Quick Reference

1. Show, Don't Tell — Use vivid sensory details, action, and dialogue instead of stating facts. Let the reader feel the emotion.
2. StoryBrand (7-Part) Framework — Customer = Hero, Brand = Guide. Define a clear Plan to avoid Failure and achieve Success.
3. Lead with "Why" (Golden Circle) — Start with purpose/belief before explaining how or what. Connect emotionally first.
4. Before-After-Bridge (BAB) — Describe pain point (Before), paint ideal future (After), introduce product as the Bridge.
5. One Message Per Piece — Every content piece communicates exactly one core message. Find the most creative way to express it.
6. Be Specific, Never Generic — Replace vague language with concrete details. Specificity = credibility.
7. Define the Stakes Early — What the reader stands to gain or lose. Establish in the first paragraph.
8. Audience-First Empathy Mapping — Before writing: pain points, aspirations, media habits, emotional triggers. Mirror their experience.
9. ABT Structure (And, But, Therefore) — Context + agreement (And), conflict (But), resolution (Therefore). Instant narrative momentum.
10. Brand Story Checklist — Hero (customer), Problem, Brand as Guide, Plan (3 steps max), CTA at highest tension, Success/Failure contrast, consistent voice.
11. Hook Within 3-5 Seconds — First paragraph must establish stakes or relevance. If they don't read past the intro, the opening failed.
12. Adapt Content to Channel — A blog structure is not a TikTok script. Optimize format, length, and conventions per platform.
