"Why do people follow a specific Content Creator?" by Neurologist Siddharth Warrier May 07, 2021

Show notes

Do you want to grow your followers thoughtfully?
Do you want people to follow you and love your content?
Well then, you need to know the audience’s likes and dislikes and their thought process while consuming content. And that’s what Siddharth has spoken about in this podcast.
He says, “If you have the knowledge and can’t express it, it comes out as jargon” and for that, you need good communication skills. And then as a speaker myself, it made me wonder, what’s exactly responsible for communicating well with the audience? How does one bring out the best content piece? What part of the brain involves understanding these things? Yes! I’ve asked him these, and his answers will blow your mind off.
Eventually, he also talks about, what makes COMMON SENSE, and why is common sense not so common, haha.
Tune in to hear Siddharth Warrier talk about content consumption, creation and tonnes of things that revolves all-around your thought process while you’re on social media.
