Here are 10 Storytelling Tricks that will Hook Viewers to your Content:
1. That's So Me
You have to make them say "that's so me"
Everyone loves stories that they can relate to,
Make it so relatable that your viewers imagine themselves in it.
For that, start with a problem that they have, or a relatable incident.
See how Niklas does thatπ

2. What's Your Purpose?
Make your videos like a journey.
β’ From Lazy to Productive
β’ From Bad to Good
β’ From point A to B
Make your end goal Crystal Clear.
That point B should be visible and something that your audience craves.

4. Open Your Eyes
It takes me hours to prepare visuals for my threads every week.
(The one you see below my tweets)
But still, I do that.
Why? To make it easier for your brain to grasp.
You have to do the same thing.
Use B-rolls to show the story & not just narrate it.

Filmmakers try to make your mind question while watching their videos
"I wonder who is she"
"What's happening over here?"
"What the..."
This works extremely well in the start

Sound is very necessary to immerse your viewers in your videos,
Don't Ignore It.

10. The End
The ending of your stories is just as important as the start.
When your viewers finish the video, they should understand why you did the thing that you did in the first place.
The story plot must connect and give your viewers value in the end.
