Every business on the internet sells drugs.
More specifically, neurochemicals. I’m sure you’ve heard of them. Dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin.
These are all the chemicals in our brains that get us to do things.
Typically it is to increase our chances of survival by seeking comfort or increasing our status, thus ensuring future survival.
At the end of the day, keep you alive and make sure you procreate.
Everything in our brains is wired to motivate us to act in these certain ways.
Screens exploit these chemicals.
And it’s no secret.
All these technology and social media companies pay millions to social engineers to make their apps as addicting as possible, through spiking the neurochemicals in our brains.
Every time we scroll we see something “new” “interesting” or “drama” that gets us instantly hooked. This will either spike dopamine and get us to anticipate an interesting end to a video (watch to the end to see ___!!), sometimes they can spike cortisol by filling us with fear (most tv and news outlets are fear mongers for just this reason)
There are really endless ways that you and I can become slaves to the screen. And most average people have no idea.
Luckily you’re here on the best blog on the internet where we wake dudes like you TF up and you can learn to exploit this yourself.
And make your own money the exact same way.
To start you must view yourself as now only a PRODUCER. You are no longer a consumer.
You are only allowed to consume content in small amounts and never in a mindless scroll type of way.
Like a rat pressing the button to get more hits of dopamine until it dies, that is what it’s like to scroll endlessly on a phone for hours.
That is no longer you.
You are now a producer of the best damn content in your niche.
No matter what it is you sell, if you can make content that strikes the right chords in enough people’s brains, you will make money.
