Monkey See, Monkey Do-

another person’s joy and pain

Visuals-
As much as 50% of our brains are wired to receive visual input
It takes you about 1/10 of a second to understand a visual scene
It takes you 250 milliseconds to process a symbol, and attach a meaning to it
Images are stored in our long-term memory

Dopamine-When engaged in emotional meaningful content the
brain releases dopamine
It both encourages curiosity and enhances memory
A well-told story can engage many additional areas
making it easier to remember with greater accuracy
Storytelling that sustains attention and facilitates
empathy creates a chemical impact of shared emotions

Sharing On Social Media-
Take a look at the underlying motivations that create sharing
behavior
There’s evidence to suggest sharing behavior
actually helps people process information
better
Comments and responses can help people
create a three-dimensional view of a topic
Allows information to build up, as people
comment, so individuals can start with a
value-added view of the content

Share Serves As Endorsement-
Columbia University and the French National Institute found 59% of links shared on Twitter weren’t clicked by followers
The instinct to share is strong, but the instinct to read what people share is far less potent
Shares are essential to building your audience, and are one of the most influential ways you can
reach new people
