Why People Scroll Past Good Content
How to make content memorable

Some posts stop us.
Some pass like a whisper.
The difference isn’t design.
It’s the moment a reader feels something — a memory, a hit of truth, a solution to a problem.
This week, we’re exploring how to create content that stays with people long after they scroll.
Lets dive in.

The Little Red Detail | Susan Balding
Good content is everywhere.
That’s the problem.
It’s valuable. Well-written. Helpful.
But it blends in.
Memorable content breaks pattern.
It makes you feel something.
It solves a real problem.
The problem isn’t that people are posting bad content.
The problem is that good content blends in, but memorable content breaks pattern, triggers emotion, or solves something real.
The problem isn’t that your content isn’t good.
Most content online is good.
It’s useful.
Informative.
Well-designed.
Well-written.
Memorable content makes people feel something.
It triggers emotion — curiosity, recognition, nostalgia, relief, comfort, a spark of “that’s me.”
It becomes the post someone saves.
Screenshot.
Returns to later.
Shares it.

Reading Good Content | Susan Balding
Good content looks like:
Tips
Lists
How-to’s
Educational value
Memorable content looks like:
A relatable truth
A story someone sees themselves in
A sentence that hits like a realization
An image that feels like a memory
A solution delivered at the right moment
Good content teaches.
Great content transforms.
So what makes content memorable?
Here’s the simplest way to think about it:
How to Create Content That Sticks
Try adding one of these into your next post:
✨ Tell a small moment as a story
✨ Use one striking visual detail
✨ Share the truth people think, but don’t say
✨ Speak to one person, not the whole internet
✨ Give a solution to one real frustration
