Intro: Design subconsciously persuasive websites + marketing

Course details

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS COURSE

Note: This is an introductory to intermediate course

In this course you'll discover how your customers really make decisions at a subconscious level, and we'll explore how to target the primal, emotional and rational systems of the brain.

You'll learn how the primal system works online, and how to engage it using motion, sex (in a subtle way!), food, scarcity and more to get the attention of your prospects.

You'll learn about the emotional system, how to create empathy with your audience, and why it is necessary for a deeper level of engagement. You'll discover why storytelling is so psychologically powerful, and you'll learn how to activate the mirror neuron systems in the brain to make your customers feel more.

You'll learn how to use body language in combination with calls to action (CTAs) to subconsciously increase sign ups and conversions on your website.

We'll cover misconceptions about the rational mind and how it really affects behaviour, and you'll learn how to design product demonstrations, benefit lists and authority cues to increase sales and conversions.

Throughout the course we'll look at case studies and examples of each system in the real world (adverts and websites), so that you can apply this knowledge in your own business.
