: 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

"What do people care about?" People will always share stories about what they love, care about, or have strong feelings toward/against.

"Can they relate?" Sad and/or very personal stories have a weird way of drawing out stories from others. Some people want to show you that you're not alone, and others feel safe enough to release a burden of their own by confessing their own story.

"Does your experience confirm/reject a bias that people tend to have?" People will always want to jump in and tell an opposite story or a confirming story that they've experienced, either to support or correct.
