Sell the Benefits, Not the Product, If You Want to Make Money Online

Every product or service has to have a benefit that it gives to the buyer. What is the end benefit that the buyer is looking for from the product? Whatever that is, that's what you must highlight to the buyer to make money online.

Why does that work?

Well, anyone who has ever brought a drill, didn't really want a drill. They wanted a hole! Tell them how to make better holes and they'll buy your drill. Tell them how they can make holes, faster, bigger, smoother with less mess and they'll have their credit card out in short time.

People make buying decisions based on emotions. Feelings guide a person to buy something based on how they see themselves benefiting from it. People don't buy diets or weight loss plans... they buy a future slimmer version of themselves. They buy being fitter and healthier, shopping for new slimmer clothes, being more attractive to partners. They buy the benefits of a weight loss plan.

Specifications and price are important too but feelings and emotion are what really matters. Many times buyers will explode out of their budget limits if a product promises to deliver exactly the benefits they're looking for. That's emotion at work!

Buyers will ask 'What Can It Do For Me?' or 'How Does It Benefit Me?'. If you can answer those questions successfully... you've got a sale.

I used to sell life assurance. Yes, it's hard! How do you sell something to someone based on their death? Truth is you can't. So I emphasised the benefits of life assurance. The family would be financially secure, school fees would be paid for, spouse would have no money worries, mortgage would be paid off. You're not buying life assurance, you're buying peace of mind and your family's financial future.

Sell the benefits and the product will sell itself.
