There are 3 dominant emotions in humans, that all types of marketing target. (Obviously, this is an oversimplification)

1- Fear
2- Greed
3- Sexual Desire

Learn to identify when you're being manipulated, and how you can use it as well.
Could save/make you nice money.
Most of the decisions we make are based on Fear/Greed, these are the powers that move markets.
When fear is dominant, the markets go down, when the greed is high and optimism rules - markets are up.

Marketeers know that and use it to manipulate people into giving them money.
"If you won't get an insurance, you might lose your home"

"If you don't act now, your wife will dump you in the future".

"If you don't follow these rules, you'll end up in hell!"

Basically, you're paying now to prevent a dire event in the future.
When they play to your greed, they have you use your imagination to picture the perfect dream life and guarantee you that this dream could be true, if you just open your mind and your wallet.

They show you a pic of their Lambo, pics from exotic islands and luxurious products.
"This all could be yours if you sign today to my 'Get Ultra Filthy Rich and Easy Money Printing Blueprint' that will give you the life you dream about! All for 497$ using a simple secret system that the rich guys don't want you to know about! Even my crippled grandpa does it!"
It's the same when it comes to Sexual desire.

We all want more/better sex with attractive partners, it's a natural desire that controls a lot of what we do.
That's why many commercials play to this desire.

Remember, effective marketing targets emotions.
"Buy this new fragrance for men! The ladies love it!"

"Follow this training program, it will give you the body ladies go wet on!"

"Sexy women love sexy cars!"

"Tired of being lonely and masturbating alone in your room? Buy my course 'Crafting the PlayBoy' and get the ladies!"
A note - I'm not against marketing or against courses.
This thread's intention is to make you aware of the psychological games in our world.

Don't let anyone manipulate you into spending your hard-earned cash, by selling you dreams and "secret formulas" or "special supplements"
