8 Tips How to Write the Perfect Sociopath

Sociopaths are hiding everywhere in our society. They are lying through their teeth. They are scamming people daily and feel little to no remorse about it.

If you are writing a story and you want your protagonist or antagonist to be a sociopath you will need to think through some key ideas to make sure they come to life on your page and are interesting and believable to your readers.

8 Tips How to Write the Perfect Sociopath

# 1. 8 Tips How to Write the Perfect Sociopath: They are willing to violate the rights of others.

If we want to write a sociopath well, we need to understand their motives.

They enjoy being able to dominate others. They use this desire to justify getting whatever they want from an individual or individuals.

They want their possessions, jobs, businesses, money, fame, family, friends, cars, homes, investments, reputations and more.

Anything of value someone else owns that they don’t have they are willing and will try to dominate someone else for.

They do not see the value in working or taking time to earn these things for themselves. They would much rather take it from someone else and avoid the work if at all possible.

Any rights someone has the sociopath is more than willing to violate to take these things from someone else and they may even feel as though they deserve it and the possessor does not, because they believe they are smarter than anyone else. They are extreme Narcissists.

They may have the knowledge that such behavior is wrong, but they will not empathize with anyone so they will not think about what it is like to have things taken from them. They are just thinking of getting what they can get out of the relationship.

Example: A sociopath is extremely likely to use blackmail as a mode to take from others what they want from them. Blackmail is an easy way to hold power over someone else and get them to do what your sociopath wants, “or else.”

# 2. 8 Tips How to Write the Perfect Sociopath: They love the feeling of dominating others just to feel powerful.

While some sociopaths want something from you and are willing to violate your rights to get it, the worst sociopaths want something even more sinister.

They want you just so they can feel the power of dominating you.

This type of sinister sociopath can be hiding in a cheerleader outfit giving commands to the cheer troop and bullying girls they feel threatened by.

The sociopath that loves the feeling of dominating people can be hiding in any authoritative role.

They could be a teacher enjoying commanding students to do whatever project they throw at them or a police officer pulling unsuspecting victims over just to show them how powerless they are.

They may be your boss at work. Any time you have an idea that could threaten their dominance they will consider you a threat and make sure your idea never makes it anywhere or they will find a way to steal your idea and rub it in your face when the opportunity comes.

# 3. 8 Tips How to Write the Perfect Sociopath: Sociopaths lack a conscience.

Sociopaths have no little to absolutely no conscience.

Don’t expect them to feel bad for anything they are doing to get ahead. If you start to feel like one may like you or is helping you think again, they are only doing completely selfish things.

In fact, if your character has a sociopath helping them they better watch out.

Any favors your sociopath does for anyone else they are tallying it all up. “You owe me.” is their life mantra.

Example: Your sociopath comes to their manager and notifies the manager that an employee is stealing. The manager fires the employee and praises and awards the sociopath with a small raise and more hours around their schedule.

The sociopath feels as though they earned the raise and helped the manager at the same time, therefore the manager “still owes” the sociopath something.

The Sociopath asks the manager to be paid to take off Friday so they can hang out with a friend. The manager thinks this is ridiculous and politely says “that won’t work.”

The sociopath is confused and says “but I helped you with the thief, you owe me.”

The manager thinks this is also a strange notion. It is way outside the social norms of the professional workplace. “I don’t owe you anything. You did your job. I didn’t even have to get you that raise and more hours.”

This will inevitably infuriate the greedy sociopath and they will be out for revenge as they have been “slighted” by the manager. The sociopath would be fuming, “how dare they treat me this way, after all I’ve done for them.”

That manager will soon be finding some problems in the workplace or even more sinister, at home because they unwittingly slighted the sociopath hiding in their office.

# 4. 8 Tips How to Write the Perfect Sociopath: They are fast talkers.

They are schemers and along with that scheming, they will be plotting and practicing self-made scripts for the people that they have to “deal” with on a daily basis to get what they want.

This type of methodically planning and plotting can make them fast talkers.

They will be thinking about how to get away with their mission and goals.

They are quick to opt-out for fabricating rather than earning the truth and what it brings them.

Watch out for fast stories with big plans and big moves. If your sociopath is talking fast your character can look a little into their real life and see that there are no real plans, just a lot of fast talk.

They LOVE to use powerful phrases that are COMPLETELY EMPTY on their end: “I love you. I will never hurt you. If you do this for me I will pay you back tomorrow. Believe me. I’ll give you the world, just do as I say.”

They also will use negative words to control you and manipulate your characters: “I never thought you would hurt me so badly, you can make it up to me by buying me lunch. You’ve been a terrible employee, mop the floors tonight and I’ll think about letting it slide. I would never lie to you, but here you are deceiving me.”

They find a way to turn everything around on your other characters and they are never wrong in their own minds.

# 5. 8 Tips How to Write the Perfect Sociopath: They will say and do whatever they need to for the moment.

They will do and say whatever they need to, this will make them a bit of a chameleon, changing their colors and stripes for the “needed” situation.

They know that one of your characters is easily manipulated by flattery so they will flatter that one when they are around them.

But at the drop of a hat when they encounter a cowardly character that they know they can manipulate with threats they will instantly become mean and threatening, threatening to not be that character’s friend anymore if they don’t do what they say.

# 6. 8 Tips How to Write the Perfect Sociopath: A sociopath will make your other characters feel certain emotions.

Your character may see some red flags about the sociopath. It could be a school mate that at first seems extremely friendly, but then in a moment, the character feels oddly threatened by them.

To write an interesting sociopath they have an extreme energy and are able to charm people quickly.

They can easily sweep your character off their feet, only to find out they are in a grave situation just a little too late.

They can make an amazing impression at a job interview only get the job and later cause a giant mess.

They take advantage of people’s sympathy. Your character could be well-meaning and be duped by the sociopath into given them too much too quickly.

Sociopaths prey on sympathetic characters.

# 7. 8 Tips How to Write the Perfect Sociopath: The perfect sociopath will blame anyone but themselves.

Your sociopath will find a way to blame anyone and anything above their own willful choices if your character confronts them, and don’t forget they are chronic liars. And they will always look for a way to make you feel bad in the process.

Example: “I would have paid you back but my mom needed the money to pay for her groceries. I’ll pay you back next week.” “I was going to pick you up from school but the dog used the bathroom on the carpet. That dog that you just had to have, now get in there and clean it up.” “I would have come to your recital but traffic was so bad that it made me so late that I came back home instead.”

# 8. 8 Tips How to Write the Perfect Sociopath: They like to target certain people.

Sociopaths either target people they know they can get things from or people that engage with them.

If your character fights back the sociopath will feed off this and will continue to act cruelly toward them.

Your sociopath will also go after characters that they can get an emotional reaction from. They will be disinterested in characters that don’t seem to be affected by them, but they will hone in on those that they can make angry or afraid. Both emotional reaction they are stimulated by.

Take these tips and write your perfect sociopath.

8 Tips How to Write the Perfect Sociopath

Why Aren’t My Emails Getting Opened and Read?

Email marketing. Email opens. Email reads. Email conversion.

June 18, 2019March 17, 2021 ~ Jeremy ~ Leave a comment

Email marketing. email opens. email conversion. blogging for beginners.

You might be wondering, “Why aren’t my emails getting opened and read?”

Hopefully, with this list, you will get better open rates and more people reading and clicking your emails in no time.

You can’t just send your list anything.

You have to know your list and know their problems so you can send them something they are interested in reading.

If you are trying to tell your list about great kitchen products, don’t just tell them about how great the item is.

Make sure to say what PROBLEMS the item solves.

Things to think about when creating emails that will get open and read:

Put your best foot forward.
Who are you writing to?
What will make them open the email?
Tell me about my problem, not your product
Make your text easy to skim through

#1 Put Your Best Foot Forward

First impressions are extremely powerful.

In all aspects of life if you give a bad first impression it is unlikely the person will give you a second chance.

This is escalated with email. If you land in their inbox with junky info or annoying them…unsubscribe, delete, done, bye.

The same goes for a good first impression.

If you give a great first impression, but mess up later on down the road, they are likely to give you a 2nd and maybe even a third or fourth chance before they hit the DREADED unsubscribe!

Use this knowledge to your advantage.

When you have 1st-time subscribers, make sure to welcome them and give them something SO AMAZING that they’ll be looking forward to your next email with excitement.

Give them a reason to want to open every email and keep you in their inbox for years to come. But the first opened email is one of the most important.

#2 Who are you writing to?

If you want your list to look forward to seeing your emails in their inbox then you need to know them.

What are their doubts, worries, and fears?

Go to forums, FaceBook groups, and places like Amazon reviews to see what your audience has to say and think about products like yours and the problems they are facing right now.

Try to notice patterns in what they say and do your best to use wording and phrasing the same way the majority does.

This will help you resonate with most of your audience and they will be thinking “It’s like you read my mind!” “You must have the answer to my problems!”

If you can resonate with them, they will likely try your product or listen to you and if you solve their problem the first time, they will very likely come back for more.

#3 What will make more people open the email?

How do you get potential readers to open your emails?

Make sure you are capturing the RIGHT audience. If your lead magnet is drawing in people that care about blogging and you’re trying to tell them about cars, you aren’t going to get many openings.
Focus on your headline. Create email headlines that make people curious and have a promise to make their life better if they open it.
Use stories. As humans, we are obsessed with stories. If you can promise a good story with an open, you are much more likely to get it.
Think about what questions you can answer for them.
VERY IMPORTANT: IF you make a promise to deliver an answer to a problem, MAKE SURE YOU DELIVER. Clickbait will get good openings once, but after that, you are the boy who cried wolf, no one will listen to you.

#4 Tell me about my problem, not your product

Already own a blog? Are You using ADSENSE? Monetize with Ezoic. Make 5X-10X more on ads with Ezoic! See for yourself. – These ads use machine learning. Set it and leave it.

If you want to get your emails read you need to make sure that you know what your subscribers’ problems are.

Once you know their problems, you can talk about their problem and tell them about the solution to their problem.

If you talk to them about their problem and you are spot on they will read on or skim through to find an answer.

Only highlight the benefits of your product after you’ve covered all their potential problems.

Change your mindset. Right now you are thinking, “how can I get them to buy this product?”

That’s the wrong question.

You should be asking, “What are the problems this product solves for my reader?”

Spend most of your time writing to them about their problems and then you can tell them about how your item, service, or product solves their problems and they are going to read and be curious.

It is great at this point if you can tell them how the product solved your problems or if you have customer testimonies to talk about how it solved their problems.

If you are able to do this effectively and they don’t seem to be interested, maybe it’s time to upgrade the product or make sure you have captured the right email audience.

#5 Make your email text simple and readable.

This should be obvious, but you’d be surprised how many emails get opened and skipped because the content was too much and too “blocky” for the recipient to even want to try to read, let alone get any enjoyment out of.

Make your email text readable by creating 1 to 2 sentences per paragraph, instead of creating a BIG BLOCK of text.

Which is easier to read?:

I went for a walk. It was nice. I saw a dog and a cat and my next door neighbor. I said hi and they said hi. It was a nice walk on a sunny day. The temperature wasn’t too hot or too cold. While I was walking I saw a snail. The snail said hi, I said hi back. It was clear that he didn’t want to see me, so I quickly walked on. I almost stepped on him, but I didn’t, I’m glad I didn’t as his mother might have sued. I’m glad I didn’t get sued on my morning walk on the nice warm sun shiny day in October.

Or this:

I went for a walk. It was nice. I saw a dog and a cat and my next door neighbor. I said hi and they said hi.

It was a nice walk on a sunny day. The temperature wasn’t too hot or too cold.

While I was walking, I saw a snail. The snail said hi, I said hi back. It was clear that he didn’t want to see me, so I quickly walked on.

I almost stepped on him, but I didn’t, I’m glad I didn’t as his mother might have sued.

I’m glad I didn’t get sued on my morning walk on the nice warm sun shiny day in October.

Use this technique and pla around with it to create emails that are easy on their eyes, easy to skim, and easy to read.

You should make your writing easy to skim and lead them to what you want by using Bold, Italics, underlining and colored text.

By making certain text pop out you can draw their eyes to the main things you want them to read.

How to make money blogging: 11 simple steps to start blogging for money

how to make money blogging, simple steps, start blogging for money

May 21, 2019March 16, 2021 ~ Jeremy ~ Leave a comment

How to make money blogging: 11 simple steps to start blogging for money

How to make money blogging:

Through affiliate links
Sponsorships
How to make money blogging through ads
Make money blogging through digital products
Through a membership subscription site
Use your blog to make money through clients
How to make money blogging through reviews
Drive traffic to your site
Choose a blog host
Choose a blog domain name
Choose your blogging platform

1. Make money blogging with affiliate links

Many bloggers make a decent living by using affiliate links on their blog sites.

An affiliate link is a website link in their post that when clicked on and used pays out money.

Affiliate links can pay out for several reasons:

Payout for a purchase through the link (most common)
Payout for signing up for something
Payout for clicks (uncommon)
Payout for taking certain action through the link

A good example of a company that pays out for a purchase would be Bluehost. They have an affiliate program that pays out a decent commission when someone uses your link to buy their web hosting service.

You can find their program here.

An example of a company that pays for free sign-ups would be Ebates.

Sign up and get $10 right now for starting out and then you can start making referrals on your social media and blog and you can get $25 per sign up unlimited. That’s not bad.

Affiliate links are a great way to make money blogging because the payouts can be very high.

In fact, Kinsta offers big payouts and lifetime royalties for sign-ups you get as an affiliate.

You can see Kinsta offers here.

For more detailed info on Affiliate Marketing see this post: How to Make Money As a Blogger with Affiliate Marketing for Beginners!

2. Use your blog to get paid sponsorships

You can make money blogging through sponsorships.

A sponsorship is basically when a company hires you to do a specific post or campaign for them on your blog. They pay you an agreed amount to make the post and promote it. It is another way for companies to use your blog to advertise to their ideal customers.

Expect to get sponsorships after creating heavy traffic to your blog consistently.

Getting sponsorships is closely related to getting freelance work, but you’re not gonna get a sponsorship without a blog or a large social following.

If you want to look for sponsorships to monetize your blog you are going to need to create more traffic to your blog through social media and SEO.

3. Make money blogging with ads

Ads is an easy simple no brainer way of making money with your blog.

If you generate traffic daily, there is no reason for you not to have a few ads making you extra money.

Ads work when you get views and clicks. The amount of money you make per view or per click is completely up to the program you sign up with.

There are program stipulations you need to be aware of for each program. Some are more lenient than others, but some won’t accept your application if you don’t have enough site views.

It might not be a good money maker starting out, but if you have a decent flow of traffic it can be a very passive income as you just set the ads on your page and that’s all you really have to do. After that, the amount you make really depends on your traffic.

Be aware that having ads on your page can slow your page down and some readers will not stay as long based on the ads getting in the way of your good content.

Also, be sure to communicate with your ad program and know how many ads they are going to add to your pages and how that will affect your traffic.

4. Sell digital products on your blog

At some point along your blogging journey you may decide it’s time to make your own informational products and promote them on your site.

You can make:

Ebooks
Online Courses
Books
Guides
PDFs
Subscription memberships

Online Courses are doing very well right now and if you want to make more as a blogger than this might be a great route to head next.

With an Online Course your skills in blogging, writing, and communication can transfer very well.

I’ve taken online courses that are mostly videos, some that are mostly writing, and some that are a great mixture of the two.

It doesn’t really matter what medium you choose to focus on as long as you deliver AMAZING content that changes people’s lives when they purchase it and learn from it. That’s at least how I feel as someone that purchases online courses.

5. How to make money blogging through a membership subscription site

Membership sites are like FB groups on steroids. Some are FB groups that are made private until you subscribe. Or you can include private FB groups in your online courses as well.

Either way you want to have continual posts in your membership community that daily move the group forward and creates TONS of worthwhile information for your memberships to want to be a part of.

The key to making great consistent money through a membership subscription is that once someone tries it they have the feeling that there is valuable information they’ll be missing out on if they lose access to it.

At that point, you can grow a consistent monthly income from the members only site alone.

Any membership site can have churn out, but the more you are able to have a consistent valuable discussion going on and add value to the group weekly and monthly the less churn out should be.

6. Use your blog to get paying clients

If you like working with people more than just writing than you will absolutely love finding clients to work for.

Client work is challenging. You have to know how to get what is in their minds onto your page.

Some great tips for landing clients on the first try:

Decide beforehand to ask good quality questions
Know which questions you are going to ask before the interview
Treat the client like a friend you are having coffee with
Listen intently
Repeat Important information back to the client and they will feel understood and that you care
Listen more than you talk
When you hear them state their problem, be sure to address how you are going to solve it

Doing well with clients means being a good communicator and serving the client.

If you don’t like that idea then client work might not be for you.

Freelance writing is 50% working on communication with clients and 50% writing.

That ebbs and flows given the client and the freelance writing you are doing for them, but just know that writing for clients is not purely writing like blogging for yourself, it takes a lot of communication skills.

If you want to see how I do freelance writing and charge for client work you can see my UpWork profile here.

7. Make money blogging using reviews

Reviews are a great way to share with your readers what you think about a product or service.

What’s better than getting to try amazing new products and then getting to tell people about them?!

It’s nice because you can be honest in a review and just say what you like and what you don’t and you don’t really feel like you’re selling anything to anyone.

After you share your honest thoughts on it, you leave it up to your readers to make a good choice and get the product or not.

Reviews are an easy way to make money as a blogger.

8. Drive traffic to your site

Blogging isn’t ALL writing.

A good amount of the work you will put into any successful blog will be promotion and figuring out ways to get eyeballs looking at your site.

You have to drive traffic and keep traffic. Both can be difficult and have different but key strategies.

Driving traffic is a mixture of using social media to spread the word about valuable information and products on your site and using SEO best practices.

Keeping traffic is about setting up promotions to your blog that turn into LONG LASTING sources of traffic.

Long lasting traffic comes from strategic guest posts and automated or manual social media systems you set up.

9. Choose a blog host

If you want to make money blogging you will have to get blog hosting and own your own domain.

Ad networks and affiliate programs won’t work with you unless you own your website and clients most likely won’t take you seriously if you send them to a free blog page.

I use Bluehost and they have been great so far.

You can check their pricing out here to see what works for you.

Another great choice but pricier is Kinsta.

Kinsta is more expensive, but you pay for what you get. Their hosting creates faster site speeds which leads to better SEO and is better for sites that have high amounts of traffic.

You can see your options here.

Just know that no matter what host you choose, you will be able to switch hosting or upgrade when you need to.

10. Choose a blog domain name

When choosing a domain name, try to be creative, but choose something precise and memorable.

Choosing something that is a play on words can be helpful.

Pick something that is going to make sense for your niche.

Or can you always start out by buying your name as a domain name.

Bluehost gives you a free domain name as an intro deal. Blogger and Godaddy sell domain names, but you don’t “own” it. See their terms of use.

You can see Bluehost’ offer for a free domain name here.

11. Choose your blogging platform

Choose your blogging platform. You should take a few moments to understand the difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org.

Understand that they are not the same and they are vastly different in user friendliness depending on how you want to make your site and the versatility of what you might be looking to monetize with it.

Just a couple things, wordpress.com doesn’t allow you to use free plugins but wordpress.org has a massive amount of free plugins to help you make your blog everything you want it to be.

I personally use WordPress.org. So far I like it and I REALLY enjoy the resources and the free plugins I can use.

I recommend wordpress.org but, If you would like to check out wordpress.com you can find some of their programs here.

Overall, there are many strategies to making money with your blog and I would definitely recommend doing a little bit of everything.

You should definitely do your best to diversify your blogging income then if one doesn’t work out you have more to rely on.

I would also suggest working on one or two at a time. Focus in on one form of income and make it work really well. After you nail down one or two forms of blogging income you will feel ready to get another one working for you.

How to Know What Your Readers are Thinking: What Do They REALLY Want?

May 11, 2019May 29, 2020 ~ Jeremy ~ Leave a comment

What should I write about?

Know What Your Readers are Thinking

How to Know What Your Readers are Thinking: What Do They REALLY Want?

When you are writing any type of copy, know what your readers are thinking and what they desire. It’s a BIG DEAL!

It’s important to take time to think about this every time you sit down to write, but especially when blogging, freelancing, and doing client work.

What do you need to ask yourself when sitting down to write to know what your readers are thinking?

Here are some profitable questions to ask yourself:

What is my brand?
What products are you using and love?
What are other writers in your niche writing about and promoting?
Did you Google it yet?
What is going viral in your niche?

Know What Your Readers Are Thinking: What Is My Brand?

To know what your readers are thinking, you need to understand who you are as a brand.

This may seem like backward thinking, but in order to know who you are attracting with your writing, you need to know who you are.

And it may be obvious to you what your branding is, but you’d be surprised how many blogs and websites are unsuccessful because they are a cluttered mess of every affiliate offer and ad under the sun.

You may be thinking, I need to cast a wide net to get more.

BEWARE of this common MARKETING TRAP!

Stay true to who you are and who you are writing to. Loyalty to your readers is more important. By maintaining a straightforward voice and being open about who you are and who you are writing to from day one you will start to build a loyal audience instead of a fair-weather audience that is not connected to what you do.

The big question you need to be asking yourself is WHY?

Why do I do what I do and why should anyone else care?

If you don’t know your “why,” you will communicate that to your readers without even thinking about it.

Your why will help you focus down and see a clear path from where you are to where you want to be.

Do you want readers to come to you because they are looking for a certain product?

Do you want them to come to you looking for advice?

Are they looking for information from you? What type of information? Get specific.

If your why is “I want to make money selling people something.” You probably won’t gain much traction or sell anything for that matter. So you are going to have to be a bit deeper than just “selling stuff.” (This isn’t always true as we have places like Amazon. It is probably pretty hard to compete in that space though.)

Try to have an important purpose. Something only you can help readers do or learn. In the process of trying to help them first instead of yourself, you will find helpful products to tell people about what they will enjoy and they will come back to you to find out more.

And when you do your best to help them succeed in their goals that will, in turn, help you succeed as well.

For a great read on your “Why” check out Start with Why by Simon Sinek.

He’s an inspirational speaker and a thought leader on marketing and branding. I have gotten a lot of inspiration and ideas from his talks.

To know what your readers are thinking, know: Why do you do what you do?

Know What Your Readers Are Thinking: What Products are You Using and Enjoying Yourself?

To know what your readers are thinking you need to analyze what you like personally and the type of personalities you want to attract with your writing.

If you are writing about something you love and enjoy already in your daily life, it’ll be easy to see if your audience will love to use it too.

For me personally, I love finding things that save me money passively in my daily life, I wrote a post about it and actually found out that most of the things I enjoy using daily have referral offers and affiliate programs. I have no problem promoting them because I love them and save hundreds of dollars using them every year anyway, so I hope that others will be able to save hundreds every year by using them too. And ALL of them don’t cost money to start using which is convenient, because everyone likes FREE 🙂

You can find that specific post here if that is something you’re interested in doing.

If you want to find the programs listed without reading about them you can find a shortlist here.

Know What Your Readers Are Thinking: What are Other Writers in Your Niche Writing About and Promoting?

To know what your readers are thinking, analyze what other writers are having success with.

The last thing you want to do is copy someone else’s work. Don’t do that; not classy and not worth it. But taking time to look at other blogs that are succeeding in your subject area can really help give you some ideas of what similar readers to yours like, want to hear about, and want to use. It never hurts to look outside the box for help.

Don’t hesitate to look outside yourself for help and inspiration.

Buy some books, take some online courses and invest in yourself.

There is TONS of good free info out there, thanks to bloggers, YouTubers, and influencers, so there is no excuse not to be able to find what readers are interested in hearing about.

Know What Your Readers Are Thinking: Did you Google it yet?

To know what your readers are thinking, Google it. Period.

Google is a writer’s best friend. I don’t care if you have a human best friend. It’s not true. Google is actually your best friend, you just don’t know it yet. Whether it’s using google analytics to see why people visit your site or whether you are Google researching if you haven’t used Google yet you are leaving valuable insight out of the equation.

Some simple things to search for:

Forums
Reviews
Competitors in your niche
“Your niche” affiliate program

Go out there and see first hand what readers like yours are ACTUALLY saying. This will be gold for your Brand.

Most times when you are staring at a blank page and wondering, “What do I write next?” It’s because you haven’t done enough research.

You’ll be shocked to see how quickly words fly onto your page with a simple Google search. Do your best to stay original while doing your inspirational research.

And definitely take the time to search google’s keyword planner to see what users are typing into their search engines.

Know What Your Readers Are Thinking: What is Going Viral in Your Niche?

To know what your readers are thinking, check out what is going viral in your niche.

Go on social media platforms and see what pins and posts have and are going viral.

Seeing what’s going viral in your genre can help you decide on what you should write about or promote on your next blog post.

Maybe it will inspire you to write a post on something you haven’t thought about yet.

Or maybe you’ll discover that something you already use and love is going viral. If you know it’s going viral you can know what your readers are thinking and then you can quickly punch out a quick meaningful post on why you love it so much and why your readers might enjoy it too.

Know What Your Readers Are Thinking Bonus: When finding out what your readers are thinking, the gold is in their OWN words.

To know what your readers are thinking, find their own words and write in the way they talk.

The best places to find your readers’ own words are in forums, FB groups, and product reviews.

Start with something simple.

For example: Let’s say you are promoting hair straighteners.

Look on Amazon (I can’t tell how many bloggers miss this key opportunity) for hair straighteners just like yours and start mining the reviews.

You should be looking for patterns.

Look for phrases and statements that are common among many of the comments.

You read 100 reviews and you start to see that many reviews are saying “I love how this straightener doesn’t burn my head.” BOOM.

You just discovered 2 things.

A common problem is that people burn their heads with other straighteners.
The one you’re looking at on amazon solves that problem.

If you write in a hair product niche it will be helpful for you to tell your readers about this straightener, (maybe try it out yourself first) and you can feel confident to say “this straightener is great because it doesn’t burn your head easily like others” knowing full well that your statement will resonate with a lot of what your readers and potential readers are thinking about and by providing useful trustworthy information you will build good rapport with them.

You can do this type of research with any product and any niche to know what your readers are thinking. You just have to find where they are talking about what you are trying to write about and look for common repeated problems and solutions.

Rinse and repeat this type of word research for any product or niche.
