  Why Everyone Needs a Mentor
  In the ever-growing field of internet marketing, it is not uncommon for successful marketers to utilize or have utilized the skills and expertise of an internet marketing mentor. Why do you need a mentor and what could they possibly offer to help you grow your business.First of all, mentors are guides to help cut through the sometimes-murky water of internet marketing. They are there to help you understand not only the intricacies involved in operating your internet marketing business, but to help direct you when you have no idea which direction to take to bring your business to the next level.They can also provide a good 'kick in the pants' when your motivation is failing. So why do you need an internet marketing mentor? Because we all, at some point in time reach a point where we have no further expertise or experience. We also lack the knowledge, time, and/or resources to do an involved study of where
  Human beings share six tendencies that allow us to be persuaded.

  None of us is immune to these tendencies, which is what makes them so useful to those of us who want to sell products over the Internet. These six tendencies are...

  1. Scarcity
  2. Authority
  3. Reciprocation
  4. Social validation
  5. Friendship
  6. Consistency

  This article takes a brief look at each of these six tendencies, and discusses how to use them in your online business.

  For a more in-depth discussion see Dr. Robert Cialdini's brilliant book Influence: the Psychology of Persuasion.

  Scarcity

  We tend to want something more if it's hard to get. This tendency harks back to a time when everything worth having (food, clothing, shelter) was in short supply.

  Most people in the western world no longer have to struggle to provide food, clothing, and shelter so our focus has shifted toward luxury items. And our tendency to place value on scarce items has shifted with it. That's why people are prepared to pay huge sums of money for the works of dead painters. After all, once an artist is dead there will be no new works.

  You can take advantage of this tendency in your advertising. The easiest way to impose scarcity is to make a special offer, and then place a time limit on it.

  A time-limited offer not only forces the prospect to make an immediate decision, but has the additional bonus (for you) of punishing procrastination.

  Authority

  Authority is an increasingly important tool to advertisers.

  Anyone who lives in a modern western country is bombarded with information, and tends to rely on 3rd party experts when forming opinions about matters outside his or her immediate area of knowledge.

          Market Your Chiropractic Practice - Grow Each Week
          It is easier than ever to build your practice with effective marketing techniques. Recent studies conducted by the I/H/R/ Research Group have clearly determined that most people prefer drug-free treatment for back, neck, and pain-related issues. The survey, commissioned by the American Chiropractic Association also showed that more than 64 percent of the respondents said that they would consider seeking the health care services of a Doctor of Chiropractic to provide their drug free care. However, the survey showed that only 13.8 percent of respondents were currently seeking health care from a Chiropractor. It is critical for chiropractic business decision-makers to market their services to prospective clients who desire a safe alternative to medication, but who do not actively seek chiropractic treatments.The most effective way to build your practice is through newspaper inserts and other forms of print advertising.

          • Printing celebrity endorsements

          Essentially, the advertiser is borrowing authority from a 3rd party. While you can borrow authority to promote any product, you must ensure that your 3rd party is a credible source of information in the mind of your prospect.

          Reciprocation

          Most people are more likely to comply with a request when...

          • The person making the request has already given us something (i.e. free gift)
          • The person making the request has promised to give us something

          Reciprocation works because most of use feel the need to pay our own way, and are uncomfortable accepting something for nothing. Reciprocation may also reinforce the power of friendship and consistency.

          Most advertisers use reciprocation by giving out a free sample, hoping to demonstrate the usefulness of their product. Unfortunately, this technique is so common on the Internet that it has lost some of its power.

          As people get used to receiving free samples, and realize that this is merely part of the marketing for that product, the less inclined they feel to reciprocate (that's why I don't offer free samples).

          Social validation

          Sheep tend follow the leader. People aren't unlike sheep, in that we tend to do what other people do.

          We're influenced by the television we watch, the results of opinion polls, and the opinions of the people we meet every day.

          Even better, from an advertiser's perspective, is the fact that most people are completely unaware of this tendency. That makes social validation a very powerful tool.
