ability to write sales copy is an attribute that not many people have. When writing a sales copy you need to realize that there are a lot of psychological principles that are involved in
process. Reverse psychology on
other hand, is even more powerful when it is used properly. In this article I am going to go over how reverse psychology works, how to apply it to a sales copy and when
best and effective time to use it is.
How Reverse Psychology Works
Reverse psychology is nothing more than a mind game you play and
object of
game is to confuse and distort
minds of others. I know it may sound complicated, but really it's not. In fact, you've probably used it and don't even realize it. Let me give you an example of how it works, so that you can fully comprehend it.
If you have children, you can probably relate to this. When you tell children not to do something, what's
first thing they do? They get into whatever it is that you just told them not to, why? Because you have accelerated their curiosity and desire to see what you have. If you were to apply reverse psychology, you would tell
child that they could have it. It wouldn't be fun anymore, you've taken away their desire to have it and as a result, they wouldn't want it. Moreover, you have accelerated
need to know why. Why are you giving it to them?
This does not only apply to children, this also applies to adults and they will react in
same way. If you were to apply
same scenario to an adult, they would react in
same manner as
child did.
