## Why visual storytelling matters

Just because you've written something doesn't mean anyone will actually read it. Whether they do depends on several factors:

- What's the topic
- How it's presented visually
- What the reader experiences while going through the text

## Two reader behavior scenarios

A reader might skim diagonally, understand nothing, and bounce back to scrolling social media. Or they might read every word with laser focus — because you've planted the right hooks, triggers, and attention-grabbers to pull them in.

## The purpose of these posts

This course is a series of articles about how to attract readers, hold their attention, and most importantly, drive them to take the actions you want.

### Three stages of working with your reader

1. **Hook them** — whether on social media or in print
2. **Hold their attention** — get them to read all the way to the end
3. **Drive action** — make sure what they do next works in your favor

## Putting it into practice

Knowledge is worthless if you don't apply it. So make sure to study the materials, practice, and complete the assignments.
