People learn in various ways. What is best for one person will be different for another. You will want to present your information to people in two or three different ways so that they can choose how they receive the information and you will be serving everyone’s individual needs.

The different ways of learning include visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile. A visual learner will search for ways to learn and take in information by reading and watching videos. They want to see it so that their brain can process and remember the information. The visual learner will look at you when you are talking to them.

An auditory learner wants to hear the information on a CD or on their mp3 player. They form their own pictures in their mind while they are listening. These people will generally be looking down or away from you when you talk to them, leading you to believe they may not be paying attention to you. They are just processing what they hear auditorily so that they can process it.

The kinesthetic learner wants to move around while they learn. They process information best when they can move their bodies. Their brains are wired for movement.

The tactile learner will want to print out an article or ebook or hold a book in their hands when learning. By touching the information the connection is made in their brain to retain the information.

When you write articles or ebooks, remember to repurpose the information so that you can include every type of learner. You can make recordings and videos using your written information and even print out your writing in hard copy for the tactile learners. There is no need to exclude anyone from what you have to offer.

Isabel Thomas Rodrigues asked:




The website content needs to be planned in a systematic manner so that it attracts the internet users and helps them find the right content in the shortest span of time. It should not take a regular internet user more than 20 seconds to find the content they are looking for, else it would prompt them to change and look for content elsewhere.

As compared to finding articles in books and journals, internet comes across as an easier option since it helps in finding the best content in the shortest span of time. In such a scenario, having the right website content is way too important. Listed below are some of the tips which will help you plan the right website content.

Articulate clearly

First and foremost, an article in a website should be clear and articulate. Efforts should be made to avoid use of many technical terms and the content of the article should comprise of simple keywords which are easy to find and understand. The website content should not contain any jargons and should comprise of simple language used on a daily basis. Keep your sentences short and simple so the reader can understand and interpret the information better.

Stick to specifics

Since most of the users resort to internet due to time constraints, the website content should not be lengthy carrying additional information which is irrelevant to the main topic. It would result in making the website content boring and non-interesting. The first few points mentioned in the article should be specific to the keywords and catch the interest of the readers and prepare the reader for any additional information once the primary requirement of the user from the article is satisfied.

Creating the first impression

In order to get best possible information as quickly as possible, it is quite common among internet users to go through hundreds of articles before finalizing on the best content. In such a scenario, the relevance of first few lines or sentences become very important. The quality of first few lines in website content gives a fair amount of idea of what to expect from the rest of the article. First few sentences in an article should consist of words and catchphrases which best defines the subject of the topic.

Importance of keywords

The most important part of any website content is the Keyword. Keyword is the gateway though which a user is able to find the website. These words are the words used by internet users to find the exact content they are looking for through various internet search engines. Most websites make the mistake of over-stuffing their content with keywords with the intention of getting better rankings among other search results but often end up in getting penalized by search engines for using keywords too many times. While including keywords in website content it should not look artificial and should make sense to the overall content of the website. The trick lies in the use of the right keyword at the right place in the article.

The above mentioned tips should prove helpful in creating and planning a website and provide sensible and accurate information to its visitors which would ultimately result in increasing the number of visitors to your website.

NLP Framework - Content Vs Process

Filed under: Self Improvement — Tags: , — admin @ 1:32 am
Steve Bauer asked:




As you progress in learning and mastering NLP, you’ll come across the content-process distinction in a number of books and seminars. This distinction is one of the lynchpins of NLP and “experts” are constantly debating where the boundary falls between content and process. How can we understand what they are talking about? What is content? What is process? Let’s use a metaphor to start understanding this.

Imagine a bag of apples. We’ll use this bag of apples as our example for content.

Now, imagine a fork, a blender and a juicer. We’ll use these tools as our example for process.

An apple can be processed in many different ways. Among them, you can squash them with a fork, you can purée them using a blender and you can juice them with a juicer. All the time, the content will remain the same: apples. But the way you process the apples will change the final outcome.

Now take this analogy over to thinking.

What you think is the content. How or the way you think it is the process.

Let’s take a lightly uncomfortable example. Let’s say you had an argument with a teacher when you were a kid and that episode marked you and let’s suppose that you keep rethinking that episode over and over, seeing a movie of your teacher arguing with you and hearing his voice in your memory.

The argument itself is the content. The movie and the voice is the process.

What would happen if you started processing the argument differently. First of all, accelerate the speed of the movie lightly, so that it’s playing at twice the speed. Next, blur it a bit and dim the lighting on the image. Next, pay attention to the accelerated voice, which is starting to sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks. Accelerate the whole thing until the sounds fades into a hum and the movie just becomes white light.

Now, how do you feel about it?

You altered the process, you altered the emotional outcome.

Now, why is this distinction important?

In most forms of changework, the therapist seeks to alter the content of his client’s thoughts. Returning to our apples analogy, the therapist would suggest that his client process oranges or bananas. Sometimes, this is just not possible or even ethical. It might mean imposing or forcing your view of the world and your beliefs on someone else. Working on process makes it possible to retain full integrity and respect of the client’s model of the world while allowing content shifts to occur naturally and spontaneously.

The motivational cliché “if life sends you lemons, make lemonade” illustrates the content-process distinction quite appropriately. Shift the process and you’ll shift the outcome.

When we start speaking of modality distinctions in future posts, you’ll learn all the ways in which you can modulate your own and other people’s thinking processes.

Meanwhile, begin playing with the content-process distinction. Let’s try a few games:

Process the thought of a train through your kinesthetic or “feeling” channel. Process the thought of your mother through your olfactory or “smell” channel. Process the thought of your final exams through your gustatory or “taste” channel. Process the thought of your favorite food through your auditory or “hearing” channel. Process the thought of water rehydrating all of your body cells through your visual or “seeing” channel.

Give these exercises a shot and let me know what you discovered!
