How To Tell Stories Effectively...

I know you are interested to apply the skills to tell a good story. So, here you are:

1. You need to know what you want to achieve from your stories. There must be a purpose to tell a story either to enroll people into your list or to sell a product. Every purpose will have different approach to tell the story.

Only when you are clear with what you want, you will be able to choose a good and influencing story.

2. You must at least understand the basic needs of your customers. It is useless to talk about the benefits if affiliate marketing if your audiences are looking for information about the benefits of article marketing.

The more you understand your customers, the better.

The best way to do it is to ask your customers what they want and share relevant stories with them.

3. You need to check your story before you post it to your audiences. Imagine what will your customers respond if they read your story. You can share the story with some close friend and other affiliate marketers before you spread it out. Get their opinions and rewrite the story if necessary.

The damage of an uncheck story is like you are going into a war without checking your ammo. You certainly don't want that to happen, right?

4. You must tell your story in ad most passion and enthusiasm.

This is your own personal story you are telling to your customers. It is not some stories you heard under a bridge or by the bond fire. Don’t you feel the burning fire behind the story?

If you can't convince yourself of the realistic of the story, how can you influence others to trust you?

5. A lot of people will read your story in a glance and didn't really think about your message. That is why you need to tell your readers the morale of the story.

Since this is the last part of the story, you need to be specific about the morale of the story and let your customers know in the simplest words possible.

If your message is to be patience and keep testing the market, tell them so.

So, hopefully you understand the power of story telling in your affiliate marketing business (this is the morale of the story) and you will apply it in your marketing campaign.

Create your success,
