Use stories as examples

If you do not know how to start with storytelling, then start using stories as examples. Of course, you don’t have to start every story with "once upon a time".

You can use short anecdotes or stories from your readers to make a blog post more entertaining. Examples make your blog post lively and nice to read.

Get inspiration from your own world

Coming up with ideas for stories can be difficult. So, use the world around you for inspiration. A little talk with a neighbor, a funny thing your daughter did, something that happened during your lunch break: these are all little stories.

Lots of the stories I use in my posts come from my own experiences. Claudio, in the story I wrote at the beginning of this post, is actually me.

The story that I told you before, really happened.

Make sure your story aligns with the message of your post

The stories are fun and enjoyable to read, but they only become powerful if they really mean something. Every story has a meaning, something you want people to learn.

In the story I tell, I try to highlight the value of fellowship, in the incredible trio.
