Are You Comfortable Using FEAR to Sell Your SOLUTION?
...people who get at a deep level that success is way more than just money.
But when you're faced with deciding what emotions you want to target in your copy, and HOW, you can (and will) likely experience a lot of issues of conscience.
In fact...
I'm working with quite a few people right now who seem to have the same marketing conflict:
Should I use FEAR to sell my product or service?
Now, everyone has their own morals, values and beliefs.
However...
There are times when using FEAR is productive, especially if your SOLUTION can profoundly change people's lives in spectacular ways.
Whenever I target FEAR, I always get back to the positive aspects about how my SOLUTION can eliminate the discomfort each prospect is experiencing ASAP.
That being said...
I've seen a lot of copywriters and marketers in general go way too far in their attempt to target FEAR.
It ends up turning prospects off, rather than pushing the buttons that drive POSITIVE action.
So if you're thinking about going after the FEAR your prospects are likely feeling in your copy, make sure you use it sparingly...
...and get to the light at the end of the tunnel ASAP!

P.S. A lot of new age type people are trying to cash in on the whole 2012 thing. I've seen a lot of them target FEAR in ways that make it abundantly obvious that their supposed SOLUTION is a farce. Sometimes all FEAR does is make people search for the REAL AUTHORITY in your market.
P.P.S. Whenever you're thinking about targeting FEAR, ask yourself how you can alternatively focus on a more-minded positive tone first. People respond to HOPE as much as FEAR.
P.P.P.S. I noticed over the years that marketers who immediately gravitate towards exploiting FEAR are very often broke. Go figure. The FEARFUL leading the afraid?
