Leverage the fear factor to grab your audience
When I help authors and business coaches create marketing copy for their books and online programs, I always remind them to never be afraid of using the fear factor when crafting their promotional messages.
Leveraging the fear factor doesn’t mean you have to literally scare your audience when developing your book marketing copy.
However, it does mean you should at least consider a strategy that taps into your audience’s natural fear of:
- Missing out
- Being left behind
- Not being “in the know”
Technology companies use this strategy to perfection. This is why everyone wants the latest phone or feels left out if they don’t have the newest version of every software package on their computer.
In this week’s video, I detail how to communicate the benefits of your book by reminding readers what they’ll be missing if they don’t read it.
Leveraging the fear factor isn’t shady or tricky, and it can be a great way to engage more readers so you can sell more books and programs.
