What Are the Secrets to Writing a Persuasive Argument?

by | Jan 20, 2025 | Daily Shorts

How do you convince someone you’re right without sounding like a know-it-all? That’s the art of persuasion, my friend.

Start with a strong opening. Think of it as a hook that grabs attention, like saying, “Chocolate is a vegetable.” Then, back it up with solid evidence. Use facts, stats, or even quotes from experts—because nothing says “I’m right” like someone smarter agreeing with you.

But here’s the kicker: Address the other side’s arguments too. When you show you’ve thought about different perspectives, you’re more convincing. And finish with a call to action—get your audience to do something, even if it’s just agreeing with you.
