Paint With Words

"Soooo....You want me to sign up huh?"
"Every site out there seems to think they are the best thing since shirt pocket! If you want them to buy, you must SELL! What are the benefits of my signing up with you as opposed to joe schmoe down the avenue?"

Marketing 101 (features versus benefits). A quick jaunt around the net will reveal that not very many are people are telling us what the benefits are in signing on with them. Yet, the impact of POWER WORDS explaining benefits are what spark that emotion in us to open our wallets and purses.

Your focus should always be on emotions and not intellect. Emotions are most certainly the doorway to making any buying decision. "People usually buy on emotion and then they justify it with logic." (Zig Ziglar) It makes sense then to appeal to the buyers emotions a priority. Benefits=emotions, Features=logic. There are those that swear that they buy on logic, but that is simply because it "makes them feel better" about the purchase.

The biggest problems we have in the Adult Industry, is that we are looking at our sites from the inside instead of from the surfers perspective. We must learn to identfy our benefits and convey them to the buyer.

Most products will have four things in common.
(1) Features......what every product has
(2) Advantages....what the features of the product does
(3) Benefits......what each of the features mean
(4) Motives.......what the features will satisfy in the buyer


Try listing all of your sites features. Then make another list, listing standards, technical, supportive and abstract features. For each feature, make still another list of advantages, and benefits. And another of the motives. Try to think outside the box. Revert back to surfer mode.

In closing, try to paint an image in the surfers mind with words that are based on emotion. "Paint With Words"

Roulette

Roulette is one of the easiest games to play and understand in the casino. But, the easier a game is to understand the greater the house edge.

One difference between roulette and all other table games is that roulette chips have no value denomination printed on them. This actually is the true definition of a chip, one which indicates its value is technically called a check. The roulette table comes with six to eight sets of different colored chips, each set consisting of 300 chips. When a player buys-in they get their own color and the value would be the buy-in divided by the number of chips received. The dealer will place a token on top of the dealer's stack of that color of chips to indicate the value
