[Comprehensive Guide] Basic Guidelines for Story Writing
From story structure design to writing the opening, and the final line that captivates supporters
wadiz Storywriting— Basic Guide.
On wadiz, a “Story” refers to a product detail page—the page where you introduce the product you’re selling. However, due to the nature of crowdfunding, creating a wadiz Story requires a slightly different approach than a typical product detail page. That’s why many makers find it challenging to write their Stories.
But don’t worry. We’ll walk you through everything—from the basic elements of a Story to the formula for writing a high-converting Story, and even how to craft that one key line that captures supporters’ attention.
✔️ First, check out our 20-minute video on the wadiz Story writing guide on our YouTube channel.
✔️ Then, follow the detailed instructions in the guide below step by step, and before you know it, you’ll find yourself with a finished Story!

It’s important to weave your story as a maker into the main body of the narrative.
Therefore, it’s a good idea to weave in your <PLANNING/development history>—such as the inspiration behind the product, the production process, and the challenges you faced during the project—into the Story. It’s also important to highlight <YOUR expertise> through your qualifications, career, and background to build trust in the project.
Of course, summarizing the key features of the Rewards into about three points and presenting them clearly is the absolute foundation, right?
Among these, writing a strong opening—which serves as the introduction to your Story—is particularly important.
Please pay close attention to the guide below to understand why the opening is important and how to write it effectively. Once you’ve written a strong opening, the main body will be much easier to write. After all, you’re the maker who knows your product best!
