I’m a marketer. Trust me. I’m lying to you.

If you are deliberately trying to create a future that feels safe, you will willfully ignore the future that is likely. 
SETH GODIN, Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?


I’m a marketer. Trust me. I’m lying to you. 

I know what I’m talking about here. I have made millions of dollars selling people stuff on the Internet. I have a model for how it works and what I always show you. I call it the 3Ps and the formula is copyright pending (which doesn’t really matter since I give all my best shit away for free). So here you go. 

• Pain. You have a huge problem right now. (At least one!!) 

• Potential. You are dying to know that there’s a way to solve this problem. 

• Proof. You’re in luck! There IS a solution, JUST LOOK HOW IT WORKED FOR JIMMY! If you understand even that tiny bit you will be successful in sales.

NOBODY buys a product for what it actually does. They buy it because they were sold on the story of what the product was going to do for them.
