A brick to the brain

by ChadHaynes
9 replies
You have just been hit in the head with a brick.

The doctors can't explain it – but the impact cleanly wiped all of the information you've gathered from every book you've ever read.

To make matters worse, your brain can now only hold 3 books' worth of information.

Which three do you want to re-read?

    I figure on three empty books & get writin'.

    Drill down on what I remember, mix an' match with what I now got.

    Yeah, 'cos that brick hurt so hard I forgot about Amazon.

    So now I'm readin' again, wiped to re-swiped.

    An' I figure it's always like this.

    I realize I don't need to re-read those books.
    I hire cubs and let them do the writing.
    I go on the talking circuit selling my book -

    "How A Brick Up Side My Head Made Me

    Harry Potter. Every time you finished the series you could be on the edge of your seat to read them again.

    Some cause-oriented hackers recently hacked one of my websites. So I researched what they're about and then donated a large sum of money to the entity they hate the most.

    The next time they hack one of my websites I'm going to donate DOUBLE.

    I prefer the second one " The doctors can't explain it – but the impact cleanly wiped all of the information you've gathered from every book you've ever read. "

    But of course, it depends on where you want to use it.

    Maybe not copywriting related....

    I'd read "Lateral Thinking" by Edward de Bono

    then....

    "It's Not Luck" by Eliyahu M. Goldratt...

    and then...probably...

    "How to get New Business in 90 days and keep it forever" by Wendy Evans.

    But I'd most likely add most of ThePromotionalGuy list and rotate until more and more stuck....

    ...that...or until they found a cure.

        Breakthrough Advertising to hammer home markets always change
        and to understand where your market is now so you aren't drowned
        out by everyone else.

        Positioning so you can understand it's a battle of perceptions
        in other peoples minds.

        Influence so you can see the auto responses in humans
        when they experience the laws of influence.

        Best,

    And a week of observation.

    I would take notes for a week about what I am currently seeing.
    And ask questions.

    Why are people buying THAT? Why buy from him?
    What is the message people respond to?
    Why are they acting like that?
    And so on.

    By OBSERVING human behavior, by looking at what they are buying, and all the questions that come with it...

    Even with NO prior knowledge of salesmanship, persuasion, motivation or copywriting...

    IF I had a week of Total Conscious Awareness of what was going on...

    I believe I could come up with some answers if I were trying to sell anyone anything...by studying the who, what, why, when and how...

    of NOW.
