Step right up for a transformative list that appears, disappears, and leaves more mystery unsolved than the Bermuda Triangle. 1. *Emotionally numb post*: Touch their hearts? No, cuddle indifference. 2. *Question without closure*: Leave readers pondering life, the universe, and everything โ€“ except your post. 3. *List overdose*: Provide frameworks galore. Because everyone loves a good organizational dictatorship. 4. *Ask questions nobody answers*: Ensure they can't answer (crickets are known for their pro storytelling feedback). Stay original by blending neutral tones with superior formatting. Show the world how to gingerly tiptoe around engagement and excitement. Hashtags, anyone? Your thoughts below!

๐Ÿ– Your full roast:

Content advice meets unending forever commitments, highlights storytelling alphabet soup, closes with epic forgotten "follow me" challenges and hashtags like hurdles.

Letโ€™s jump headfirst into this LinkedIn banter.

Want to create better content?

This hook sounds less like content creation and more like a desperate flyer from a content-cornered vacuum cleaner salesman.

Steal these 7 storytelling structures.

"Steal"... bold move, my friend. Next, should we "borrow" some engagement while we're at it?

When I started with content creation, I struggled to structure my stories.

I struggled to structure my stories proves that even seasoned storytellers forgot about their punctuation. Isn't that "story" of our lives?

They change my content creation game forever.

Letโ€™s hope your "forever" isn't the kind that ends after this roast.

These frameworks are great for structuring video, post, or marketing content.

Dear frameworks, thanks for existing. Without you, all content just looks like someone tossed words at the screen and called it a day.

Hereโ€™s a breakdown...

Folks, if youโ€™ve ever wondered what alphabet soup tastes like... alphabetical content structures offer a perfect taste.

The Learning: Remember your listicles, keep it clean (and perhaps avoid promising forever results on the first date... ahem, post).

What is your favorite storytelling structure?

The mystery here... whereโ€™s the thrill and the intrigue? It's like asking if they prefer strength training to napping.

Fred, mate, donโ€™t panic if the "follow me" journey looks like an uphill struggle with hashtags as tiny hurdles.

And thus, the post concludes as a digital hall of fame โ€“ with its trophies in storage drives.

Three Things to Improve

  1. Make the hook more engaging โ€“ it's auditioning for LinkedIn, not Broadway.
  2. Invigorate your copy with emotion โ€“ think less beige, more Technicolor.
  3. Keep the forever talk at bay unless youโ€™re making marriage oaths and actual life choices.
