Newbies use social media to… • Share experiences from everyday life; and • Share pictures or products that they found. • To save money via promotions.

Situation and testimonials 101: Regardless of whether a story's characters are humans,

animals, divinities, aliens, etc -- all stories are about situations. Story listeners can project themselves into these characters, and imagine themselves in these situations. The listeners can consider if they might do things the same or differently from how the characters do things. This gives the listeners and readers practice for living. To share testimonials of the use of our products or services invites other possible users to try them.

2. Story Performance. We analyzed the performance basics. We reflect on how “Newbies” use social media. We identified the importance of testimonials. Next, we will discuss the twelve elements of storytelling.

1. Open questions for internal stakeholders. 2. Tips.

Open questions for internal stakeholders:

• What do you remember about the story? • What did you think about the story? • How did you feel about the story? • What did you like about the story? • Might you have a favorite scene in the story? • How do you feel about the ways the characters behaved?

• Do you feel the story shows any positive behaviors? (that we should seek to imitate). • Do you feel the story shows any negative behaviors? (that we should seek to avoid). • Might there be something about the story that you might like to change? • What messages, morals, and meanings do you get from the story? • Is this story going to help us to increase the sales?

Open questions for internal stakeholders:

Throw oneself into telling the story. Believe in the value of the story, and be enthusiastic about sharing it with listeners. Commit oneself to the story, trust it, get into it, and tell it whole-heartedly. It should be an “Every body’s in” adventure. Use voice modulation. Give variations in tone-of-voice, attitude, and emotion; speed, pitch, and rhythm. Give contrast -- even opposites -- between the various voices (slow and fast, continuously and with pauses, soft and loud, low and high pitch, meek and proud emotions, etc). Find your voice.

Tips to share the story:

Expression. Use facial expressions, gestures, body language (posture and movement). Visualization. Visualize the elements of each scene and describe these elements to listeners. (Your family may have a great idea to share with you) Act. Act-out (step-into, role-play) characters: speak their words and physically become these characters. (The purple cow)

Tips to share the story:

Contact. Make eye-contact with individual listeners -- both as narrator, and when role-playing a character. Try looking at a single listener while speaking a complete thought. Dialog. Develop repeated conversational exchanges between your business and its customers.

Music. If you have the budget the music is on of the must important factors in positioning your idea in to your customers mind. Use a different one for every campaign. There is nothing wrong with NOT using music as long as is a conscious decision or part of the message.

4. Tips for good storytelling. We identified Key questions for our stakeholders We observed general tips. Next, we will close this course.
