This article unveils the hidden marketing wisdom of Joe Vitale, a renowned marketing consultant and author. After writing eleven books on marketing, reading hundreds of others on persuasion and psychology, and spending over two decades creating compelling advertising and publicity, Vitale has compiled a list of insights into human nature that can revolutionize your marketing strategy. This list has been met with mixed reactions, with some finding it inspiring and others finding it intimidating.
One of the key insights from Vitale's list is the power of storytelling in marketing. People can be persuaded to your side with a compelling narrative. This is because stories evoke emotions, and emotions drive decisions.
According to Vitale, people only do things for the good feelings they get. This means that people make decisions based on their emotions rather than logic. Therefore, marketers should focus on creating emotional connections with their audience.
Another important insight from Vitale's list is that people only buy from people they know, like, and trust. This means that building trust with your audience is crucial for successful marketing.
Vitale also highlights the impact of small details on people's perception of you and your business. People make snap decisions based on little things you usually overlook, such as the paper stock of your business card.
People pick up on your energy, more than on what you say or do, and decide to work with you or not based on what they sense. This means that your energy and attitude can significantly influence people's decision to work with you.
People always respond to free offers of something interesting to them. This means that offering freebies can be an effective marketing strategy.
People never question their own beliefs, so don't try to change them. Instead, align your marketing message with their existing beliefs.
People are deeply affected by what others think. This means that social proof can be a powerful tool in marketing.
Understanding your audience is crucial for successful marketing. People are interested in other people, the new, the off-beat, the unusual, women, babies, pets, and food. They also universally feel deprived and are always looking for ways to improve their lives.
People will believe a news story over an advertisement hands down. This means that incorporating news stories into your marketing strategy can be more effective than traditional advertising.
People unconsciously respond to your unconscious intentions. This means that your unconscious intentions can significantly influence people's decision to work with you.
People think about sex far more than they will ever admit. This means that incorporating sexual innuendos into your marketing message can be effective.

Why Encourage People?
Win taught me that whatever you focus on expands. This was long before the movie The Secret or before the Law of Attraction hit mainstream media. Win called it the first law of psychology. Whatever you focus on will expand.
The Unparalleled Influence of "The Book of est"
In the vast sea of self-help literature, one book stands out as a transformative powerhouse: "The Book of est." This lesser-known tome has not only reshaped my perspective but has also left an indelible mark on the lives of countless readers. It's a book that eclipses even the most renowned titles like "Think and Grow Rich," and for some, it holds a more profound impact than religious texts such as the Bible. This is a bold claim, but it's rooted in the profound personal transformations that "The Book of est" has catalyzed.
Attracting Harry Potter's Magic Guitar
These days I love attracting guitars and playing guitars. I'm fortunate enough to know musicians as well as guitar teachers. Weekly lessons with Guitar Monk Mathew Dixon are a blast. Talking music with guitarist Pat O'Bryan is always enlightening. And meeting luthiers (guitar makers) is also educational and inspiring. (Pic's of Pat and me.*)
