Heya â Dil here.
Unpopular opinion: Forgettable content is objectively worse than bad content.
A long-time reader replied to one of my recent newsletters with this:
âIâve been posting a lot â reels and LinkedIn posts â but it always feels flat and throwaway. How can I create content people actually remember months or even years down the line?â
Nike understands the answer better than anyone.
They rarely try to sell shoes by listing out their materials or tech specs.
They sell the feeling of running.
The emotion of grit.
The transformation.
Think about their âJust Do Itâ campaigns.
No sneaker specs in sight.
Instead, you get stories:
* An 80-year-old man who runs five miles every morning.
* A woman who finishes her first marathon after years of self-doubt.
* A kid with asthma who becomes a track star.
These arenât facts.
Theyâre feelings.
And theyâre unforgettable.
Because story creates something logic canât: emotional resonance.
Your content is probably already smart.
Well-researched. Helpful. Clear.
But if people arenât remembering it â or worse, arenât sharing it â itâs not because itâs wrong.
Itâs because itâs forgettable.
A strong story makes your point stick in their head â and stay there.
It adds context, connection, emotion, and memory.
So, if you want to make your content more memorable:
Inject a story into it.
To make that stupid-simple, I use a ChatGPT prompt I call the âStory Injectâ.
Just add your role and niche in the first line, then paste in your content at the bottom â a blog post, tweet, email, video script, whatever.
Drop the full prompt (with your content) into ChatGPT, and itâll instantly give you 5 story ideas you can weave in.
Start of prompt.
âIâm a [insert role/business] and content creator in the [insert niche/industry]. Iâve pasted my content at the bottom.
Please take the key idea or takeaway and list 5 ideas for relevant, related personal stories, historical examples, or real-world moments I could use to make the content more memorable.
Hereâs my content:
[Insert Your Content Here]â
End of prompt.
Try it and watch even the simplest pieces of content become sticky and shareable.
P.S. If youâre a creator, coach, or consultant who wants to write emails that hook, engage, and sell with storiesâŠ
I teach a âbackwardsâ newsletter-writing method that helps you craft punchy emails your audience feels â and remembers.
Whether you're just starting your list or tired of writing emails no one clicks or buys fromâŠ
Weâll fix it together in a live 1:1 Zoom session.
Spots are running out fast â and bookings close tomorrow.
Hereâs to becoming unforgettable (the easy way).
Cheers,
Dil
