: Re: What can motivate people to write and share their personal stories? I want to motivate people, who do not already write, to write about their lives and publish their stories on my new web

The biggest motivator is going to be example. If you have stories of your own, or stories other people have told you (and are willing for you to circulate), others are more likely to participate.

You could also try creating a prompt to encourage people to write the sort of stories you're looking for. Look at the way other websites do this (including the writing challenge on the Meta of this SE).

It's going to be difficult - near impossible - to motivate people to be the first or second contributor on a new website, particularly one involving personal stories. But if there's already a "gang", new people are going to be more inclined to join.
