Hypnotic Copy Article
Hypnotic Copy
Now this is a pretty sneaky trick, and depending on your views you might not want to use it, but it is a highly effective technique when used either on your squeeze page or in your sales page itself.
There are two types of hypnotic tricks you can use, the first just uses the power of words to give the visitor a suggestion such as: ʻas you read further down this page you will begin to understand…ʼ
If you didn't pick it up then I was suggesting that you read further down the page (make them read your copy).
Now this technique works, and once you know about it, you will begin to spot it in the numerous direct marketing ads you probably receive everyday. It really is powerful stuff, and the use of phrases like the one above can really change the outcome of a campaign.

Hypnotic Focus
I call this hypnotic focus because if truth be told I canʼt really think of a different name for it.
Hypnotic focus is about highlighting the action you want the visitor to take.
Take a look at this page
Now stare closely at it, can you tell what I am trying to get you to do?
Now that I have warned you about it, you may have picked it up, but if not, then take a closer look at ʻsign up nowʼ, ʻenter your detailsʼ, and ʻclick the free instant access buttonʼ.
Those direction phrases are slightly darker than the rest of the text surrounding them. Now it may sound slightly crazy, but I have tested this over an over again, and it just works.
Having the action phrases slightly more emphasized than the rest of the text subconsciously forces people to take note of what is required of them.
