The Money Making Power Of Story Telling
Facts tell stories sell. In fact, a well-told story that engages the reader and hooks them so deep that it burns a hole through whatever pants they are wearing, will surely achieve the storyteller’s goal, whether that is fame, money or even save their own life…
That’s right…
In ancient Rome a convict sentenced to death, would spend his nights crafting a series of stories jam-packed with sensationalism so intriguing it delayed his execution…
He would tell these stories to the king right before his death and the king would be so hooked and compelled to know what was going to happen next that the convict prolonged his life for one thousand and one nights… what happened on that one night of his execution is a lesson we all need to learn from…
The stories told by the convict where sure to grab the king’s attention and used the overly powerful drive known as curiosity to pull you in…
Each series, or chapters if you will, would lead in to the next leaving the king with hunger to know what happened next… the same appeal used by many Gossip magazines that make their readers drool with anxiety to know what’s the latest twist that happened in the celebrities world.
The stories were descriptive and filled with action verbs that were sure to make your toes cringe every time it hit a nerve…. and it may seem that a skill like this is only for gifted people, that if you were to cut them open, they would bleed a stockpiled river of witty and enchanting words, but that’s not the case…
The reason for this convict to have fallen flat on his face after one thousand and one nights is the same reason many copywriters and salespersons fall flat on theirs..
As time has proven, people do not buy from you because of your cutesy slogan, cleverness, bragging of being the best in the universe and the most shocking of all… people do not buy because you have a truly good product!
How many people in the MLM industry are out there running around like chickens with their heads cut off because they can’t seem to sell the same product which they claim to be bar none the best in the industry… the best in the entire space-continuum?
How many people are out there claiming to have the world’s most lucrative compensation plan, yet they are about as broke as the person who brought them in to drink from the same pink kool-aid…
Yet, many others have made fortunes by selling only using the right level of distress and pushing the right hot buttons and only then offering you the perceived needed release through whatever is it that they are selling…
For one thousand and one nights the convict filled his stories with emotionally charged twists that pushed the king’s hot buttons and allowed him to live one extra day at a time…. but the ball was dropped when the convict finished his story and made the number one mistake most salespeople are still making today…
Just like this convict, many people are dying financially, drowning in credit card debt or worse dreading their own life waking up to the same old nightmare they call a job… and the answer is sitting right in front of them, if they could only unlock the secret to great storytelling…
If you don’t know what this mistake is, then you are probably making it right now… but don’t worry, you can find the answer peppered through out the copywriter’s guild sales letter, which you can read by clicking on the banner below…
