I came across this on another forum this morning.... Someone might wanna use it on you or you might wanna try it on people... The real key to success is making great products and putting a lot of hard work into them. Stay tuned......

SCAM TACTIC #1: Make sure you focus on a hopeful yet sort-of-dumb crowd. These are people who think internet riches are “a push of a button away!” These are people who subscribe to the idea they “deserve” to live a good life. These are people who dream of “finding a passive income source that requires no work!” This will be our target audience. By the time we apply some fancy copywriting and psychology to these gullible people, they’ll be willingly handing over their money. This kind of crowd doesn’t understand that success usually requires years of hard work. They want the end result, without the hard work. They want the shortcut to riches. They don’t want to hear about hard work. They want to bypass all that hard work, and get straight to the riches! So let’s fill them up with hope, then drain their wallets of cash ;-) Target psychological emotion: Greed and laziness. Now that we’ve identified our target audience, we can start getting them to trust us through simple manipulation…. |

SCAM TACTIC #2: Show them how badass your life is through pictures! We need to establish authority and wealth by showing cool shit we’ve done. Do this by showing pictures of cool things their broke asses can’t afford! If you take every cool thing you’ve done in your life and shove it into a few pictures, your life seems AWESOME. Show pictures of activities that poor people can’t do…..but YOU can because you’re such a baller!

SCAM TACTIC #3: Tell people they “deserve” a certain lifestyle. Bahahaha……this concept of “deserving” a certain lifestyle appeals directly to the most hopeless and gullible of people. You get bonus points if you make them think “a certain lifestyle can be theirs only if they believe!!” This is what a lot of life coaches and pastors the most do. They pump people full of belief with irrational logic. But you can’t use rational logic to explain this! You need to use vague quotes (preferably coupled with stock photos) People who are very hopeless tend to flock to vague-yet-plausible sounding advice like this. It gives them hope. It makes them trust you. It makes you seem like an inspirational figure. It makes them dream of the output of a successful business…..(of course it conveniently just “inspires” but never actually “teaches” anything valuable) ;-) These kind of vague images and quotes directly hit the “rewards” part of their brain. It fuels their desire to belong to an elite club where they do little work, have lots of leisure, and make tons of money. Target psychological emotion: Desire to belong, desire for freedom.

SCAM TACTIC #4: Don’t EVER get into the specifics of how you make money….just give business-y sounding advice! You see, since we’re going after a very hopeless audience, we don’t want to give REAL business advice. That stuff is too hard and work-intensive for them to care. We have to give them “business-y sounding advice” like this: ”Shiinzu Miyaki” isn’t even a real name, I just made that shit up whilst Photoshopping the image! But who cares……these idiots will never research it. These people don’t actually want to do work, but they want to “play entrepreneur.” So you need to make success look like it takes 2 hours a week, can be done from anywhere in the world, and always returns huge rewards. They don’t want to see hard things. That “work” stuff scares them. They want to see that you’ve figured out some push-button-solution that will solve all their problems.

SCAM TACTIC #5: Always show HUGE numbers, no matter how irrelevant they are. Make sure you add tons of bullshit numbers wherever you can! It doesn’t matter what the context is! You see….the reality of those numbers is BOOORRRINGG. We need to sex them up and let people ASSUME these numbers mean actual spending money we get to use. ALSO make sure to never take into account refunds, bank fees, sweat equity, taxes, paying employees or any of those other costs. We don’t want our list of idiots to realize those HUGE numbers we use isn’t actually profit ;-) If your product sucks so bad that you don’t even have big numbers to show…..just make them up!!

SCAM TACTIC #6: Don’t give any ACTUAL helpful information, just talk about the end benefits of it! Remember, we’re trying to scam people in the least amount of time, so don’t you DARE do anything helpful for these people! Don’t do helpful things AT ALL: Make sure you just keep pumping them up full of dreams, and only give them good information if they pay for it: The best part is……once we get their money, it DOESN’T MATTER how we tell them to make money! Just send them some crap-tastic eBook about working hard or something. SUCKERS!!!
