I'm back...to SELL.

Showing you that I do use AI, from Google when asked; "What is selling?" (Emphasis mine)

Selling, in its broadest sense, is the act of exchanging goods, services, or ideas for something of value, typically money. It involves convincing a potential customer that a product or service meets their needs or offers a desirable solution to a problem. This involves understanding customer needs, showcasing the product/service as the solution, addressing potential objections, and finally, closing the deal.

I followed this up with "what are internet marketing best practices and protocols for successful selling"...well, you can do this on your own time, just to see the different AI answers. They all give you pretty much the same ideas...and in my opinion, NONE of them helped.

Best practices according to AI; seo, trust, security, testimonials, content, paid ads, UX, UI, checkout, mobile optimization, metrics, etc., etc, and so on and so on.

Do I need all that to sell my scrying bowls?

Well ebay shows me recent buyers are spending about 15 to 25 and etsy is showing they tend to run a bit higher, from 20 to 40 dollars. Now, do I set up a website and SEO, and do all the "best practices" as suggested by AI?

Or do I look for scryers already practicing? Or in my case, what % of lottery players have an interest in scrying as a way of forecasting or picking numbers? I think they, might be the best targets for my scrying kit.

My point being, step one in successful INTERNET MARKETING could simply be in the choice of the PEOPLE you are going to SELL something too.

It eliminates the need for the best practices as taught by IM gurus, who are still thriving with live event seminars that promise insider secrets...expect to see a slew of soon to be gazillionaires.

For the years I spent selling, studying human behavior, learning copywriting, and making things more difficult than they need be...I hope to touch at least one or a few beginners and tell them simply, YOU don't have to do that today.

SELL SOMETHING PEOPLE WANT/NEED TO BUY

And you don't need much more than those 7 magic words to figure things out.
