Your Story
Top 3 Things for Dominating The Internet:
- Your Story
- Your Story
- Yout Story
Everyone's waiting for Pixar to fail - money making hit, after hit, after hit. Their latest - "Up" took 5 years to make, 3.5 years were solely dedicated to the story. Their other famous hits, even the shorts have the same foundation. They story has to be awesome and well thougt out.
Everything can flow from a great and well articulated story. Your website, your blogs, your Tweets, your videos. Mapping out a great story doesn't need to be influenced or framed in any technology, with one exception - you're not crafting your story for a grand telling, you're crafting it for an ongoing telling. The history of storytelling since it became distributable has been tied to the media and the effort of creation and production. The story, in part has morphed itself into that process.
Who are you today? Where are you going? Where will you ultimately be?
That last point may never fully be answered but it helps in three parts, in framing the concept of telling the above on an ongoing basis. Once you have the ultimate story defined, know that you next step will be how to tell that story in pieces, with a theme, at a constant rate, in various forms - written, imagery, video. Don't be intimidated by how you're going to tell it as that's actually quite easy when the story is awesome.
