I have very different opinions about these tools:
- Commitment: Comes naturally to me and might be one of my strongest skills
- Reciprocation: I always give more than I can afford but before Steemit that was never a good thing for me
- Social Proof: I give social proof to others all the time but I never force it and I never care about the outcome.
- Authority: I never liked authorities. If someone tells me not to do something I will do it ten times crazier than originally intended.
- Liking: Comes naturally to me as I like to talk about private and embarrissing stuff. I never felt it served me well and I had to learn the hard way what it means when ten thousand people call you an idot within 24 hours.
- Scarcity: Nothing in life should be scarce and particularly not when it is a fake scarcity like on these terrible funnel websites where a lecture or whatever is sold and it tells you that only X amount is left. I never touch stuff like that even if I would get it for free for some reasons.
Professor Flauwy entered the room, openned his arms and mouth and said (as I see on the avatar) ;p
I agree with most of what you said... heck about Scarcity I absolutely abhor those crappy funnel sites... but you do know why they're still used right?
Cheers Flo :D
