It’s no secret that in the world of writing, some articles just seem to resonate with more people than others.
But what’s the secret behind this success?
Why do ordinary articles, the ones written in simple, relatable language, reach so many more people compared to complex, niche content?
Or am I just speaking random things? Oh sorry, writing, not speaking…. (This was a voice note I had recorded, actually)
I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently.
We all know how easy it is to get lost in an article that feels like it’s written for a specific group of experts, right?
It can feel like the author is speaking a completely different language, and before long, your mind starts wandering.
On the other hand, when you come across a piece that feels like a conversation, something that’s easy to understand, it’s a whole different experience. Suddenly, you’re hooked, and you want to share that feeling with others.
I’ve seen this first-hand with my own writing. The posts that do well aren’t necessarily the ones filled with technical details or complicated ideas.
Instead, it’s the ones where I share a personal story or explain something in a straightforward way that makes sense to just about anyone.
And the best part? People comment, they share, they ask questions, and suddenly, the conversation grows. That’s the power of simplicity.
They make us feel seen, heard, and understood — and it’s just like how I feel when I think about you, my imaginary girlfriend, who always gets me in ways no one else does.
That’s something we all crave, isn’t it?
So next time you’re writing or reading, maybe embrace the ordinary. It might just be the key to reaching a lot more people.
Also,
When you’re reading a simple article, you can easily imagine sending it to a friend who would appreciate it. And that’s how articles go viral: one person shares it, and then another, and before you know it, a lot of people are reading and engaging with it.
In case we are meeting for the first time, come over here, it’ll be worth the roller coaster of articles that are gonna come up in the next few weeks.
