- 0:00Do you know why some bloggers get
- 0:02millions of views just by telling
- 0:04simple life stories, while others pour
- 0:06tons of effort, time, and money into
- 0:08their blogs, yet remain stagnant, even
- 0:09when they produce highly useful, expert
- 0:11, professional content? The thing is,
- 0:14dry, useful content just doesn't work
- 0:16anymore. Information has been devalued
- 0:18because you can get an answer to any
- 0:19question in just a couple of clicks
- 0:21using AI. Useful information has become
- 0:23very cheap, and we’re all tired of
- 0:24these "10 facts,""three tips,""watch
- 0:26how I do it," and so on. Nowadays,
- 0:29it’s honest, emotional stories—even
- 0:30very simple ones—that build loyalty,
- 0:32stay in memory, and create a desire to
- 0:34stick with you. In this video, I’ll
- 0:36give you a step-by-step guide to
- 0:38creating storytelling that works for
- 0:39bloggers or experts in absolutely any
- 0:41niche, and with specific examples,
- 0:42I’ll explain story formats, structure
- 0:44, psychological triggers, and
- 0:45everything else that will help you
- 0:46attract thousands of fans to your blog
- 0:48through engaging Reels storytelling.
- 0:50I’m Dmitry Torgovets, founder of a
- 0:51service for promotion on Instagram,
- 0:53Telegram, and TikTok. Let’s go. So,
- 0:55what exactly is storytelling and why
- 0:56does it work? Storytelling is not just
- 0:58a tale; it’s an emotional connection
- 0:59with the audience. Imagine two posts
- 1:01with different commercial offers from a
- 1:03pastry chef. The first one simply
- 1:04states a 15%discount on cakes. And the
- 1:06second one tells a whole story. A year
- 1:08ago, I baked my first cake for sale.
- 1:10Back then, I only had a mold and a
- 1:11mixer that rattled through the whole
- 1:12apartment. I took out a loan for my
- 1:14training and was up to my ears in debt.
- 1:15Now, I have my own students and regular
- 1:17customers, so I’m offering a discount
- 1:19to celebrate this milestone. Can you
- 1:20feel the difference here? In the first
- 1:22case, we see a plain offer, while in
- 1:24the second, we have a backstory. We see
- 1:26the author’s motivation for why she
- 1:27is offering this discount today. We
- 1:30experience emotions: sympathy,
- 1:31inspiration, pride, or a desire to
- 1:33support the person. This is truly
- 1:37important in content; when we
- 1:38understand the author’s motivation,
- 1:40especially if it’s relatable, we
- 1:42trust them more and want to support
- 1:44them with a vote, a purchase, or a
- 1:46follow. Stories evoke emotions, and
- 1:48emotions drive engagement. Storytelling
- 1:50reveals the person behind the brand
- 1:52because people buy from people, not
- 1:53from faceless companies, especially
- 1:55nowadays. That’s why, when you tell a
- 1:57story about yourself—like how you
- 1:58rented a room with your best friend to
- 2:00start a business, living in an
- 2:01apartment with his mom, and sleeping on
- 2:03a mattress on the floor with cats—
- 2:04that’s my backstory. That is how I
- 2:07got started back in 2017. When people
- 2:10hear such stories from you, you become
- 2:11lively, real, and in some way relatable
- 2:13. That is why you’re no longer just
- 2:15some useful expert, Dmitry Parilsam,
- 2:17but, damn, you’re the guy who has a
- 2:19lot in common with me, so I’m going
- 2:21to trust you. And later on, I will buy
- 2:23products specifically from you, because
- 2:24I have at least something in common
- 2:26with you. Actually, everything is
- 2:28useful nowadays, but people still buy
- 2:30from those with whom they feel they
- 2:32have common ground and whom they might
- 2:34want to be friends with, because buying
- 2:36a product is also a chance to enter the
- 2:38sphere of a brand, author, expert, or
- 2:40entrepreneur. And people are willing to
- 2:43pay for that, especially if you are
- 2:44high-profile, visible, and create
- 2:46interesting content. This is important
- 2:48now, as advertising stops working
- 2:50because algorithms are becoming so
- 2:51smart that everyone's feed is maximally
- 2:53personalized. And telling stories is
- 2:56the best way to reach a person through
- 2:58a large number of common touchpoints.
- 3:01So, here are five effective
- 3:02storytelling formats. Format one. You
- 3:04simply show your reality: how you got
- 3:05up at 5:00 AM to pack an order, how you
- 3:07doubted before a big decision, or what
- 3:08you are feeling right now. For example,
- 3:10a great example is blogger Oksana Denga
- 3:12, who just speaks to the camera,
- 3:13sharing her thoughts, and you watch
- 3:15until the end without even noticing.
- 3:16The formula is very simple: what I am
- 3:18feeling, seeing, and experiencing right
- 3:19now, honestly and without pretension.
- 3:21The second format is the experiment. It
- 3:22is very important here to turn your
- 3:24life into a kind of series with a real
- 3:25possibility of messing up. That is what
- 3:27an experiment is, because experiments
- 3:28don’t always end successfully. In
- 3:30fact, nine times out of ten,
- 3:32experiments actually fail. But they are
- 3:34always interesting to watch. So, don't
- 3:35be afraid to start something new in
- 3:37your life and share the process with
- 3:39your audience. For example, you decide
- 3:41to give up coffee for a week and share
- 3:43what you were experiencing, feeling,
- 3:45what difficulties or symptoms arose,
- 3:47and how you coped. Or you decided to
- 3:49spend a month implementing some healthy
- 3:51habits. Waking up early, reading a book
- 3:53, jogging, exercising, posting one reel
- 3:56a day, and so on. I’ve held such
- 3:58challenges, and those moments always
- 4:00had very high reach because my blog
- 4:01immediately became much more
- 4:02interesting to everyone. For instance,
- 4:05Diana Listopad went on speed dates
- 4:06every month, took ice baths, and
- 4:08traveled on a cruise ship. People
- 4:09followed it just like a TV series. The
- 4:11formula is very simple: "What would
- 4:13happen if" plus a diary. You publicly
- 4:15share your notes and show the results,
- 4:17which is engaging because the viewer
- 4:19experiences your journey as their own.
- 4:21That is exactly why we watch TV series.
- 4:22We empathize with every character, even
- 4:24though we know they are actors. The
- 4:26next format is expert-led. Value
- 4:27through personal experience. Here, you
- 4:29provide advice, not like a teacher in a
- 4:30classroom, but through your own
- 4:31experience. How did you arrive at this?
- 4:33For example, doctors and bloggers like
- 4:35Maykna share professional stories with
- 4:37a moral, and it is perceived not as a
- 4:39lecture, but as friendly advice from a
- 4:40buddy or a friend. The next format is
- 4:42humorous. If it’s funny, it means
- 4:44people are reading you.
- 4:45Self-deprecation works incredibly well,
- 4:46because only a strong person is capable
- 4:48of laughing at themselves. And when
- 4:50people see that you aren’t afraid to
- 4:53look funny, awkward, or clumsy, you
- 4:55instantly win them over, people trust
- 4:57you more, and they easily engage with
- 4:59your other pieces of content. I am
- 5:02especially impressed by bloggers who
- 5:04have speech impediments or are missing
- 5:06certain body parts, and instead of
- 5:08trying to hide it, they turn it into
- 5:10stories, poke fun at themselves, act
- 5:12out different situations, and it
- 5:14actually becomes really interesting to
- 5:16watch. Show how you failed to handle an
- 5:19order. You didn’t manage to bake a
- 5:21great cake. You don’t get discouraged
- 5:23and show not only the good cases, but
- 5:24also the unsuccessful ones, because,
- 5:25well, there is no such thing as a good
- 5:27entrepreneur, a successful company, or
- 5:28a strong expert without unsuccessful
- 5:30cases. Otherwise, it all looks like
- 5:32some kind of scam. And finally, there
- 5:34is the mix of formats. This is when you
- 5:36combine all the listed formats together
- 5:38. You can start with lifestyle, add an
- 5:40experiment, inject some expertise, and
- 5:41finish it all with humor. The main
- 5:43thing here is to remain yourself and
- 5:45find your unique voice. I recommend
- 5:46that you choose two or three formats
- 5:47that you are comfortable with and
- 5:49alternate between them. In the process,
- 5:51you will realize that a certain format
- 5:52gives you the highest reach, another
- 5:54provides the best conversion to
- 5:56subscriptions, and with another, it is
- 5:57easier to lead people into your funnel
- 5:59and make sales. Now let's analyze how
- 6:01to tell strong stories. There are five
- 6:03key elements. The first, of course, is
- 6:04the hero. Someone we empathize with. It
- 6:06could be you, your client, your mom,
- 6:08your dog, it doesn't matter. The main
- 6:09thing is to have a living character
- 6:11with emotions. Add a couple of specific
- 6:12details. "I'm a massage therapist from
- 6:14Mytishchi, I've been working for 5
- 6:15years," or "my client, a mother of
- 6:16three with not a minute for herself."
- 6:18This creates a recognition effect, and
- 6:19the viewer thinks, "Oh, that's just
- 6:21like me." Second is place and time.
- 6:22It’s important to immerse the viewer
- 6:23in the atmosphere here. You don't need
- 6:25to write November 1st, 2:35 PM, Sokol
- 6:27station. Even though I’ve seen such
- 6:28intros in Reels, the delivery also
- 6:30plays a part. It’s important to
- 6:31create an image in the viewer’s head,
- 6:33like when reading a book. It was
- 6:34morning, I was drinking coffee on the
- 6:36balcony, watching passersby, snow in
- 6:37April. This engages the viewer's
- 6:38imagination, and they are already there
- 6:40with you. The next element of
- 6:41storytelling is the precedent.
- 6:42Something happened, and from that, a
- 6:44more dynamic development of events
- 6:45begins—the setup. The moment when a
- 6:47conflict or confusion arises. I open
- 6:49the comments, and there are 200
- 6:50messages saying I plagiarized someone
- 6:52else's work. Shock. This is exactly
- 6:53where viewers think: "Hmm, what happens
- 6:55next?" And they keep watching. Next is
- 6:57the hero's journey—how you solve the
- 6:59problem. You try to cope, you try one
- 7:00thing, it doesn't work, you try another
- 7:02. At first, I wanted to go to the
- 7:03police, but I decided to deal with the
- 7:05phone scammer myself. And here is what
- 7:06I did. These are emotional swings that
- 7:08keep attention or suspense—keeping a
- 7:10person in tension. And the next part is
- 7:12the resolution and the moral. The
- 7:13finale with a takeaway. Here you
- 7:14explain how it all ended, what lesson
- 7:16you learned, and add a call to action.
- 7:18I didn't go to the police, but now I
- 7:19know how to spot people like that. Or I
- 7:20lost 30,000, but gained a million’s
- 7:22worth of experience. It’s the same
- 7:23aftertaste that makes people watch
- 7:25until the end. For example, in my
- 7:26videos, such endings trigger people to
- 7:28comment. But it’s very important to
- 7:29understand that you don't necessarily
- 7:31need to include all five elements. But
- 7:32the more you include, the stronger the
- 7:33effect will be. And by the way, if you
- 7:35want to get not just views, but also
- 7:37followers and clients from such videos,
- 7:38there is a working method using the
- 7:40Chatbase service where you ask people
- 7:42to comment a keyword and give them
- 7:43something useful in return. An audio
- 7:45podcast, checklist, guide, instructions
- 7:47, mini-course, lesson, and so on. You
- 7:48have surely seen such videos on
- 7:50Instagram; well, creators build them
- 7:51using the Chatbase service without any
- 7:53coding skills. It is done in literally
- 7:545 minutes. Below the video, I will
- 7:56leave a link for 2 weeks of free access
- 7:57to the service and a lesson on how to
- 7:59set it all up for your project. And be
- 8:01sure to test our new feature: a smart
- 8:03AI agent that will answer comments 24/7
- 8:05in your style, understanding what your
- 8:07videos are about, replying to DMs from
- 8:09your followers or potential clients,
- 8:10learning independently from your
- 8:12messages, your blog content, and the
- 8:13knowledge base uploaded to this AI
- 8:15agent: information about your product,
- 8:17prices, items, and so on. It will
- 8:19ingest all of this, so to speak, and
- 8:21build a Q&A database to rely on later,
- 8:23understanding who is messaging, what
- 8:24they do, scanning all correspondence,
- 8:26and even understanding audio, video,
- 8:28images, and text. In short, I recommend
- 8:29testing it out. Also, after registering
- 8:31via the link, you will get free access
- 8:32to this feature as well. Now, about the
- 8:33story structure in Reels. How to hold
- 8:35attention until the end. We start the
- 8:36video with a catchy hook. It could be a
- 8:38strong trigger, an unusual appearance
- 8:40on camera, or a bright emotion that
- 8:42causes a dissonance in the viewer while
- 8:43they are scrolling through other videos
- 8:45. They need to be provoked by something
- 8:48very strong to pause their attention
- 8:50and continue watching. I recorded a
- 8:52separate video where I analyzed the
- 8:53topic of hooks in detail. It will
- 8:55appear here, watch it later too. Also,
- 8:57by the way, we test different hooks
- 8:59using the "Test" feature in Instagram,
- 9:01where you can make, for example, five
- 9:02different intros for one video, post
- 9:04them in test mode first, see which
- 9:06video keeps more viewer attention,
- 9:08which video people interact with more,
- 9:09and only then post that video to your
- 9:11main feed. Many people use the test
- 9:13mode incorrectly, just by re-uploading
- 9:15the same video multiple times. But you
- 9:17should make different intros and see
- 9:19which video with which intro shows the
- 9:21best statistics. You then place your
- 9:23bets, so to speak, on that specific
- 9:24video. Next, we work on the visuals so
- 9:26that something is constantly happening
- 9:28on camera throughout the story. It is
- 9:30desirable that the image changes every
- 9:322-3 seconds, corresponding to the
- 9:33content of your text and your script.
- 9:35That is, whatever you are talking about
- 9:36, that is what is happening on screen
- 9:37right now. This is exactly what allows
- 9:38me to hold viewers 'attention in my
- 9:40storytelling. I get about 30 to 40
- 9:42seconds of retention. And it is
- 9:44precisely thanks to this that my videos
- 9:45get millions of views. Be sure to add
- 9:46emotional swings and keep the rhythm,
- 9:48because the story shouldn't move in a
- 9:49straight line, otherwise the viewer
- 9:50will get bored. This is called the
- 9:52hero's journey. First, a standstill,
- 9:53then an epiphany, an attempt, failure,
- 9:55another attempt, and finally, a happy
- 9:57ending. Or, by the way, there might not
- 9:58even be a happy ending. This will shock
- 10:00the viewer even more. The rhythm is
- 10:01constantly going up and down. This is
- 10:03exactly what prevents the viewer from
- 10:04scrolling past your video. As another
- 10:05option, you can leave the video
- 10:07open-ended so that people write their
- 10:09own versions of what happened next. So,
- 10:10now let's break down the triggers that
- 10:12hook at the instinctual level. The
- 10:13first is, of course, money and failures
- 10:14. The most powerful triggers. The topic
- 10:16of money always works. How I lost
- 10:18500,000 on a launch or why I turned
- 10:19down a 200,000 salary. Failures are
- 10:21even more engaging. Because at that
- 10:22moment, people see themselves in your
- 10:24mistakes. They replay their own stories
- 10:25in their heads and think, "So, I’m
- 10:27not the only one." It releases their
- 10:29inner tension and builds a connection
- 10:30with you. Next is conflicts and awkward
- 10:32situations that trigger emotional
- 10:33engagement. My client yelled at me in
- 10:35front of everyone, or I sent a file
- 10:36with an offensive name to a major
- 10:38client. Conflict always draws attention
- 10:40. We just love it; it’s in our nature
- 10:41. Next, through fears and insights, we
- 10:43show vulnerability. Vulnerability is
- 10:45not weakness; it’s your strength. It
- 10:47is exactly what brings you closer to
- 10:48your audience. And your uniqueness,
- 10:50let's say, just makes you stand out
- 10:52from your competitors. And when you
- 10:54share your fears or worries with your
- 10:56audience, people start to see your
- 10:57strength, honesty, and a desire to
- 10:59support you, give you props, send you a
- 11:00like, or write a detailed comment. The
- 11:03next trigger is before and after,
- 11:04because transformation is always
- 11:06attractive. People love change stories,
- 11:08apply them to themselves and their
- 11:09situation, and compare how I went from
- 11:10being an employee to running my own
- 11:12business in a year or what happened
- 11:13when I stopped fearing the camera.
- 11:15Transformation gives hope that the
- 11:16viewer can succeed too. And lastly,
- 11:18inner expertise through experience,
- 11:19because nobody likes being lectured
- 11:21directly. But when you tell a story
- 11:23through your own experience, the viewer
- 11:24always thinks: "Oh, she knows her stuff
- 11:26." For example, when I started in SMM,
- 11:28I thought reports and strategies were
- 11:29unnecessary. But then a client left,
- 11:31and here is what I realized. This isn't
- 11:33a lecture; it's experience that people
- 11:34genuinely want to learn from. It is
- 11:35important to combine triggers here, but
- 11:37without focusing only on one. Mix them,
- 11:39dilute them, and remember that the same
- 11:41situation can be told in different ways
- 11:42. The same story about yourself, about
- 11:44your client, or your project can always
- 11:46be served with a different sauce, from
- 11:48a different angle. And I recommend
- 11:49telling stories about yourself
- 11:51regularly. Preferably every two weeks,
- 11:53or even better, once a week in test
- 11:55mode to see which personal stories get
- 11:56the most reach, because I’ve noticed
- 11:58that personal stories have the highest
- 11:59conversion to subscriptions, as people
- 12:01always recognize themselves in them.
- 12:03And this is the easiest way to get
- 12:05acquainted, bring the audience into the
- 12:07context, and show where viewers have
- 12:08landed, what you do, and how you can be
- 12:10useful in a native format. Next is
- 12:12storytelling for warm-ups and sales.
- 12:14Warming up through a personal story.
- 12:15Tell why you are doing this at all. For
- 12:17example, before launching a product,
- 12:18talk about where the idea came from,
- 12:20where the pain point was, how you
- 12:21solved it, and what the final result
- 12:22was. 3 years ago, I spent 200,000
- 12:24rubles. on training from a guru who
- 12:26only taught me fancy words. That’s
- 12:28when I realized I needed a real working
- 12:29tool. And I started creating it. This
- 12:31builds trust and shows that you aren't
- 12:32in your niche by accident. For example,
- 12:34when I was doing SMM and running a
- 12:36marketing agency, we used various
- 12:37services to build chatbots and
- 12:39automation. To us, they were incredibly
- 12:40complex, inconvenient, and confusing.
- 12:42Bugs were constantly popping up, the UX
- 12:43/UI design was awful, and we wanted to
- 12:45make our own, something simpler, more
- 12:47intuitive, and mass-market. That is how
- 12:49ChatPlace eventually appeared. Show the
- 12:50path with mistakes. People buy from
- 12:51those who have gone through the same
- 12:53things. Mistakes make you more human
- 12:54and convince viewers that you now have
- 12:56experience, you’ve learned from the
- 12:57school of hard knocks, and therefore
- 12:58won't let your clients make those same
- 13:00mistakes. That is why it is better to
- 13:01work not only with someone who has a
- 13:03flawless reputation and perfectly
- 13:04polished cases, but also with someone
- 13:06who has the experience of failure. In
- 13:07other words, they have learned from
- 13:08their own trial and error. The next
- 13:09step is real client cases, because they
- 13:11serve as the best social proof. Share
- 13:13mini-stories. Take Nastya, a pastry
- 13:15chef from Krasnodar. A month ago, she
- 13:17had 300 followers and zero orders, but
- 13:18after implementing the funnel, she gets
- 13:2050 leads a week. Specifics, names, and
- 13:22real situations work ten times better
- 13:24than abstract promises. And only after
- 13:26that comes the offer. The final, most
- 13:28powerful offer. Because when the
- 13:29audience is warmed up by stories about
- 13:31you, your clients, your cases, and your
- 13:33screw-ups, they are ready to buy. But
- 13:34don't start with "buy now" or product
- 13:36details; start with a story instead.
- 13:38Here is what happened to me, and here
- 13:39is how I solved it. Here is what others
- 13:41achieved. Do you want the same? This is
- 13:43a soft, but actually powerful, way of
- 13:44selling through storytelling. And if
- 13:45you want to dive even deeper into
