You’ve probably heard it said:
But here’s the shocking reality if you want to succeed: Don’t give people what they need…
With discretionary income most people tend to buy products and services they WANT rather than simply buying what they need.
When we are trying to sell a product we believe is good for our prospect–one we believe our prospect needs but does not yet want–we have the uphill battle of first convincing them they NEED the product.
If you can, you will be successful.
Better yet, ask them what products and services they have purchased in the past six months in your target niche–that is the best way to predict what they will purchase in the future.
So if you want to make money blogging, here’s one crucial key: Don’t give people what they need, give them what they want.
Try it, it will make you money.

1Good advice: “Don’t give people what they need… Give Them What They WANT.”
How can I know what they need? If I give them what I think they need, I’m assuming I know better than they know. Isn’t it a matter of respecting other people?

2that is a great point. It is so much easier to sell to a want! Peoples needs usually bore them, but wants are exciting!
