Deciding on the "words the reader wants" makes your note get read

I often get asked, "What can I do to get my articles read more?" but to put it very simply, I believe that if you can provide the answer the reader is looking for, it will become an article that gets read.

You might think, "But I don't have any readers for my note yet!" but you do. Future readers.

In short, it's about setting up a fictional reader and thinking about what kind of worries they have, and what kind of words they would be happy to receive!.

For example.

In the case of this article, it looks like the following.

【Reader】
・People who failed their job hunt
・People who want to work in writing

【Reader's worries and the answer (message) they are seeking】
・What should I do about my career after failing my job hunt?
→You can bounce back even if you failed your job hunt!
・Can I get a job in writing without experience?
→Here is how to aim for a writing job without experience!

By the way, since you don't know if this is the correct answer while you are in the thinking stage, if you publish it and it gets read, I think you can assume "it was somewhat on the mark."The important thing is to try setting it up for now!

If it were this article, for example,

【Reader】
・People struggling with choosing this year's planner
・People interested in FOCUS EiTO
・People feeling hazy about their life

【Reader's worries and the answer (message) they are seeking】
・What should I choose for this year's planner?
→Here is a planner like this!
・What kind of planner is FOCUS EiTO?
→I'll show you the detailed contents of FOCUS EiTO!
・My life isn't going well...
→There is a way to organize your life with a planner!

By the way, you can do this even if it's not a how-to article.

【Reader】
・People who think "there is always someone better"
・People who can't accept praise well
・People who praised someone but didn't have it accepted

【Reader's worries and the answer (message) they are seeking】
・No matter how much I'm praised, I end up being humble~
→You should acknowledge yourself more!
・There are people who say "there is always someone better" even when I praise them~
→I want them to accept the praise, right!

What! Are there really readers like that!? You might think, but they do exist.

People who actually received the message

In my case, I feel like I set this "reader" and "message" almost unconsciously.

For example, the note I am writing right now is super, super, super simple.

【Reader】
・People who want someone to read their note

【Reader's worries and the answer (message) they are seeking】
・My note isn't being read at all~
→If you decide on the "words the reader wants," it will get read!

It might take some getting used to at first, but when writing a note, try to be conscious of a fictional reader and decide on a message that they would be happy to receive.

Eventually, the reader's face will start to come to mind, and you will (hopefully) be able to truly get your message across to them.
