Hypnotic Auctions: Where Eating Bananas and eBay Auctions Meet

What could this title possibly mean? Bananas and eBay sounds just silly.

But what if I said:

Imagine eating a yellow banana…

What did you just do? I'll bet for a split second you visualized in your head, holding a peeled banana and taking a bite. Right? Sure - You had almost no choice. Your mind took those simple words and ran with them. It was out of control for a second or two. You couldn't prevent it.

Now, if you like bananas, this was probably an enjoyable thought. You may have actually had a banana earlier today and you quickly remembered what you were doing when you ate your last banana. Now, if you dislike bananas it was probably not an enjoyable experience and you would rather forget all about it.

So what does this banana memory and eBay auctions have to do with each other? Well this example show how the power of suggestion and how certain words, phrases, and pictures can influence a person’s thinking. You can take advantage of this in your auction listings.

With some minor changes to your listings you can create an auction that uses hypnotic elements to capture attention, promote trust, and evoke action, which I have named a Hypnotic Auction.

A hypnotic auction utilizes various hypnotic elements to actually control the bidder. They don't even realize it is happening. It has probably even happened to you. Once you learn the techniques you will be able to recognize hypnotic auctions and create you own.

A hypnotic auction can be composed of hypnotic writing, hypnotic pictures, hypnotic stories, and hypnotic publicity.

The “inventor” of hypnotic writing, Dr. Joe Vitale, defines hypnotic writing as “anything you do which makes your readers react because of mental images you plant in their minds” or “is intentionally using words to guide people into a focused mental state where they are inclined to buy your product or service.”

So by choosing the words you use in your auctions, listings can greatly influence what a potential bidder will think and do. Just like forcing you to thing of eating bananas in this article. You can discover more hypnotic elements to use in your eBay listings at: http://www.hypnoticauctions.com
