A free newsletter may be an easy sell anyhow, but I immediately started to get four times as many subscribers from the same traffic. When I first learned about them, I used them to rewrite the subscription page for my Newsletter. This simple paragraph uses many so-called “hypnotic sales techniques.” The idea is that by using the right words and techniques, you can put a person into a kind of “buying trance,” in which they are much more receptive to your offer. The last line directs the reader with “Use the form below.” The “order right now” is called an “embedded command,” because putting it in italics subtly draws attention to it, and influences a prospect without him noticing consciously. Sentence #6: Use the form below to order right now. This is a subtle way of getting the reader to accept the benefits of a product uncritically. The “and” is used to infer cause and effect (you’ll have the power because you used our product). Sentence #5: Just apply our simple methods, and you’ll have that power.

Questions involve a prospect more, and it is better to suggest an emotional state (by asking) than to tell a person how to feel. Sentence #4: Wouldn’t that feel great? This suggests a positive emotion and gets another yes. Helping a prospect to create a scene in their mind creates a desire for that scene to be a reality, and creates good feelings too. Sentence #3: “Imagine standing at the podium, knowing exactly what to say to make them love you.” The word “imagine,” gets the reader to do just that.

Sentence #2: What if it was easy? This suggests the possibility of a solution, creating hope and anticipation in the reader. It also introduces the problem, for which the solution is coming. Getting a prospect to say yes is a classic old technique that still works. Sentence #1: Does public speaking make you nervous? This gets the reader to say yes, which is habit-forming. Okay, let’s dissect the sales pitch, sentence-by-sentence. Wouldn’t that feel great? Just apply our simple methods, and you’ll have that power. “Does public speaking make you nervous? What if it was easy? Imagine standing at the podium, knowing exactly what to say to make them love you. Want to do the same? Would you like to learn a few subliminal advertising techniques? More importantly, I can protect myself from these techniques, or at least be sold the RIGHT things. Then, if I want to, I can use them too, when I believe it is ethical to do so. What I CAN do is learn the techniques that are used on me. After studying the subject for some time, I have come to accept that I will not just buy things, but I will be “sold” things, even by way of subliminal techniques. This just isn’t true, as any good salesman knows. We like to think our minds are entirely logical and immune to the influence of others. Some of us scoff at subliminal advertising techniques.

Here are a few of the best to use or watch out for. Do subliminal advertising techniques really work?
