This time around, Jay Schwedelson breaks down the surprising psychology behind specific digits, negative stats, and the Pratfall Effect to help your content stand out. You will also want to stick around for the end, because the listener's questions take a hilarious turn into unsolicited dating advice.ㅤBest Moments:(02:48) Specific numbers like 9,122 perform significantly better than a generic 10,000 because they feel much more authentic.(03:45) Subject lines and titles starting with non-round numbers that do not end in a zero or a five can boost engagement by over 22 percent.(05:00) The Pratfall Effect shows that a slightly flawed rating, like 4.8, is far more believable and drives more business than a perfect 5.0 score.(06:19) Negative numbers in a subject line trigger a rubbernecking reaction that leads to a noticeable bump in open rates.(11:02) Getting blown off by a date only to spot them out somewhere else is an instant deal breaker that deserves zero second chances.ㅤPartner with Jay: https://www.jayschwedelson.com/contactㅤCheck out Jay Schwedelson's new book: Stupider People Have Done It All net proceeds are donated to The V Foundation for Cancer Research, let's kick cancer's butt: https://www.amazon.com/Stupider-People-Have-Done-Marketing/dp/1637635206ㅤSubscribe to Jay's newsletter for weekly marketing tips and tactics: https://www.jayschwedelson.com/newsletterㅤRegister for GuruConference (FREE + VIRTUAL!) https://www.guruconference.comㅤCheck out Eventastic (FREE + VIRTUAL!) https://www.eventastic.comㅤConnect with Jay on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/schwedelson/Check out Jay's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@schwedelsonCheck out Jay's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayschwedelson/Ask Jay anything: https://www.jayschwedelson.com/askㅤLeave a comment and follow the show, it really helps us out!
