The Ultimate Trick to Get People To Buy Something!
The legendary copywriter Gary Halbert once said, "If you want people to buy something, stomp on their greed glands until they bleed."
Graphic, yes, but it's also the SINGLE most important piece of selling advice I could give you as an Affiliate Marketer.
As I like to say, people's favorite radio station is 'WIFM', or "What's in it for me?"
When selling anything, online or off, always ask the question, "How can I appeal to what THEY want, specifically them?
Dale Carnegie once said,
“Personally I am very fond of strawberries and cream, but I have found that for some strange reason, fish prefer worms. So when I went fishing, I didn’t think about what I wanted. I thought about what they wanted. I didn't bait the hook with strawberries and cream. Rather, I dangled a worm in front of the fish and said: "Wouldn't you like to have that?"
Why not use the same common sense when fishing for people?
Adopt and integrate this sales philosophy into your affiliate marketering strategy and your sucess will skyrocket like you can't even imagine...
There you go, the best sales advice you'll ever get!

Hi Trevor,
I love Dale Carnegie as well! It sounds ridiculous, but I have read How to Win Friends and Influence People 63 times (I keep count) lol.
It is one of those books that truly changed the trajectory of my life.

Very sound advice Koda. To often we assume that people will want something just because we want it. Jim
Hi Jim,
Very true, I myself am guilty of assuming from time to time as well! I just find that my success selling is ALWAYS highest when I think in terms of when THEY want as opposed to what I want :D
Thanks for the comment!

At this time that is what is used intensively in politics.
Politicians give people want they want to hear. Even if the politician doesn't believe in that.
Politicians are great salespersons.
They promise illogical things and people vote for them.
They sell promises, and people buy them with votes (not money).
Honest and legitimate politicians don't win votes. Liars do.
That is why scammers are intensively successful. And we honest and legitimate marketers have such a hard time selling something.
People buy what they want and not necessarily what they need.
You have to dig into their emotions not intelligence to sell them something even if it is for their benefit.
So yes, sell them worms not strawberries.
You will make them very happy.
Blessings.

"You have to dig into their emotions not intelligence to sell them something" .... Couldn't have said it better myself, my friend (;
Always sell them worms, not strawberries.
And yes, this is precisely the method that too many politicians are masters of.
Thanks for your valuable input, Luis.
