What We Can Learn From Fiction Writers on Attracting a Real Life Audience
Hi, I love acting as an educated critic to a lot of books, and films. I love watching channels like,”Writing with Jenna Moreci,” and “Overly Sarcastic Productions.” So I thought I could share some of the insights fiction writers do to attract an audience that could surprisingly help with all kinds of non-fiction material.
1. Don’t be a Mary Sue
In fiction writing, mary sues are thought of the worst type of character, because they are characters that are perfect in every way that also attracts positive attention from all kinds of characters. They’re essentially hated in stories because mary sues or gary stues come across as unbelievable and impossible to emotionally relate to. So when creating an audience, it’s essential to show some humility over what you don’t know and some emotional vulnerability.
2. Know what makes someone liked as a genuine person
Of course, being likable is often subjective, but there’s a way to increase this possibility somehow. The main characteristics that seem to make someone likable is goodness, competence and dedication. Why do people enjoy villains as characters sometimes? Because while they lack goodness, they might be competent in that they have intelligence or social charm, or in dedication where they’re hard working. It’s important to be aware of this bias because you don’t want to run into someone like the handsome serial killer Ted Bundy, or even more everyday abusive people you run into daily life. Even relatively flawed characters, on the other hand, may be completely lacking in competence, but try their very hardest that they’re loved anyway. Forrest Gump is an example, where he suffers from an intellectual disability, but is so kind hearted and hard working that while some critics may not agree, you can’t deny most of the audience likes him.
3. Bring in sensory information.
What makes a good story to tell? Notice how novels or even journalist accounts are full of sensory observations of the place, or even body language of the character. While it’s essential not to fill a real life story to tell with too much sensory detail in a distracting way, sensory info peaks up an audience’s interest in sight, sound, touch, smell and taste. In novels, the advice is to, “Show, not tell,” as in show a character’s characteristics through action, not just telling. Here is a reminder that the audience trusts us more if we work as a role model of our advice in action. Though in non-fiction the advice should probably go, “Both show and tell,” because information has to be presented directly to inform the audience.
4. Learn how to express your personality to stand out.
I define charisma as, expressing whatever your personal values are to the fullest in a way that massively influences people. People make the mistake that charisma has to look a certain way but going back to how people enjoy dedication in people, charisma is often found in unique ways, but expressed to the fullest. Bring up a series of famous people in your head, man or woman, good or evil, whether in sports, science, entertainment, the arts and so on, then notice this. Whatever their personal goals are in life, they turn it up to maximum. In the same way, people enjoy characters who are deeply goal oriented the most, than someone who is completely indecisive, not genuine or lacking in commitment to what they, not others want. Have your own unique writing style, decorate a site, logo or product with something you are, and just work to reflect on who you are to change things.
5. Realize that some people just have overly high standards.
I noticed that in reading all kinds of critics, one way to deal with fear of critics of your work is just to realize. . . some people are just impossible to please. If you follow a critic’s account on a review site such as Goodreads, Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB, you’d notice some critics rarely every have high praises for any show no matter how many others say how good it is. Of course, you should look for feedback, but I find so many people online just have impossible standards because you notice in your reviews they never even define their standards or their reasoning around their hatred, and just want to spread immature anger because of a completely unrelated situation in their life does not have anything to do with you. Realize a lot of critics are just people who emphasize the negative in about everything, so it’s okay. It’s not you. It’s maybe not even them. But some other unrelated stressor in their life.
Thank you for reading.
Hey Joel,
In this podcast you talk about how powerful it is when someone knows their value, how to impart it on others, and how to receive value in exchange. I’m having a lot of difficulty turning my value, which I’m clear on, into an exchange. I’m having difficulty finding an avenue to reach people that resonates with me. Do you have any resources that I could dive into to learn about that specific element?
Thanks for any direction you can provide
Hello, longtime listener here. I really appreciate the two of you making a series on content-creation and sharing your learnings in building your awesome business, but I did feel like this episode was a bit biased towards extraverts. Obviously, this will be a bit of an overgeneralization, but in my experience, the people who tend to over-value their experience and “how easy” it will be to build a business are often extraverts, whereas introverts often underestimate how much they can actually do and can wait too long to get going.
As an INFJ who’s trying to get into this kind of stuff now, I’m realizing I could have (and probably should have) started many years ago. Like probably most people starting out in entrepreneurship, I way underestimated how much time and trial-and-error it would actually take, so I wish I started earlier instead of feeling like I “wasn’t ready” and “needed to prepare more” even though I actually knew a lot about my subject area already. I know from your podcast that these are common IxxJ pitfalls, so I wished you could have differentiated your advice for the different types more.
Nevertheless, I did enjoy the content presented, and I hope there’ll be more on these topics in the future!
Interested in speaking or communicating with you. I left the following on a couple of your comment boxes but no response. Looking forward to a discussion when you are available. Here is my bio.
