Do you have trouble writing for readers?

Someone I know mentioned that they have trouble writing for readers…

…..and also asked what I considered to be one of my most poignant and deep articles.

Here I share with you my response:

One of the big keys in life is having a deep awareness of the fact that other people are tuned into WII FM.

This radio station is available worldwide in all languages.

WII FM is short for What’s In It For ME.

Deep down, the vast majority of people really don’t give a shit about anyone else. So, writing for the audience of WII FM is the way to go. It goes with the flows of LIFE (lower flows anyway).

In one sense, we are never writing for ourselves. Or, need never be. Or, should never be. The key is to move others. Influence others. Help others.

When I write, a key tool/method I use is to frame my mind in such a way that it references back to the time when I had a more basic and limited understanding of stuff. Because I have been there, and use it as reference point, it is much easier to write for varied levels of understanding. I just imagine myself back there.

The following article is one of the most important I have written. I wrote it for my Shamanic blog (I am a Shaman):

And by the way, the black has nothing to do with bad.

(Shamanism is actuality built right into everyone’s psyche. Most just don’t know that.)

Note:

My email for a friend formed the basis of this blog post. Here’s a tip: besides considering using some of the emails you write daily as possible bases for blog articles, perhaps think about what you have written over the years. Some good stuff perhaps? That others might find helpful? You might have a huge library which you are unaware of! And the other thing is that when writing email you are perhaps more likely to be candid, more relaxed and natural; all of which can mean better copy!

Who knows; maybe you could write an email a day to a friend, aim it at them and then publish as blog material. Because you are writing to a friend you might overcome blocks and hindrances.

PSSSSTT…

Good, you read all the way to the bottom.

The thing is, when you help other people you are really helping yourself!

So, you can be selfish while being selfless. What a pity more people don’t realize this! How much nicer the world would be, albeit not for the ideal reasons.
