The Story Of Your Success?

By • November 18, 2008 • Online Marketing, storytelling • 3 Comments

I’m a Web consultant. I take a LOT of calls from small businesses and individuals who need to figure out how to find success online. Each business is different, with different needs and goals and personalities that run them. But there’s one thing they all have in common…

They all have a story.

And so do you. We all have stories to tell.

So what’s your story? You probably have one and don’t even know it. It’s your about page. Head on over to your about page and re-read it. Is it telling a story, or is it just spouting off facts about your business?

People want to read stories, not brochures. Copywriting is really an art, and storytelling is probably the biggest factor in successful copywriting.

I highly suggest you subscribe to Brian Clark’s excellent blog at CopyBlogger.com to learn how to tell your story better.

Actual Amazon.com Reviews...

"Jim Kukral's new book pisses me off. And not because it's a lousy book, and reading it was a waste of time. His book pisses me off because in it, Jim interviews really, really, successful people who ARE living their dreams. And, I'm jealous. I want a turn, you know?" - Joel Libava

"I loved this short, informative, encouraging e-book. The stories of others who have been successful building a business around their lifestyle is a wake up call for me to get off my butt and do it! Thanks Jim for this book!" - Sienna

"I was having kind of a blah day, I read this book, now I feel like a million bucks and have renewed inspiration to go make a million bucks." - Eric Woodard

    Hi,

    Nice blog Jim, I just found it through copyblogger.com

    It is only recently I have come to realise that your right, we do all have story.

    Admitedly I never realised I did, and actually I guess its my story that I am now building a business on !

    What I am doing Jim is basically build a blog and blog about how I am building my blog. Everytime I learn a new thing I blog about it to enable others to benefit.

    It is working really well and I am getting amazing feedback from my visitors.

    So do I agree with what you have said ? Hell Yeah !

    People need to find their story, it could change a lot in your life and career as it has in mine !

    Of course I am at an advantage now as I have just got myself a mentor so I see my business going from strength to strength now

    But hey, thats another part of my story right ?!

    Thanks for the great information Jim

    I'll be here more often, thanks

    Dean
