How can you get an explosion of likes from your readers?
Let’s talk about that.
Tip 1: Be enlightening.
What’s the number one reason you write a book?
To make money?
To be famous?
Actually, it’s more of a publicity stunt than a book.
So… The answer is…
Probably because they want to pass on the deep insights they’ve gained.
Throughout history, the best books have been deeply insightful.
The author must first have deep knowledge that has been fought for in their own lives.
It doesn’t have to be a big, world-shattering knowledge.
It can be small, but deep knowledge, and that alone can change someone’s life.
Tip 2: You must have your own story.
Your realizations, or knowledge, should be woven into a story.
The human brain loves stories.
It’s easier to understand and remember things if you tell them in an entertaining way with relevant examples.
This doesn’t mean you have to make up stories.
It’s not about being the best storyteller in the world, it’s about being different.
Don’t try to compete with others.
The answer is within you.
Tip 3: Keep it easy and concise.
Big words, complicated logic, long sentences.
These things don’t make for great writing.
Quite the opposite.
A well-worn path doesn’t feel like a walk.
A well-written piece of writing doesn’t feel like reading.
Simple words, natural logic, concise expression.
A well-written piece of writing says it all.
Tip 4: Be honest, humble, and loving.
If you want to succeed, you can’t be successful.
That’s the way the world works.
Too much greed will turn everything around.
Genuinely care about your readers.
Put yourself in their shoes.
What kind of writing would you like if you were them?
Something fake and flashy?
Or something unpretentious and genuine?
Do you want to see a smug, “I’m such and such” post?
Or do you want to see someone humbly revealing themselves?
Does it feel like trying to take advantage of you?
Or does it come across as loving and caring?
Put yourself in the other person’s shoes and the answer will be obvious.
Tip 5: Fix it until it’s perfect.
The best doesn’t happen in one sitting.
Do you know Hemingway?
He’s the legendary writer famous for ‘Farewell, Arms’.
But it’s said that he rewrote the last page 39 times while writing it.
People think and feel differently in the morning and differently in the evening.
Different today, different tomorrow.
It’s only through the process of rereading and revising that a masterpiece emerges.
Is that too difficult?
Hey, it’s a minibook of less than 10 pages.
If you don’t have this much challenge in your life, you’re probably bored.
