Who doesn’t love a funny joke? Are you more likely to want to read something that is serious, or something that is funny? Humor is a way to attract others. According to a possibly true rumor, humor can be a draw that is greater than looks! All you need is to be funny (and in this case, also have valuable content on your website), you do not have to be hot or attractive.
Captivating
The picture above may not catch your eye but imagine that this kind boy said a funny joke. He completes his joke by signing off with classic finger guns. Forget what kind of glasses he is wearing; you are compelled to laugh or at least chuckle. Humor captivates your audience because your audience will come back for more. When you give your users a taste of humor they will be captivated by your content and come running back into your website’s hypothetical arms.
Entertaining
Humor is entertaining. It is recommended to add other elements of entertainment on your website besides humor, however a taste of humor can improve a mountain of content. Imagine that your friend says they are going to purchase a Blue French Bulldog. After the purchase, they casually comment about “pawsibly” purchasing another for friendship purposes. Ok, maybe your humor can be more elevated than that joke, but the point still barks…er… I mean stands.
Spread the Joy
When you see something funny, do you feel a deep unexplainable urge to share it with others? Yes! Why not spread the joy! If your content has the right combination of intellect and humor, you may have surpassed your competition. Not only will people enjoy reading your website, but they will share it with their friends, almost like Instagram reels. Potentially, if you are funny enough, you may be the neighborhood’s favorite website. If that doesn’t satisfy you, then be patient, users are always secretly hoping for a speck of humor wherever they can find it.
