The List & Lollapalooza Tendency:

In this lecture we will learn the list of 21 principles or cognitive biases. what they are and where they come from and then we will start talking about the most important one on the list. Each day we receive between 2000 - 7000 ads and if you want to become successful at what you are doing, you have to be able to compete.

Deprival super reaction tendency or Scarcity :

A very powerful cognitive bias which we are going to learn during this lecture. Scarcity is very common in marketing. There isn't any limit in this bias and you can go crazy on it. During this lecture and also on exercises at the end of this section we will take a look at many successful business that are using scarcity in their marketing, business, stores, websites and social media.

We will learn this bias in two parts:

In this lesson we will learn the cognitive bias number 4 which is contrast tendency . this one is one of the most powerful cognitive biases , again we will learn the meaning of this bias and how we must use it .

Reciprocation & Kantian fairness tendency:

This is one of the huge ones , even though it's hard to create this one in different situations but it will have a huge result .

Sometimes we follow this principle in our relationships with people , friends , family even though we don't know that it is reciprocation .

Inconsistency Avoidance Tendency:

I like this one because it's easy to understand , it's easy to use in business and the result is effective . In some lists they call this one "Avoid inconsistency cognitive bias" but here we will just use consistency to make it more simpler and understandable . with some small changes in your business you can create this bias , so let's start how we can do it .

Exercise - A woman from Poland:

Doubt Avoidance Tendency :

One of the biggest obstacles that customers have to buy something is doubt , they doubt if your product is good , they doubt if it is worth it , they doubt , and your work is to remove that obstacle and let your customer pass to the point that they come and buy your product . 

we will talk about it more in the course so let's get started .

Influence-from-mere-association-tendency:

This one is so popular in the market and you have seen it a lot , but doing it is not easy and it needs capital (investment , cash ) . in this course we will understand the meaning of this cognitive bias and also we will work on some ways to do this principles with almost no capital .

so let's get started .

Simple pain avoidance and psychological denial tendency:

This principle is powerful but it only works on some special situation and you can't use it everywhere because it won't have the effect .

let's start this lesson and learn how and where you can create this effect n your business .

Excessive self-regard tendency:

This one looks a little funny but it still has a great effect if you know how to create it . These days we mostly see this in online dating sites but it is possible to make it any where , so let's get started .

Overoptimism Tendency:

Again this one is possible in some situations not all but i can't say how many times i see this one during a single day . People start to over believe and defend things or persons or brands that they don't even know and it's only because of this principle . so let's start Overoptimism tendency and learn how you can do it .

Social Proof Tendency:

This one is also one of the powerful ones which is about the effect of the others on us . This principle has been proven many times over the past decades and in this lesson you can see a test that scientists have done on people . using this principle will attract more customers to your business and market .

Curiosity Tendency: 

this bias will help you to bring customers back to your business over and over . most of the people and companies who knows about these cognitive biases forget this one and if you work on this principle you will be able to spend less capital ( investment , cash ) on ads and more on your product and business.

This bias is very useful in mail marketing.

Stress Influence Tendency:

this cognitive bias and the first bias which was punishment bias are close . In the punishment bias you have to show the customer what will bad happen if they don't use your product , but here you have to put your customer under pressure to accept your offer but not directly .

Availability Tendency:
