Memory Mapping: The Authentic Way to Craft Content for Entrepreneurs
What if entrepreneurs could harness the same power actors use to perform authentically for their business content creation? Enter the world of Memory Mapping for content.
Actors often rely on their personal memories to bring authenticity to their performances. This technique, known as Memory Mapping, allows them to tap into raw emotions and experiences, creating a genuine connection with the audience.
What is Memory Mapping?
Memory Mapping is a technique borrowed from the realm of devised theatre. Instead of relying on pre-written scripts, actors dig deep into their own memories to craft a performance that's both raw and real. It's about authenticity, about telling a story that resonates deeply and genuinely.
Why Use Memory Mapping in Content Creation?
For entrepreneurs, the digital space is flooded with generic content. To stand out and truly connect with your audience, you need to bring something unique to the table. Your personal journey, with all its highs and lows, is a goldmine of authentic stories waiting to be shared. Memory Mapping helps you tap into these stories, crafting content that not only stands out but deeply resonates with your audience.
How to Use Memory Mapping for Your Content
Dive deep into your entrepreneurial journey and think of pivotal moments. Here are some prompts to get you started:
"That time my heart raced when..."
"I felt Goosebumps when...”
"It felt like a punch because..."
"If they saw _____ they'd whisper..."
"Words I can't shake off?..."
“What I wish I had said out loud then was...”
"If that time in my life had a T-shirt, it would read..."
“No matter the chaos, the one glimmer of hope was...”
"I couldn’t stand any more tears of frustration over..."
Use these prompts as inspiration for blog posts, social media captions, videos, and more. Share your stories, your challenges, your triumphs, and let your audience truly get to know the person behind the brand.
