Make Content To Be Actually Compelling People

There is nothing worse than feeling alone when you are facing tough stuff. Isolation and alienation bring on shame and suffering that can lead to depression and hopelessness. In the modern age, people turn to Google to see if anyone out there has a solution.

Be that Person Who You Needed When You Looked for Compelling Content

If you suffered a severe setback pre-Google era, you might have weathered the storm enough to know that you do get through to the other side, but boy was it hard! What you would not give to have had someone there to guide you when you needed them most.

Thankfully, many bloggers, communities, non-profits, and organizations exist simply because they had an issue, saw a need, and filled it. In essence, they became the person they needed when they were in crisis.

You can do this too.

Creating content that compels people comes from a place of having been there too. Being able to go back in time to the feelings, thoughts, roadblocks, and traps that held you up when you were stuck and offering hope, solutions, tips, tricks, and tools makes a difference.

Your personal experience means someone else does not have to suffer as much or as long as you did. That is powerful!

The benefits of creating compelling content go beyond sales and engagement. They include:

A sense of purpose: Being able to share information that helps others or sheds light on a complex subject gives a sense of purpose for what you have been through, learned from, and conquered.

A sense of hope: You recall how isolated it felt to be in your situation. Being there for someone else - even through content - can offer hope to someone who needs to know things will be all right.

Being able to give back: One way or another, you came through the storm; it is time to give back. Paying it forward always helps out the emotions of what you have been through, and you had to learn to let go.

Finding some healing: You may have long since healed from whatever you went through, but there are layers of healing. Using your situation to benefit others can help deepen the recovery and make it richer and more rewarding.

Creating compelling content is not that hard when you tap into a time you needed resources and could not find them. Be that person who you needed when you were stuck and struggling.

Go back to the place that needed support and create content that aims to solve those problems for that group of people. The content will be compelling, and the overall benefits to others, and yourself, will be amazing.
