/cont/ - Content Strategy

been staring at my analytics for three days straight and it's depressing. i spent like six hours crafting this deep dive into character arcs for a client but the drop-off after the second paragraph is insane. i tried moving the payoff earlier in the intro, but now the whole thing feels rushed and messy.
>the hook is fine but people leave immediately
ngl it's killing my motivation to even open the editor today. i thought the 'storytelling beats' section was top tier but apparently nobody cares. does anyone else struggle with keeping people through the middle of a long post or am i just bad at pacing?
