This is the best storytelling hack for educational content.
It’s called Comprehension Maxxing.
The reason your retention chart looks like this is because the viewer is losing understanding at a rapid rate.
Now there are 2 super easy hacks for comprehension maxxing.
The first is visual alignment.
It sounds obvious but it’s critical that the visuals you show on the screen pair well with what you’re saying.
Look at this example from Mr. Beast.
Every single visual is matched perfectly to what Jimmy is saying.
And this isn’t an accident.
His team spends months meticulously mapping the visuals to each word to maximize comprehension.
The 2nd tip is called Hawk Eye Narratives.
When you storytell, you want it to feel like a hawk hunting for food.
Start super high in the sky and then dive down once you find a point of focus.
The best storytelling is delivered the same way…broad to narrow or high to low
First establishing the set-up clearly before diving into a specific point.
Too many people jump way too deep too soon and it creates confusion which nukes comprehension.
If you want to improve your storytelling, comment “story” and I’ll send you my doc with the 8 core storytelling principles.
These are the foundational building blocks to great stories and you can feed this into AI to instantly level up your storytelling.
