 "True joy comes when you inspire, encourage, and guide someone else on a path that benefits him or her." - Zig Ziglar
The stages of writing an article, from initial
brainstorming, researching, outlining, and completion, do not have to be
overwhelming.
You know two things:
- You need to grab your audience's attention.
- You need to become a formidable force in your niche.
How do you achieve this?
Think about where you want your work to take
you. Next, consider the impact of your work and how it has affected your
audience. No matter how many articles you produce, nothing will compare
to the experience and emotion that readers experience because of your
work.
A simple idea can transform someone's life. An
inspiring, positive message can cause a chain reaction that changes a
mindset or belief. With your writing, you're not merely giving your
reader something to read to pass the time. You're lighting a
game-changing fire under the seat of their pants that challenges them to
reach into their thoughts to consider what they've read as well as how
it impacts their life and those closest to them.
Are your ready to make a positive impact? Make
your writing stand out in an ocean of bland and uninspiring content with
this list of ways you can impact others and truly make a difference.
15 Powerful Ways Your Writing Can Make a Difference
- Inspiring Others Starts with Your Story: We can never
hear enough inspirational stories or initiatives for good deeds. 9 out
of 10 commercials you see don't even touch on it, they're all about
advertising. The is also a common error in the volume of submissions we
receive from new authors. If you really want to make an impression on
others and give them hope, start with yourself. Show others how you
empower yourself. How do you prepare for the day? How do you ensure your
time is spent wisely? How do you remain productive without missing out
on priorities? Empower your audience by sharing your story.
- Good Deeds Matter: Random acts of kindness are generous ways
to surprise and reward strangers. In some places you can order
"suspended" coffee or food, making it available for others who need it
more. The homeless or people in need can ask if there are any suspended
items available, and since they are already paid for, it's a free item.
Make a list of good deeds that you feel are the most rewarding, and use
personal examples by including the message you're trying to send with
each one.
- Express Your Enthusiasm: List ways your readers can be
authentic and tap into their passions. Enthusiasm is contagious! Help
your readers build character and reject their feelings of self-doubt
with your enthusiasm. Share lessons from your successes and failures.
Keep them engaged by clearly and honestly communicating your advice.
- A Cause or Movement Important to You: Write about a cause or
movement that has real meaning to you. There are several groups actively
making a difference and their rising number of followers determines
their expanding range of impact. What groups have you been following?
Where do you see change that is needed?
- Encourage Fitness: Physical fitness isn't limited to
improving appearance. It can make you feel better, reduce anxiety,
decrease stress, prevent disease, connect with others who have the same
goals, and give you a sense of purpose. Share your thoughts on health
and fitness by highlighting what works for you. List techniques close to
home to help with relaxation or with a workout routine. Your tips can
be instructional or merely a change in lifestyle, but don't forget to
list the benefits!
- Fun Activities with Goals in Mind: Provide your readers with
useful goals to stay positive by listing fun activities to try. These
can be indoor team-building exercises or creative-outdoor activities.
Expand your usual recreation material and share something new you have
tried. Think of goals you prescribe to your readers, but make them fun
and engaging in order to stimulate the mind and improve their
relationship with themselves. It's amazing how a simple change in a
hobby can transform an outlook on life. What ideas can you share?
- List Heroes of All Kinds: A hero can be a role model that you
have a personal relationship with, or someone you look up to that you
have never met. Write about some of these people, fictitious characters
included. Think about their qualities and what makes them unique and
heroic. If you were to create your own superhero, what characteristics
and powers would you have? What adventures or journeys would you go on?
Would you have a trustworthy sidekick? Be as creative as you want!
- Communities and Their Impact: Charities or foundations don't
have the reach most businesses do, but that doesn't stop them from
improving the lives of people. Provide a list of ones that are at the
top of their game in helping those in need. Nonprofits need your
exposure to grow, provide visibility and credibility to keep providing
services. These communities are everywhere: make it a goal to discover
and write about them through your articles. Help spread the word,
support their cause!
- The Effects of Gardening: Gardening is a soothing and
rewarding activity. It can improve your satisfaction with life and get
you more connected with nature. You can list some of your favorite
recipes as "comfort food" and the benefits of ones on the healthier
side. Do you know of any gardening or cooking clubs in your area? Do
some research and reveal some of these with your readers. Help them see
nature and the environment as inspiring topics. It's also good exercise
and can be a goal-oriented hobby with delicious results.
- Think About the Troops: You don't need to talk about the
complexity of war or the impact it has on families to inspire your
audience. There are many things you can write about that touch on the
experience our troops go through. They get visits from celebrities and
leaders in business; they are not tucked away overseas by themselves.
Our Veterans are also not hiding; they're out there trying to make a
difference. You can pay it forward by interacting with them, and writing
about organizations they are active in. With their permission, tell
their stories.
- Improving Relationships: You can use your own experiences
with relationships to help educate and make a difference. Touch on your
strengths, weaknesses, and how you overcome personal battles. Social
media is growing by the day and the connection with your audience as
well as their connection with each other can only help you all grow.
Discuss how to remain proactive in an argument and steps you take to
communicate properly with various personality types.
- Review Impactful Books or Movies: Stories can invoke such
emotion and drama, whether it's over time with a book or in 1 sitting
for a movie. Choose some of your favorite books or films and explore
various opinions and messages conveyed. What parts make you reflect the
most? What characters do you admire and what strengths make them
memorable? There are so many choices to review, making it an ongoing
adventure for your writing.
- Volunteer Work: It can be tough to find time in our hectic
work schedules to do volunteer work. Touch on volunteering and note the
variety of ways people can be involved. It's a great way to make a
positive impact in a community and any little bit can help. Through your
passion and encouragement, you may inspire hundreds of others to
volunteer!
- Going Green: Energy efficiency and conservation can have a
lasting impact on your wellbeing, not to mention it can help your
finances. We hear the phrase "going green," but are we really doing the
best we can in reducing our carbon footprint? Think about the
environmental impact you leave behind and share your thoughts through
your writing. Sometimes all it takes is awareness to create a movement
as strong as helping the environment.
- Travel & Leisure: Visit new and interesting locations
that are great for exploring, or have a peaceful appearance. Capture the
landscape in detail and explain how it makes you feel. Think about the
vision and structure of the people or environment around you. It's
important to list specifics and make the visit appealing and feel
adventurous. If your writing makes your readers feel like they are
there, that's exceptional writing!
