Subjective vs Objective Messaging. Opinions vs facts online.
Subjective vs objective messaging. Opinions vs Facts online.

Subjective vs objective messaging. Opinions vs Facts.

With so many stating opinions as facts, while so many others jump to assume an opinion is a fact, it has brought even more anger online and a higher level of toxicity engagement between people that do not agree.

It may sound obvious to many, simple to others, and yet a great deal of people miss the boat or make the assumption that the intention of their message is going to be the perception of those receiving it.

Still, Messaging matters and that message without the consideration on the tone, the temperature, the tactics and the performance behind it, can get missed by so many and perceived incorrectly.

Subjective vs Objective Messaging: The lines have been blurred heavily when it comes to opinions and facts.

From those that push their opinions as facts in an arrogant and unprofessional way to those that share their opinions but do not clearly define that they are coming from a subjective standpoint.

“Is marketing the only message your audience is receiving? Consider becoming the author and publisher of your story, over just another person trying to sell a book with the same old ads, hype pr and spam style ads that are used by so many.”

Top 100 Loren Weisman Quotes: Considerations for Branding, Communication and Marketing

And then add to it that some out there want you to fail…

Sad but true, there are many out there looking to find a quote, a blog, a sentence or anything to make you look bad or has you making a statement they can contradict.

It happens in politics, business and even in romantic relationships. And while this can not be stopped, that extra level of clarification of the subjective vs objective messaging that you share online and off can help to some extent.

The answer… or an answer when it comes to subjective vs objective messaging?

1st, consider staying more toward the opinion and the substantiated opinion side of things. Your opinion can’t be wrong. Ever. Because in the end, it is what you feel and you believe.

On the other hand, stating a fact you can not back up, a fact that could no longer be true or a fact that might be only half true can set you up for trouble.

Staying with statements that are assertive, but placed in the subjective format can help in debate, conversations and communication. It can open as many doors for authority, while applying humility and honor for another persons views.

It can even help online with how the search engines and spiders see your content.

“Is marketing the only message your audience is receiving? Consider becoming the author and publisher of your story, over just another person trying to sell a book with the same old ads, hype pr and spam style ads that are used by so many.”

Subjective vs Objective Messaging It is not about justifying your views. It is about defining they are your views.

This kind of clarity and consistency in your content can allow you to be seen as an authority when you state something is a fact and at the same time, give people a clear differential of your views as you choose to (IMHO) humbly state an opinion.

Get away from saying this is a proven fact… and give the data to prove it. Stop sharing that studies have shown and share the links to the reputable studies.

Take that extra time to clarify which will in turn amplify your authority and authenticity.

It will not please everyone, but you will earn a greater level of authority when you state only facts you can back up, while clearly identifying when something is your opinion. That clarity in your content will help you stand out in a sea of those online those blurred lines between fact and opinion.

Clarify your opinions and facts online by stating your views clearly and backing up the facts with proof.

There are plenty that attack in anger and others responding online in fear.

The toxic aspects of communication and the lines that have been erased by some between fact and opinion have become overwhelming.

So how do you respond in fear or for that matter, how do your readers?

How do you clarify fact or how do your readers see you?

Again, this is not saying for you to change the style of who you are and how you write.

It is more about reinforcing and clarifying what you write, what you say and what you share.

When it is a fact, back up the fact with numerous sources. Call it a fact and prove it is a fact.

Subjective vs Objective Messaging or otherwise, and in the majority of cases:

Do not call it a fact. Take the humble route to share it as a reinforced opinion. Understand that others might not take that route. Honor that some opinions and views might be very different from yours. And move away from the guarantees, the promises of facts that can be contradicted.

And when it is an opinion. State it is an opinion, why it is an opinion and why you feel that way.

Closing Thought… In this shift, you may gain that much more authority and authenticity in sharing something through an opinion, over trying to force it as a fact… even if it is.

Telling your story or sharing someone else’s messaging and story?
Telling your story or sharing someone else’s messaging and story? Is it true for you? Or are you putting out the content, messaging and story that you think others want to hear?
Sharing another’s story and trying to make it yours is anything but authentic.

Are you telling your story and are you sure?

In a time where many seem to shift the story to make it fit for whoever is in front of them. In many cases and for many people, it is backfiring on the foundation and the authenticity of a brand or the person representing it.

Then ad AI and the prompts and who knows what they story really is or who the author is.

You can not be all things to everyone. And, in this time where too many try to be, it turns off and turns away potential connections, conversions and customers.

Is your brand messaging telling a story or is it telling your story?

“Is your brand messaging telling a story or is it telling your story?”

People are getting smarter online and reading through the false and the fake more than ever.

This is why it is not the time to be skimping on the honest communication and messaging. This is also why it is the time to layout a clear foundation of your brand discovery to brand development that showcases the true you and the true story.

Someone else’s messaging and story will not resonate with true authority in the end.

Even if you can spin the ads, the bio, the tag lines, the Ai Prompts and what ever else, your story will not be your story if it isn’t your true story. With all the fake out there, it is beginning to make people both recognize it and stay away from it. At the same time, those that have been taken or have felt foolish for believing are looking that much harder for the cracks in the story or the truth.

Mark Twain is said to have said but not confirmed it was him.. that “If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.”

Adding to that, if your story, all of your personal branding communication and brand messaging strategy is rooted in the truth of you, your story and honesty, then your message will penetrate that much better.

Stay true to yourself, to your story and your beliefs.

Hone in the authenticity to achieve the view of authority in your story. it will help to make you stand out in a way you can be proud of. At the same time, help others to engage you and feel honesty from you, right from the start.

“Is marketing the only message your audience is receiving? Consider becoming the author and publisher of your story, over just another person trying to sell a book with the same old ads, hype pr and spam style ads that are used by so many.”

Telling your story in segments and pieces can draw more interest and allow people to connect the pieces themselves.

Please Take the high road. Organize the messaging with the truth to have a foundation to share all things that are you and all things that are true. This approach also helps to avoid the brand force trauma that too many use to force a messaging or story down peoples throats.
