But before we jump in, I want to introduce you to Sleazy Simon and Ethical Eddie.

 🍆Sleazy Simon marketing

You’ve seen him.

• pressure tactics
• “last chance!!” (for the 11th time)
• sleazy vibes that make your skin crawl

🧠 Ethical Eddie marketing

Same psychology.
Different intention.

Ethical Eddie:
• reduces doubt
• increases clarity
• helps people decide

No manipulation.
No guilt-tripping.
Just good marketing that respects brains and wallets.

💥 5 buyer psychology tips to sell more like Ethical Eddie

1. Sell relief, not pressure

Sleazy Simon:
“BUY NOW OR YOU’LL REGRET IT FOREVER”

Ethical Eddie:
“Here’s the problem. Here’s how my offer fixes it.”

People buy to escape pain faster than they buy to chase dreams.
Show them relief, not a countdown clock screaming at them.

2. Name the problem better than they can

Sleazy Simon talks about himself.
Ethical Eddie talks about your internal monologue.

Use the words your audience already uses.
The stuff they mutter at their laptop.
The thing that’s quietly annoying them.

When people feel understood, they feel safe to buy.

3. Use proof to lower fear

Sleazy Simon says:
“Trust me.”

Ethical Eddie says:
“Here’s the evidence.”

Screenshots.
Examples.
Before-and-afters.
Small, believable wins.

Proof removes risk.
Less risk = faster yes.

4. Repeat your message (yes, again)

Sleazy Simon panics and changes tactics every week.
Ethical Eddie understands familiarity builds trust.

If you’re bored of saying what you do,
your audience is probably hearing it for the first time.

Repetition isn’t annoying.
It’s reassuring.

5. Give a clear next step

Sleazy Simon overwhelms.
Ethical Eddie guides.

One offer.
One CTA.
One obvious “here’s the next step.”

Confused people don’t buy.
Clear people feel supported.

The real buyer psychology truth

Buyer psychology isn’t about tricking people.

It’s about:
• reducing doubt
• increasing clarity
• helping people make confident decisions

Do that and you won’t need hype, pressure, or cringe tactics.

Be Ethical Eddie.
Let Sleazy Simon shout into the void!
