How To Easily Write An Irresistibly Hypnotic Article

But... you have to pay close attention, because as the old saying goes: »The devil hides in the details«. It will only be at your second or third reading of this that you'll start to notice the subtler persuasion devices I've intentionally woven into this article, but won't speak of them out loud to get you to open your mind to new and exciting ideas...

So, let's get right into the meat of this juicy information and start with what should go through your mind first when beginning to write an article that will have an impact and influence people that read it...

It's the purpose -- First you have to establish what you want to achieve with your article; what specific actions you want your readers to take. Once you've established that, it's time to construct the most important part of your article: the headline.

Headline is what will make or break your article. It's the first thing that people read and upon it they decide whether to read on or not. It should be riveting. It's a very good thing if it contains a benefit that this article will bring to your readers. The headline should scream out to your audience.

For example, the headline I used for this article does just that. Since I know that people reading this are interested in covert hypnosis, I used hypnosis for the basis. I used the »How To« approach as it has proven to be extremely effective. Another effective way is to start with a number, for example: “5 Steps To Writing An Irresistibly Hypnotic Article”. Odd numbers seem to work better than even numbers.

OK… I started with »How To Write A Hypnotic Article«. Then I added some »spices« to it. I added the word “Easily”, which is an extremely powerful word that plays on one of the fundamentals of human nature. And besides that, I further added the word “Irresistibly”, making it even more, well irresistible. Some authors write up to 30 headlines before they are fully satisfied. But using one of the two simple formulas here you should be able to do it fairly quickly.

Now that we have our headline, its time to go to work on the article itself. What is hypnotic writing anyway? Joe Vitale, best selling author and the father of hypnotic writing defines “hypnotic” as being anything that grabs and holds attention. This is a good definition to go by. Let’s see how to do just that…

The purpose of the first paragraph is to get the reader to read the second paragraph. The purpose of the second paragraph is to get the reader to read the next one and so on. It’s a good idea to induce curiosity in the first paragraph. This combined with a strong promise of a great benefit that the reader will gain by reading your article is the equivalent of dynamite. If it sounds realistic at least a bit, it will no doubt get him or her to read the next paragraph…

And all the way through this you’re working towards your purpose with the article, whatever it might be.

Now for the big secret…

Before I reveal the big secret, let me very briefly explain a vital concept. As you probably know, curiosity is a great trance inducer. It certainly grabs and holds attention. And until the curiosity is satisfied, the person is in a trance state. In hypnosis, there’s a technique called fractionation. The basis of this concept is the observation that if you bring a person in a trance, get them out of it and then immediately back in, they will go deeper the next time. And as you repeat this, they will go deeper and deeper still.

So, if you can get the reader curious (open a loop), reveal the secret (close a loop) and immediately get him or her curious again (open another loop), you will now have their attention longer and be able to deliver more of your intended messages. And finally, when you come to the end of the article, you can open one more loop and suggest that in order to close it, they have to take your desired action. And they will.

OK… these were just a few very powerful hypnotic writing tips. You can combine these with many others you already learned. And as you start writing your own hypnotic articles, you’ll notice that writing is like extending your hand to another person, gently grabbing hers and helping guide her wherever you desire.

But the only way you’ll truly get there is by practicing. Once you have these rewarding abilities that will not only make you prosperous, but also give you a sense of better control over your life, you’ll be glad you started practicing hypnotic writing immediately...
