blank page.” Teresa Barretta

Stories are also a great way to create value beyond what any AI platform can deliver.

If you worry that tools like GPT-4 are becoming a little too good at writing copy and content, you’ll be pleased to hear they’re really bad at telling stories.

Stories are rich with emotions and empathy… two things AI systems really struggle with.
