The Fear Formula (PAS)
P Problem
A Agitation
S Solution

In this thread I will explain PAS
Warning!

This formula is about fear, which (like any psychological informed method of persuasion) is ripe for abuse and manipulation

So, I’m going to start by assuming one thing: you will use this power for good, not evil.
As I have said before; Fear is a primal motivator.

Why?

Because, up until the last few centuries of human experience, that rustling in the bush behind you was the last thing you ever heard.
A split second, and you’re as good as dead..

What does fear have to do with Persuasion?
Everything!

The basic principle is simple: people want to avoid loss more than they want to acquire gain.
@HennekeD of Enchanting Marketing has this to say about PAS:

"PAS is powerful because problems can attract even more attention than benefit. People want to avoid pain, hassle, risks, glitches, and problems."
It is for this reason PAS is great.

Another reason PAS is great is because it forces you to focus on the benefit your product will provide to your prospect.

So you see,
PAS compels you to think about the pain point of your prospect so as to position your products or service as a solution to this pain.

There are 3 things you must do to get the best out of this formula.

1 Make the problem clear.

2 Inject emotion: tap into their anger, resentment….make the problem bigger.

3. Unveil the solution.
Thanks for sharing.

Writing for fun can make you a millionaire.

But It could take you years to become one.

Why?

Because you can face massive rejection like @jk_rowling.

What keeps you going during this time?

Many people today are living hand to mouth and suffering,
Abject poverty is their friend.

Not because they want but because of seeming helplessness. It doesn't have to be that way.

There's a way to fund your passion.

There's a way to write the books you are passionate about while living a life of comfort.

It may not make you a multimillionaire in dollars but it will handle your bills.

And fund your vacation dreams. Not only that -your kids will be able to leave a comfortable life because this stream runs on autopilot once set up.

Nuggets Shared From My Study of #Expert Secret.

1. You have something special inside you. Something you know. Something you do. Something you can teach

@theRealKiyosaki
True growth and fulfilment comes from your contribution to others. But

Your message can change a person's life only if you know how to get it into the lives of those you have been called to change.
The true value of an expert business isn't the money you make but the people's lives you're able to change through your message

72 Ig and violence.

A friend here on Fb said if you are only selling 72ig you are a fake marketer.

How true is this statement?

In the comment people came out blazing -attacking some of the top affiliate for promoting a single product.

Thread
While it seems there is substance in the criticism, I will mention 3 reasons 72IG is massively promoted compared to other program on expertnaire.

1. It is a brilliant course

If you want to master selling in Nigeria, it is one course I recommend.
The curriculum is simple and if implemented will consistently yield the result you seek.

2. It has an irresistible offer

Affiliates will gravitate to a product that has an irresistible offer. In fact any product with a hard to refuse offer will sell like water.
