Content That Sells!

I'd like to share a few tips to creating content that is engaging and as promised, I'll be focusing on songwriters.
1. Use The bible! (stories) Put yourself in the scenarios. What would have been your response? How would the character have acted/reacted if he/she were living in another timeframe? That's why the animated movie, The Prince Of Egypt sold so much.
2. Use fresh camera angles. By viewing an issue from fresh angles, you present it in a new light. Tell the story from another person's point of view e.g. a third party, an onlooker, etc imagine you were a servant in Potiphar's house, how would you report what happened to Joseph?
3. Real life stories or situations work well too. Focus on the values you'd like to teach & use the experience to project it.
4. Perfect the art of story telling & make your story believable. Hollywood sells make-believe like its true life.
Well that's some tips for now. More tips coming soon.
