Why Engagement Matters

In a world overflowing with information, capturing attention isn’t enough—you must keep it.

Engagement transforms your audience from passive consumers into active participants. It’s the bridge between visibility and loyalty, making your content memorable and impactful.

This chapter is about that transformation, how to turn fleeting impressions into lasting relationships, and how to keep your audience not just interested but invested in your shared journey.

The Engagement Formula: Educate, Entertain, Empower

Engagement isn’t about bombarding people with information. Instead, it’s about offering value in ways that captivate and inspire them.

Here’s the formula that I use, and it’s worked for almost 20 years.

Educate

Informative content builds trust.

When you share knowledge that’s genuinely helpful, readers see you as a credible resource.

Take a “How-To” approach and personalize it to your audience’s level:

  • For beginners, simplify complex topics and offer foundational insights.

  • For intermediate readers, delve into nuanced strategies.

  • For advanced users, provide cutting-edge techniques or industry insights.

Use this structure to show that you understand the unique needs of each audience segment, making them feel seen and catered to. The key to getting this right is to know who your audience are and for 90% of my community members it is always people 2 or three steps behind where they are now.

This is Chapter 8 of my next book, Content Infotainer. I publish a chapter each week (First Draft!) and the book will be available for free to paid subscribers on launch, early Mid November

This and other benefits, including access to ALL my courses and products, are now available to members on the foundation/VIP tier.
