Selling sex & a Twinkie

Author: Cho L-bonh  //  Category: Selling

I caught the last showing of ZOMBIELAND, a cool lil’ movie.  Not too action-packed - but I was invested for the duration of it.  What was interesting was the previews prior to the main movie. I come to realize that EVERYBODY has something to sell.  So, if anyone says that they aren’t trying to sell you something/anything.  Slap’em.  Hard.  There was this particualr advert that caught me. It showed a good-looking guy at a cool party, bare-chested, shirt almost coming off and there was 2 hot chicks whom took notice of him and they come to him and start feeling him up and such.  All due in part because of cologne-type spray by Brand X (I’ll spare you my aff link). I was LMAO - So, the commercial is telling me if I buy Brand X and I go to a party/club and random hot chicks will feel me up - thus, prompting sex later.  From a normal mind-set I was like, “I’m buying this Brand X and hitting up da club, playa.”  Then, from an Affiliate Marketer mind-set I was like, “Thank You for your money.”  I realized it’s all in the sell and this sell worked.  It can be deemed false advertising if you want to look deeper into it.

In the end:  The advert sold me the cologne-type spray, per se.  Also, in the movie Woody Harrelson’s character was looking for a Twinkie and I wanted a Twinkie after the movie.  Though, I didn’t go get one.  It was clever how they did it and I’ll give them credit for it.  As I’m venturing through Affiliate Marketing, I am beginning to see the tricks and tactics of selling.  It’s a bloody war.

PS:
Yes, I pimped the Twinkie, now you’ll see the movie and see what the Twinkie is all about. ;)

The power of the Twinkie compels you to Twitter

Yummy.
