i think you has describe many type of what we should write in a blog. however, some time we wanna write some thing happy in our blog, but that’s different with our niche.

My only contention is the Failure Stories – If they’re about you I think you then have to show how you turned your faliure around into a success story! And how do you do that without coming across as boastful? It’s tricky….

I have tried this STORY approach with my article writing but my results were not good.

If I recall right, my CTRs fell like 50% and conversions suffered badly!

But that may have been because of the niche and there might have been other factors. This was also ages ago, when I was relatively new to marketing. I’m definitely going to give “story telling” another shot. After all, it’s one of the few things that I do well nowadays! LOL

The renowned hypnotherapist Milton Erickson used this method consistently to get his point across and to allow the participant to engage and to come to a solution for himself. It is brilliant as engaging is the key. Story telling…its how we learnt basic life.

Such a great blog Darren…never fail to get valuable points and reminders from you. Thanks.

Interesting subject.

I typically write my opinions on something or a certain story or situation I found myself in.

Maybe its time i became a little more diverse :)

I usually do the “How Am I Doing?” kind of posts at my blog. Showing my fellow bloggers and readers my progress as an online marketer, a profession I’d like to do really well.

It’s good that you pull no punches in pointing out the power of failure stories can be so powerful. In fact, many sales blogs and letters use them. Many times the writer says he used to be broke and had his car reposessed. I’ll have to try it.

Prasanga, I think if the failure story shows the lessons as mentioned then people can learn from it which is why, for me, these stories can be powerful.

I like real human stories and we have all experienced failure, so why not include them?

I think failure stories are not welcome, because people want to hear success stories. There are many bloggers losing their credibility because they blog about how they failed. This is quite boring to read. Thanks for sharing. Great post.

I think spreading out your story types will confuse readers of your blog, this is a great list but I think people should stick to a handful of these types. It’ll be great to see which type of story makes more money or gets more clicks, someone get the stats up! :)

Other types of stories include back in time and forward in time. eg. What will blogging be like in 25 years?
