A lot of people seem confused by how my 7-10 minute sponsored stories convert.
They’re thinking about the sponsor.
I’m thinking about the character.
If I spend 7 minutes making you relate to someone’s frustrations, goals, and insecurities, you’ve already bought into the story.
The product is simply the mechanism that helps the character overcome those problems.
That’s why it converts.
People don’t buy products. They buy better versions of themselves.
