If your posts don’t spark emotion, they get ignored — here’s how to change that.

If your posts don’t spark emotion, they get ignored — here’s how to change that.

You can be a brilliant artist, musician, or founder with years of experience — and still feel invisible.

Meanwhile, someone less skilled grabs the spotlight with a single post

Why?

Because information doesn’t move people. Emotion does.

Why Emotion Wins

The brain reacts to feelings before logic. People don’t remember what you said — they remember how you made them feel. That’s why some content disappears instantly, and some lives forever.

In cinematography, there's a term called "affect effect": viewers remember a scene not because of its logic, but because it triggered an emotion — fear, joy, or shock. The same principle applies to personal branding.

The Film Director’s Secret

Great directors know how to make us feel:
  1. Contrast – set an expectation, then break it.

  2. Transformation – show a journey, not just a result.

  3. Open loops – leave something unfinished so people lean in.

The same tricks work in content and branding.

How to Apply This

If you want your audience to remember you:

  1. Share your struggles, not just your wins.

  2. Show your path of change.

  3. Leave space for reflection.

Do this, and your brand stops being noise. It becomes a feeling.
