@Evie_Magazine just dropped a hot new dress and 𝕏 is melting down.

We say “hot” on purpose because, well, look at it.

Come with me as we analyze this brilliant viral marketing masterclass: Image @Evie_Magazine First of all, “raw milk” has gone from internet meme to real-world beverage preference thanks in part to Rep. Thomas Massie, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Ballerina Farms, whose founder Hannah Neeleman is Evie’s latest cover girl. The farm is known for raw milk. Image

LISTEN UP:

Men and women aren't the same.

So why would you persuade them the same way?

Here's the truth about persuasion:

• Women's minds = Spaghetti
• Men's minds = Waffles

WOMEN FIRST: Image REAL TALK:

Your current approach?

It's probably backwards.

You're using masculine persuasion on women.

Female persuasion on men.

And wondering why it fails.

So how to persuade women, we ask!

Being boring is the cardinal sin of writing.

There's nothing more anti-persuasive than boredom. 🤮

The reason being boring is anti-persuasive is...

THREAD Boring writing kills rapport.

Hypnosis teaches us that when you're in rapport with someone, you can lead them wherever you want them to go.

You can lead them to the right beliefs.

You can lead them to the right actions.

You can lead them.

I've ghostwritten over 70 books.

5 mistakes that have cost me thousands of hours along the way: Mistake #1: Asking clients what they want

Manipulation tactics you thought were relationship skills — and how to persuade instead.

Let's go.
🧵👇 Instead of, "I can't let you do that."

Say, "I see you wanting to do that! Where can we do that safely? How about over here?"

Because the other person will respect you for redirecting their energy in a productive way. You become a helper rather than a stifler.

I'm ghostauthor of over 70 books.

My perspective on writing has changed a lot over the past 11 years since I began ghostwriting.

Here are 5 lessons I'm taking into my next 70 books: Lesson #1: Grammar Is Irrelevant

11 years ago I believed spelling and grammar matter. 🤣

Why do editors at big publishing houses not care about grammar?

Because they care about ease of reading more.

If following a rule of grammar makes a sentence clunky, disobey that rule.
