One of our bureau partners, Brian Lord with Premiere Speakers, kept Sally’s “fascinating” principles in mind when he wrote this blog post: “A Little Known Robin Williams Story.” Brian was kind enough to share with Sally the amazing response he received:
“Hi, Sally,
I thought I’d share a cool story with you. I know how you’ve written that you can be a nonprofit leader and write something that’s very ‘worthy’, but if it’s not fascinating, there’s a good chance no one will read it.
I was writing a quick blog on Tuesday morning and mainly just got the facts in during the first go round. Then I took an extra couple of minutes to try to make the title and the first and last sentences more ‘fascinating’. I posted it hoping for 100 hits.
48 hours and 5 site crashes later, and the post (http://bit.ly/RobinWill) has 230,000 hits and counting, and was basically reprinted in Huffington Post UK and Travelife Magazine in Singapore. It helps to have a fascinating subject in Robin Williams, and a cool thing about him almost no one knew, but the method was important, too.
Thanks again for the reminder to take the time to make things fascinating!”
