6: 🔗 Chain-of-Persuasion Prompting – Build Sales Content That Follows Human Psychology
AI Secrets for Creators Who Want to Build And Market Valuable Digital Products Online #PromptsForMarketing
You don’t need aggressive tactics to sell. You need sequence.
Great sales copy doesn’t happen by accident. It follows a flow—a chain of psychological steps—that guides your reader from interest to action.
With Chain-of-Persuasion Prompting, you get AI to build that journey one prompt at a time, like a master persuader:
👉 Hook
👉 Problem
👉 Pain
👉 Solution
👉 Proof
👉 Objection
👉 Urgency
👉 Offer
👉 Close
This works for sales pages, email sequences, webinars, VSLs, or product launch funnels.
🧠 What Makes It Work?
This method mirrors how real humans make decisions:
First they notice (hook)
Then they relate (problem)
Then they feel it (agitation)
Then they want relief (solution)
Then they ask, “Can I trust you?” (credibility)
Then they doubt (objections)
Then they stall (urgency)
Then they act (offer/CTA)
Most AI copy skips these steps or throws them out of order. That’s why it sounds generic or pushy.
🔧 Use Prompts Like These:
Hook:
“Write a hook that makes [niche] feel like you’re reading their mind. It should name a frustration they experience daily.”
Problem:
“Expand on that problem in a way that makes them realize the hidden cost—time, money, energy, or confidence.”
Agitation:
“Now show what happens if they don’t solve it. What does staying stuck really cost them?”
Solution:
“Position [your product] as the obvious answer. Highlight transformation—not just features.”
Proof:
“Drop a short story, case study, or testimonial that proves this works—especially for skeptical readers.”
Objections:
“List the top 3 hesitations. Address each one respectfully and factually, not defensively.”
Urgency:
“Give a reason they should act now: timing, risk of staying stuck, or opportunity cost.”
Offer/CTA:
“Present [your offer] as the next logical step. Reinforce transformation, value, and simplicity of saying yes.”
📦 Where to Use It:
Sales pages (full length or mini)
Video sales letters (build each part as a script)
Email launch sequences (each email = one chain link)
Webinars (build out slides in order of persuasion)
Free + shipping or tripwire offers (hit pain fast and present low-risk solution)
