What Inspires You May Inspire Your Audience
Inspiration is all around us:
The elation we f eel about a loved one
overcoming a lif e threatening illness.
The encouragement we f eel listening to the
story of someone overcoming adversity.
The optimism we f eel reading about someone,
who perhaps like you, started with nothing and
built a multi-million dollar empire.
Whatever the source of inspiration may be,
inspirational stories give us vision and scope. They
motivate us to seek out ways to better ourselves and
the lives of those around us. It’s f or these reasons
that inspirational stories are such a great source f or
articles.
The Inspirational Story Article Template
First, take a trip down memory lane and brainstorm
inspiring experiences, events, people, and even books
that you’ve encountered in your lif e. It could be someone you know or maybe even a person/situation
that you’ve read about.
Next, select one of those inspirational stories. If the story isn’t directly related to your niche, does it
remind you of a particular topic, strategy, etc. in your niche? Create a list of relevant topics that
correspond with your inspirational story and select the strongest topic.
Finally, inspire your readers using the f ollowing template:
Introduction: Provide the reader with a short summary of the story. Create a WIIFM (what’s in it
f or me) ef f ect by illustrating how your hero of the story relates to the reader. Let’s say you’re
writing about Dan, an inspirational f riend, who climbed the highest of high mountains even though
he has asthma. Introduce Dan, why his story is relevant to readers, and provide a quick overview of

his story.
Strategies/Tips: Extract tips or strategies f rom the story that benef it readers. Tie each of
these tips or strategies into your niche by outlining them using a list f ormat. Be as specif ic as
possible when you’re listing your tips. Compare a specif ic example f rom the inspirational story to a
specif ic example of what occurs in your niche. In our previous example, we can pick out 3 universal
traits (humor, perseverance, and support) that Dan exhibited in his tremendous f eat and can easily
apply them our niche.
Conclusion: What’s the moral of the story? Tie up any loose ends and provide a moral to the
inspirational story and how it applies to your niche. If you can, let the reader know what your hero
is doing today or what his or her next great f eat will be.
Share your motivating and moving stories with the Inspiration Article Template. Inspiration is a great way
to hearten and entertain your readers to build trust and exposure while providing valuable inf ormation in
