Hey Derek,

Just what I need to read about at the moment. Very handy tips you’ve got there. Now it is just finding the right balance to get all 3 incentives together so that people will buy.

To get people to buy, read content or pay for your services, one should write down a list of the things their target audience needs/wants then find how to drop solutions on posts, products and services.

It might work. It might fire. All that matters is belief that you have a plan that you believe in, a plan that you’ll wake up to implement daily (with minor tweakings) till you surpass your expectations.

Happy blogging.

I’ll reply to myself:

1.- Brad Dalton’s comment had what I was looking for.
2.- Remember to read the previous comments before posting your own.

Have a good weekend.

Hi Derek,

Would it be possible if you (or may be a reader?) provide an example of a post pointing where and how the editor aims to those three incentives? It’d help me (and may be others like me) to get the picture better.

I hope it’s not too much

Thanks a lot!

I am definitely with Brad on this one…

1. Identifying a problem/difficulty in the reader’s mind.
2. “Worsen” the situation and consequences if he/she doesn’t TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY to solve the issue.
3. You have the solution to their problem…and even better, if they ACT RIGHT NOW the sooner they will see the results, by using your products.services/advice.

Thanks for the topic Derek; think it’s necessary for every successful entrepreneur/marketer out there to reflect back to this from time to time, no matter what your level of experience is.

Great Post Derek, as usual.
These points (incentives) really work well. The social incentives thing is best utilized by Pat from SPI blog. All his posts makes me think that his content is the coolest and all other blogs are nerdy 🙂

I have also started liking DIYthemes blog a lot now (And all the Credit goes to you, Derek, for the amazing (and actionable) content you put here).

Keep up the good work!
