Flippin’ the bird?

No. It’s called The Flip.

It’s the latest buZZin’ thing on the net right now. It’s the sultan of swat, the big bambino of easy cam-corders. It’a simple, easy-to-use, fit in yo’ pocket cam-corder with a plug and play USB plug that goes right into your computer.

Here’s how to use it:

• Record a video with you and George Clinton at a Regea festival.

2. Open your laptop. Plug in your USB.

3. Goto youtube and upload the video.

I’m laughing right now.

Not because of the craziness that’s happening across America as people from all walks of life flood the local Circuit City, Best Buy, Target, and the glutinous Wal-Mart, to take advantage of the Black Friday deals. (Whatever they are… Apple doesn’t really care, they give you a whopping $51 off a Macbook. WOW! No discount on the Macbook Pro though. errrrrrrgghhhh.)

I’m laughing because at 11:32 last night my girlfriend and I decided to make a trip to our local Best Buy in Boynton Beach, FL to see this so-called Black Friday madness in action.

Here’s how it went down…

So we take a left on Old Boynton Beach BLVD to turn into the parking lot. To our amazement we saw at least 600 kids, momma’s, momma’s babies momma’s, daddy’s, either playing cards, playing basketball, drinking booze, and sleeping. Most of the kids were trying to find chicks.

At that moment, Alex and I said in unison, “What a hell of a product launch!” (She knows this stuff because I talk about it non-stop.) Thanks to Jeff Walker for introducing us to the Product Launch Formula.

The laws of persuasion appeared in front of us…

Social Proof

What’s this? “Well, if everyone else is doing it, then it must be good.” It’s just like when you go to a club and see no-one at the front door. You say, “It’s dead, let’s check out somewhere else.” You then find a club that has a huge line because, “it must be good.”

I used to work at the front door of a club here in West Palm. My job was to help “control the door.” Controlling the door meant that I had to keep the line slammed with people and have it wrap around the building.

Why?

Social Proof. How can you do this on the internet? Blogs. Forums. A place where people can leave comments and add a social aspect (dynamic) to your webpage.

You see it in every big product launch.

The next law we saw in action double B was…

Scarcity

There were only a limited quantity of their “door busters” items so you have to get there early. This is another social influencer to get people to take action. For example, “We have 15,000 people on our list and selling only 300 copies. You better get in fast before they are all gone.”

This works wonders when you do it right when launching your product on the internet. You can base your scarcity on quantity and time. I use both when launching a new product or service.

Those were some of the most apparent laws of Influence. If I ever do it… I’ll get there at 5am when they open and run through the door.

Here’s a vid of the madness…

Here’s to your Black Friday,

Chris
